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,
My Range Bar Generator is giving the nessage “Valid till November 7”. Why this is happening? TIA for your answer
BTW, I have recently changed windows 7 for windows 10
Hi,
Please can you advise how to edit the chart update frequency?
You may use the delay_omnia parameter as described here

Hi, Is there any way to auto reload the chart when changing the range scale via the Omnia Remote?
Some 3rd party indicators don’t respond to the change and become misaligned until they, or the chart is reloaded.
Thanks
Hello Chris, probably it could be achieved by re-applying the saved template, but it might destroy the expert and indicators settings, I am afraid. It used to work by forcing a timeframe change event, but Metaquotes removed this command as ‘useless’ three years ago, despite my intervention.
Hi Milan, recently I upgrade MT4 to buil 1160, that was a error, because the indicator start freezing, than I needed to wait so much time to load the charts, so I change to build 1090 again in portable mode. Now the indicator are fast. I know that this is not your fault, I just want to send you this information. By the way, I use 3 plataforms of MT4 in my analysis, in each plataform I load 30 charts, with 3 Omnia indicator in 10 of then and it is very fast with build 1090.
Hello Fabio, I am sorry for this unpleasant situation. Fortunately it seems to turn better, Metaquotes already released a beta hot fix without this defect (build 1161, update currently available via Metaquotes feed), and scheduled a public release 1170 for December 20. I decided it was close enough to avoid other temporary solutions. So please take the 1161 automatically when connected to the Metaquotes trading account, or wait till December 20 to download the 1170 update from your broker’s feed.
Hi, I purchased your RangeBar indicator. I realized however that changing the number of candles displayed is very different.
Situation:
Mt4 Account: Same for 2 pcs
Symbol: Us30
Candle Range: 600 points
Number of Candles: 30000
Computer 1
Start the candles on 04/02/2019
Computer 2
Candles start on 12/27/2018
This would affect a possible future strategy. Can I have an explanation?
You very probably do not have identical set of historical data in the two terminal instances for such a long period. Scratch the hst files and run the LoadAllHistory script on both terminals.
And, when your strategy requires such a deep precise history, ensure all M1 through W1 charts cover that period.
hello ovo team,
i wanted to ask when i activate the normal tick volume indicator from mt4 on your range bar indicator, if it shows the volume per range
i have seen many free indicators where they show zero volume in some range bars … the reason for that was cause the range bars volume was also time based
so my question is if your indicator shows per range the real tick volume?
Hello Atilla, it shows the proper tick volume, i.e. tick delta which was added during the bar interval. It will have identical volume sum over the session as any other timeframe chart. Sometimes may happen a price gap – when the gap is wider than the bar range, then the bar has zero tick volume assigned. While the timeframe charts simply skip bars without volume, Range bars chart traverses price gaps with phantom bars.

You probably might ask your bank what is wrong, Mastercard is one of the few supported ones by Paypal afaIk. I do not have an option to use other payment processor at the moment, I am sorry.
Hi
Can i use this range bar in iphone?
How should i install it into my iphone?
Thanks
If your iPhone can run terminal.exe, then very probably yes.
Hi Milan. First thanks a lot for this maverlous indicator, it works flawlessly. One question. During recent days, and due to market conditions, is seems that the price movements is very big. I remember in the past that you mention that I must include a Global variable “delay_e” in order to help the price feed. Is this correct? what value for “delay_e” should I use?. Thanks
Hello, Do you have Range/Renko bars offline generator for MetaTrader 5 as well? Thank you
Hi Milan,
I’m wanting to get back into trading after a break and I’m thinking of going over to MT4 having used ProRealTime in the past. I particularly want to trade range bars and your product looks to be ideal. A couple of questions if I may . . .
1) I use a Chromebook – is this compatible with this product and, additionally, your OmniaRemote tool? Regarding the latter, I especially like the feature that John McDonald enquired about in his post near the start of the thread. (May 30, 2016 at 12:41 am)
2) I don’t expect you to comment on your competitors, however, as a technophobe, I’m struggling to weigh up the pros and cons of your software compared to that offered by AZ – Invest. I like simple! So, I wonder if there any features or benefits of your products that might make them easier to use and hassle free compared to theirs?
Thanks in advance,
Tim.

Hi, range bar just for metatreder4? Do you have ranges for metatreder5?
Hello,
Is the bars recalculate/redraw after completed even i reload the chart ?
Thanks
The chart gets recalculated when the connection drops for more than 1 minute, and it does not recalculate if you reload it by changing the timeframe (if I understood your question properly).
How can we backtest an EA with rangebar ?
Didn’t get my verification key upon purchasing.
Please use the contact form for such issues. This is a public discussion place.
HI
will it run on MR5?
