TUE Renko Box/Time Tester

The TUE Renko Box/Time Tester is a technical indicator designed to quantify the frequency of consecutive duplicate timestamps within Renko charts on the TradingView platform. It serves the critical purpose of assessing the prevalence of identical timestamps, a crucial factor for the accurate automation of trading strategies.

The presence of duplicate timestamps can impede the reliability of automated trading systems. This indicator systematically examines Renko bars and identifies instances where successive bars share the same timestamp. The quantified data aids traders and developers in evaluating the quality and suitability of their Renko chart data for algorithmic trading purposes.

To ensure proper speed and precision in automation, traders are advised to run Renko charts on either 1-second or 5-second timeframes. Adjusting the box sizes of Renko charts based on these timeframes is essential.

The objective is to maintain the incidence of duplicate timestamps at levels below 20%, ensuring the robustness and consistency of automated trading strategies. By providing a quantitative analysis of timestamp duplication, this indicator supports traders in optimizing their trading systems for enhanced accuracy and efficiency.

The script will automatically collate only the last two days' worth of data, in order to maintain timestamp integrity. You should be able to view individual seconds on your timestamps, and if they're all reading :00 at the end, then you have ran out of seconds-level data. This is only done with a Premium or higher subscription.
Release Notes:
A couple variables didn't match proper casing convention, also rounded % result.
