//|   EA VERSION
//|   RenkoLiveChart_v3.2.mq4
//|   Inspired from Renko script by "e4" (renko_live_scr.mq4)
//|   Copyleft 2009 LastViking
//|   
//|   Aug 12 2009 (LV): 
//|            - Wanted volume in my Renko chart so I wrote my own script
//|     
//|   Aug 20-21 2009 (LV) (v1.1 - v1.3):
//|            - First attempt at live Renko brick formation (bugs O bugs...)
//|            - Fixed problem with strange symbol names at some 5 digit 
//|               brokers (credit to Tigertron)
//|     
//|   Aug 24 2009 (LV) (v1.4):
//|            - Handle High / Low in history in a reasonable way (prev. 
//|               used Close)
//|   
//|   Aug 26 2009 (Lou G) (v1.5/v1.6):
//|            - Finaly fixing the "late appearance" (live Renko brick 
//|               formation) bug
//| 
//|   Aug 31 2009 (LV) (v2.0):
//|            - Not a script anylonger, but run as indicator 
//|            - Naroved down the MT4 bug that used to cause the "late appearance bug" 
//|               a little closer (has to do with High / Low gaps)
//|            - Removed the while ... sleep() loop. Renko chart is now tick 
//|               driven: -MUSH nicer to system resources this way
//| 
//|   Sep 03 2009 (LV) (v2.1):
//|            - Fixed so that Time[] holds the open time of the renko 
//|               bricks (prev. used time of close)
//|     
//|   Sep 16 2009 (Lou G) (v3.0): 
//|            - Optional wicks added
//|            - Conversion back to EA 
//|            - Auto adjust for 5 and 6 dec brokers added
//|               enter RenkoBoxSize as "actual" size e.g. "10" for 10 pips
//|            - Compensation for "zero compare" problem added
//|
//|   Okt 05 2009 (LV) (v3.1): 
//|            - Fixed a bug related to BoxOffset
//|            - Auto adjust for 3 and 4 dec JPY pairs
//|            - Removed init() function
//|            - Changed back to old style Renko brick formation
//| 
//|   Okt 13 2009 (LV) (v3.2): 
//|            - Added "EmulateOnLineChart" option (credit to Skipperxit/Mimmo)
//|
