Any plans for Renko support?

I will look into it.
I think we can implement a convertion function make candistick map to Renko first.
Then add the plot recipe later.

@iblis17 I think you are wrong you can't make "candlestick map to Renko"
You need ticks data to draw Renko.

Some free ticks data are available at
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketwatch/historical/
https://github.com/femtotrader/DukascopyTicksReader.jl may help

TrueFX also provides free ticks data

@femtotrader yep, here's a typescript implementation:

https://github.com/anandanand84/technicalindicators/blob/master/src/chart_types/Renko.ts

And a JavaScript one: https://github.com/rrag/react-stockcharts/blob/b9518ad87bb29b39d79b5b80ab9c8dc406294c15/src/lib/calculator/renko.js

Haven't seen a Julia one yet, hence the issues.

There is several kind of Renko charts

Some are using fixed height for brick.

Some are using ATR.
