Renko Star Indicator V4.10 MT4 — Cleaner Entries on EURUSD, GBPUSD & Gold
If your chart looks like spaghetti during London or New York sessions, you’re not alone. Price whips, random wicks, FOMO… it’s noisy. The Renko Star Indicator V4.10 for MT4 is built to declutter that mess by focusing on movement, not time. You get brick-based price action that highlights trend, filters chop, and gives you a simple, visual way to plan entries and exits. It works beautifully on M1/M5 for fast scalps and on H1/D1 for swing trades, across EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and XAU/USD (Gold).
Below, I’ll show you how it works, the optimal timeframes and pairs, practical settings, and a few ready-to-trade playbooks you can use from day one—no over-engineering, just clean rules you can repeat.
What Is the Renko Star Indicator V4.10 (MT4)?
Traditional candlesticks print a new bar every X minutes. Renko flips that idea on its head. Instead of time, each brick plots after price moves a fixed distance (the brick size). This strips away chop, highlights structure, and makes trends far easier to see.
Renko Star V4.10 leverages that logic directly on MetaTrader 4, giving you:
- A brick-based view that removes time noise
- Clear trend transitions (brick color/direction)
- Objective swing points for stops and targets
- Clean breakouts and pullback zones you can actually see
You’re not trying to predict every tick. You’re reacting to directional movement with pre-defined brick sizes that suit your style (scalp vs swing) and your instrument’s volatility (forex vs gold).
Why Renko Works So Well on EURUSD, GBPUSD & XAUUSD
EURUSD: tight spreads, steady flows; Renko helps you ride the smoother intraday legs and skip the micro-chop.
GBPUSD: more volatile; Renko’s brick logic dampens head fakes and clarifies where the real push begins.
XAUUSD (Gold): big, clean runs; Renko helps you latch onto momentum and trail sensibly without staring at every candle wick.
These three instruments cover two major FX pairs and a popular metals market. With V4.10, you can create one visual framework and apply it consistently across all three.
Timeframes That Actually Make Sense
Scalping (M1/M5):
- Fast setups during London & NY sessions
- Best with fixed brick sizes that match current volatility
- Ideal for EURUSD & GBPUSD; also effective on Gold with caution
Swing/Position (H1/D1):
- Fewer signals, higher quality
- Best for catching multi-session or multi-day moves
- Especially effective on XAUUSD trends and GBPUSD expansions
Pro tip: You’re not forced to use the MT4 timeframe as a signal generator; you’re using it as a workspace. The brick size is your true “tempo” control.
Suggested Brick Sizes (Starting Points)
These are practical, non-extreme starting ranges. Tweak them based on your broker quotes and current volatility:
- EURUSD
- M1/M5 scalping: 5–10 pips per brick
- H1/D1 swing: 20–40 pips per brick
- GBPUSD
- M1/M5 scalping: 7–12 pips per brick
- H1/D1 swing: 25–50 pips per brick
- XAUUSD (Gold)
- M1/M5 scalping: 0.5–1.0 USD per brick
- H1/D1 swing: 2–5 USD per brick
Keep it simple. If your chart looks hyper-sensitive (too many bricks), raise the brick size. If it looks sluggish (late to show moves), reduce the brick size.
Core Trading Logic With Renko Star
1) Define trend bias
- Uptrend: consecutive bullish bricks stair-stepping higher with shallow pullbacks.
- Downtrend: consecutive bearish bricks stair-stepping lower.
2) Choose your entry style
- Breakout: Enter when price breaks above/below a recent consolidation range defined by 3–5 bricks.
- Pullback continuation: Wait for a small counter-brick pullback, then enter when a new trend-brick prints in the direction of the main move.
3) Place stops where the structure says
- Pullback entries: stop a brick or two beyond the last swing (or beyond the counter-pullback).
- Breakouts: stop just outside the broken range; invalidation is the range re-entry.
4) Manage exits rationally
- Fixed RR like 1:1.5 or 1:2 for scalps.
- ATR-style trail or swing-low/high trailing for swings.
- For XAUUSD, consider partial profit at +1R, then trail the rest behind each new swing.
Quick-Start Playbooks (Copy/Paste Rules)
EURUSD (M5 Scalping)
- Brick size: 6–8 pips
- Bias: Uptrend if at least 5 consecutive bullish bricks and no lower swing break.
- Entry: Buy the first bullish brick after a 1–2 brick pullback.
- Stop: 2 bricks below pullback low.
- Take Profit: 1.5–2R or trail behind each new swing low.
GBPUSD (M5 Momentum Pop)
- Brick size: 8–10 pips
- Bias: Sideways if bricks alternate frequently; stand aside until a 3-brick range breaks.
- Entry: Breakout of the range with 2 consecutive bricks in the breakout direction.
- Stop: 1 brick beyond the opposite edge of the former range.
- TP: First scale at +1R, then trail for a runner.
XAUUSD (H1 Swing)
- Brick size: 3 USD
- Bias: Identify a sequence of higher highs & higher lows in bricks.
- Entry: Add on pullbacks when a new bullish brick confirms continuation.
- Stop: 1–2 bricks beyond the pullback low.
- Exit: Trail behind each new swing; consider a time-based exit pre-news.
Risk Management (The Piece Most Traders Skip)
- Position sizing: Risk 0.5%–1% per trade; for Gold on H1, 0.25%–0.5% is safer.
- Max daily loss: Stop trading for the day if you hit 2R–3R drawdown.
- News filter: On GBP and Gold, major events can spike through brick stops; either stand aside or halve size pre-news.
- Session selection: London open to mid-session for FX scalps; early NY for momentum follow-through; Gold can trend well during both.

Advanced Tips That Make a Difference
- Multi-Brick Confirmation: For breakouts, require 2 bricks in the same direction before entry to avoid single-brick fakeouts.
- Structure First, Indicators Second: Add a simple moving average or volatility band only after you’re comfortable reading bricks—Renko is already a filter.
- Weekend Gaps: Be careful holding into weekends; gaps can jump multiple bricks.
- Review Sessions: Screenshot your best/worst sequences each week; patterns repeat, and Renko makes them obvious.
