Could you make a strategy like this to work with heiken ashi smoothed? I have done some backtesting and this type of algo would be very profitable with proper risk management So it would work like this:
[if (number) consecutive color bars after candle color change, then open position] [if (number) consecutive color bars after candle color change, then close position]
Additional parameters it would need
- trend filter(allow specified side, buy, sell or both)
- time allowed to trade (allow to trade between (T) hours and (T) hours)
- Allow multiple positions in the same direction

It looks good, but it seems like it is triggering more orders than it should, which would lead me to believe it works on tick data instead of candle close? Could there be an option added for order execution based on the choice of tick or close? It seems like close would work much better

I update this one. Try new version or Set Allow Multiple to No on existing one.

It seems it’s not working Heiken-Ashi smoothed parameters. Its changes do not affect back test

Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved yet?
This strategy looks very attractive.

Could you add Mandatory 24:00 closing to the original n-bars please. I want trade to enter at begining of day candle and close at end of it entering position based on direction of last candle.
another benefit would be confirmation by mva and or candles on another TF like the 1m-1hr.
Thanks in advance.
i copied and pasted the property from the smoothed nbars but the code doesn’t execute as it should and for good reason i can read the code understand it but takes me forever to make it work correctly after many times of trial and error

HI guys, Re: Heiken_AshiSmoothed_N_Bars_Strategy.lua
When I Start this Strategy I do not see a legend on my charts as I do with other Strategies. Also, the Dashboard shows a Green arrow indicating that the Strategy has started, but the word Yes does not show up in the Allow Trading column. I have checked the box to Allow Trading.
Is there a bug or some other problem?
Thanks for all your help

Hi again,
A followup to my last post. I now see that if I expand the active window I can see the Strategy label. This is not convenient and not necessary with other Strategies. Because I use a layout with 3 windows open, for some reason this Strategy does not show up unless I expand one of the windows.
Is it possible for me to change the location of the Strategy legend or can you suggest a work around?
Thanks, A.
