# "Qrenko" Bar Type

The Qrenko is our custom renko bar built for the NinjaTrader platform.

The Qrenko is meant to further smooth out price action and allow for more customizability than the standard Renko offered on NinjaTrader.

### SETTINGS

The Qrenko is quite straight forward and simple to configure, with only 3 settings.

These include "Shift", "Offset", and "Range".

For $NQ, we recommend not touching the default settings of 7, 11, 33.

For $ES, we recommend lower values like 1,3, and 7 respectively.
