Large Labels

• Easy identification of comment info: Symbolum, BoxSize, Tempus Frame.
• Fast identification of chart and indicator parameters facilitates efficiency.

All code original to this EA copy is unaltered and runs independent of added code.

Charts

• Large Fonts support for wall mounted screens & easy vision requirements - no vertical overlap.

Indicators in above chart - HERE

Nota: No Ticks !

1. EAs rely on ticks and when markets are closed there are no ticks.
2. Renko charts will not update to new BoxSize and other inputs.

To solve, a Tick Generator is handy - LIBER - HERE . Also helps when testing in quiet - tick scarce - mercatus.

Defaults: Edit for user preference.
