Renko Brick Size Calculation for Nifty (2026): 33.33/16.66

Short answer: Renko brick size should scale with the instrument’s volatility — commonly a fraction of ATR. Dr Devendra’s taught framework uses 33.33 for 1-hour Renko logic and 16.66 for 30-minute setups (from his Renko chart-setup videos). Too small = noise flips; too large = late entries. Below: how brick sizing works, his framework, and the indicator that automates it.

What brick size actually controls

Brick = noise filter threshold. Only price moves bigger than one brick draw new bricks; everything smaller is ignored.
Too small: bricks flip on every wiggle — same whipsaw as candles, effort wasted.
Too large: clean trends but entries come late and stops sit far.
Right size ≈ a fraction of current ATR — the standard practitioner approach across instruments.

Dr Devendra’s 33.33 / 16.66 framework

In his Renko chart-setup sessions he teaches timeframe-linked brick math: 1-hour Renko logic around a 33.33 brick calculation, 30-minute setups around 16.66 — i.e. brick size steps down with the timeframe so intraday charts stay readable. Concept: faster charts need finer bricks, but never finer than the noise floor (check ATR first). Watch his setup videos for the full derivation (see his YouTube channel: TradeWithDrDevendra).

Setting brick size on TradingView

Open your chart (e.g. Nifty futures) and note the 14-period ATR on your timeframe.
Switch chart type to Renko (chart-type menu, bottom axis).
Open Renko settings → set brick size to a fraction of ATR (start ~1/3–1/2 of ATR, then forward-test).
Validate: 2–4 weeks of signals with acceptable flip rate before sizing up.

FAQ

What brick size for Nifty intraday?
No fixed number — scale to live ATR (start a fraction of 14-period ATR on your timeframe) and forward-test. Fixed bricks decay as volatility shifts.

What are 33.33 and 16.66?
Dr Devendra’s taught brick calculations for 1-hour and 30-minute Renko setups respectively — timeframe-linked sizing from his setup videos.

ATR-based or fixed bricks?
ATR-based adapts to volatility regimes; fixed bricks need manual resets. Adaptive wins for intraday.

Do I need Renko charts for his indicators?
No — Mahakaal brings Renko intelligence onto normal candles.
