In the Range bar, all price bars are of equal length. So, for example, if you set a 10 pip range bar, then all bars are of a 10 pips range (high to low, or low to high).
In range bars, the close of a bar is always equal to the open of the next bar. The range is measured between the high and low price . Learn more about Range chart here
In the Renko bars, every bar is of the same length (including reversals, but the price must travel two times the Renko bar in the opposite direction). Learn more about Renko chart here.
