Forget time, watch action
Range Bars are determined for alternate price charting. Unlike the usual time frame chart – where every candle represents a fixed time interval – the goal is to ignore time and to display price movement using candles with equal heights.

Unique Features
What are additional features of Ovo offline generators?
- the generator is an indicator rather than a script or EA, which makes it more comfortable for deployment
- input setting is adjustable from multiple places: from the input dialogue, or from the entry box of an indicator sub-window, or from the offline chart using additional indicators (Omnia Remote, Omnia Auto Range). Settings on the offline chart makes the range switching as flexible as switching between timeframes.
- safe timeframe switching of the feed chart (no need for sacrificing the feed chart for a single timeframe)
- generator can detect and optionally break chart into trading sessions
- generator uses all available timeframes for the initial model, and it is not bound to a single selected timeframe
- when starting up, the indicator selects the chart starting anchor from the user-defined chart candles count
- a single indicator can serve multiple identical offline charts (a single chart ID in multiple windows)
- detects significant drop-outs in feed and rebuilds the offline chart after the feed updates
- displays consistent candle tick volume calibrated to regular timeframes, so you may rely on the tick volume in your analysis and EAs
- guards for a change of the feed server, so it updates the chart if you switch between accounts
- works properly with symbols having MQL unfriendly names (like “EURUSD..”, i.e. trailing double dot in the name)
- reports unexpected time gaps in the MT4 history, reports inconsistencies between symbol timeframes
- excludes phantom (no volume) ticks
- fixes incorrect input for a non-trivial instrument tick size
- can decrease chart refresh rate on demand
- indicator development is still open, you may expect fast fixes for new Metatrader builds

Hi Milan,
I am viveg,i want to purchase the life time key for rangenogap bars.
To make it work do i have to purchase omnio remote key as well ?
Definitively not, it is a free tool, and it optional for running the range bars.
Ok thanks. Range bar cost mentioned 45 us dollar. Do I have to pay anything extra to set up range bar key? . Will the key work for life time?
No additional costs, and lifetime.
Hi, will this work on I pad?
It is for Windows MT4, not sure if the Windows version can run on iPad. More likely not.
very good work. but I think it lacks Heiken ashi to be perfect
Sure, it lacks a lot of optional features, but I prefer keeping things simple for the user as much as possible.
When I use the Range Bar Indicator on an off line chart, my MT4 gets slower and slower.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Regards,
Mikael
I’ve been using your RangeBar_e since Feb 2014. Today it stopped working. The “evaluation as expired” messaged showed up and said version 210.009 is available. What has changed? Did my version expire? Do I need to pay for another license? I love the chart RR charts but now my charts are stalled and trading is suspended. Where do I go from here?
Hello Randy, nice to hear that the historical version is still able to run with the latest builds.
The reason why the license seems expired is probably because your computer OS got upgraded several times, eating the license with upgrades. However the license is lifetime, and it is valid the latest version. Fix the license yourself at License Check & Key Reset page.
I downloaded the No Gap Range Bar to see what is was like. Your site said a 15 day try it out before you buy was available. When I apply the Range Bar I get the message “Expired. Next free period starts in 88 days”. So, how does this work?
Thanks,
Randy
The no-gap version shares the trial and license with the regular version.
Hello,
Does the software populate “phantom” bars when there is a gap in price? Say one bar closes and there is a 10 pip gap up. I am asking for back testing purposes, as I would like to get the most accurate back test possible.
Thanks,
Rod
Hello Rod,
yes, the chart contains the phantoms where expected, you may detect them by zero volume.
For back-testing with the phantoms, you would need to use the Rangebar FXT Builder. The Strategy Tester does not allow the zero volume bars on its own, however the FXT Builder can insert them.
Milan,
I am close to being done developing my trading system and I hope to start selling monthly and yearly software licenses for my forex robot. If it goes well, I plan on referring all of my customers to you. Would it be possible to work out a bulk discount for the people that purchase a robot from me? This is assuming that everything goes well.
Thanks,
Rod
Milan,
Thank you for your quick response. Is there a way to eliminate the phantom bars in order to see just the true price data? That would be very beneficial for me.
Thanks,
Rod
I Milan
Im tradind currently with your tools – range bars and renko-
I ve seen on the net some comments about adaptative range bars or dynamic range bars -range is not fixed, it s varying with volatility, from a minimum to a maximum – it seems to be very interesting- do you have something like that?
Milan,
Can you direct me to that YouTube video that shows how to back test on MT4 with range bars?
Thanks.
Phil
Unfortunately I do not have any video, except the basic one at the FXT Builder page
Hi Milan,
Really greatfull and enjoying the Rangebar product and Omnia for longtime, any chance I can have a chat with you on skype for few minutes ?
Have couple of questiones for you and a buisness opportunity ?
Hello Gili, unfortunately I have not been using Skype. I apologize very much, I prefer the email conversation, because of very limited time in the recent period.
Hi Milan, so sending you a mail to the support/contact us.
I would glad if you can mail me back to confirm you got it please, it’s really important for me.
Also sent you a PM in FF forums, it’s maybe not so clear, so I will rewrite one to the contact form.
Thanks,
Gili
Hi,
Any plans to release in MT5 soon ?
Would love to have your range bars in MT5!
Thanks with much anticipation.
There is intention, but despite it there is still no way how to implement offline charts in MT5. Hopefully they come with some solution in the near future.
Thank you for your quick response.
Let’s hope they accomodate soon as the transition to MT5 has begun.
In your opinion, how much more trading time do we have with the MT4 platform?
Thanks for all. Best regards.
Hello Max, I guess two more years are quite sure.
Hello , I am Duangthida
I would like to know the different between RENKO chart and RANGE bar chart trading setup.
THX.
Hello,
I need new bar event even if there is gap. eg. I have a 10point high range bar and at new tick the price is higher than 10 point and the indicator draw 2 bar at the same time. I need event about all drew bars. Is it possible?
Many Thanks!
Hello Peter, I am not sure what events you think of. There is no implicit event defined for the new bar in the MT4, however every coder may create his proprietary event on any condition.
Hello,
I need to generate offline Range Bars for different pairs for the last 6 months to test an EA. Which among the scripts can help me achieve the above?
Many Thanks
None of the above. For testing the EA performance you would need the Rangebars FXT Builder.
Hi Milan,
Thanks for the reply. One more quiz. Which indicator will generate the same Range Bars as that test data generated by the Rangebars FXT Builder now on live.
Thanks and Regards
The same range bars on the test chart – exactly as you can see on your live chart – can be achieved by the BackTestHelper. However they won’t be tick based.
Would it be possible to have an alert that notifies when a new range bar is created?
