Optimizing the Signals Accuracy

KT Renko Patterns indicator shows multiple patterns, but not every pattern may be suitable for a symbol. You can quickly improve the accuracy of the signals by following the simple steps:

Make sure each pattern is set to True.
Choose a "Success Rate Criterion" (we recommend the second TP).
Turn-off each pattern one by one and monitor the success rate percentage.
If turning off a particular pattern improves the success rate, keep it off.
If turning off a particular pattern worsen the success rate, set it to True again.
Adjust the value of "Min. Bars Between Patterns" between 20 to 100.

Increasing the value of "bars distance" between the patterns will usually improve the success rate. However, a high value will significantly decrease the number of signals, so a balanced value between 20 to 100 must be selected.
