Trend trader StrategyFirst I would like to thank to @JustUncleL since this strategy started from one of his scalper strategies This strategy can be adapted to all time charts . First it has the session where we want to trade, for this example I choosed the EURUSD so I only take in consideration london/neywork session. Its made from 3 EMA : normal slow ultra slow It has has the capacity to use HA candles into consideration if its needed. At the same time we have a price channel made from faster MAs, that act like a bollinger band . Together with all of them, we establish which trend we have if its uptrend or downtrend Then we check the candles if they are below or above the MA , and based on the condition if they crossed recently we can suggest if its a buy or a long condition At the same time we have 2 options of stop conditions: Through a trailing stop made from ATR or % based And second, a SL/TP made from pip points or % based. For this example I used % based. Let me know what you think about it, and if you found some nice settings for it. So far I only adapted to EURUSD 1 min time.

BERLIN CandlesA problem with Heikin Ashi is that while it gives you a great overview of overall direction, it is rarely possible to use it as a replacement for normal japanese candlesticks. The reason for this is that actual price data is lost, since the candles are more akin to a moving average than a different way to see price action. Also, with Heikin Ashi, most of the actual price action is lost, because the candles can be bigger than the high and low of the underlying japanese candlestick. With BERLIN Candles I have tried to fix that problem. By using a smoothed out version of the previous Heikin Ashi candle close as the current BERLIN Candle open, the high and low of the actual japanese candlestick for the high and low of the BERLIN Candle, and the current Heikin Ashi close as the BERLIN Candle close, while setting hard limits for BERLIN Candle open and close values so that they can never exceed the high and low of the underlying japanese candlestick. One problem still persists though. The actual current price data is lost. However, the BERLIN Candles have solved this by adding a fifth part to the candles. The close of the underlying japanese candlesticks are indicated with a plus-sign. This way, actual price data is never lost, while keeping all of the other benefits of this type of candles. A few added bonuses: The addition of the 14 period ATR at the latest candle The baseline from Ichimoku is included as an option The 14 period ATR value of each candle can be seen in the indicator data as the orange value

Backtesting on Non-Standard Charts: Caution! - PineCoders FAQMuch confusion exists in the TradingView community about backtesting on non-standard charts. This script tries to shed some light on the subject in the hope that traders make better use of those chart types. Non-standard charts are: Heikin Ashi (HA) Renko Kagi Point & Figure Range These chart types are called non-standard because they all transform market prices into synthetic views of price action. Some focus on price movement and disregard time. Others like HA use the same division of bars into fixed time intervals but calculate artificial open, high, low and close (OHLC) values. Non-standard chart types can provide traders with alternative ways of interpreting price action, but they are not designed to test strategies or run automated traded systems where results depend on the ability to enter and exit trades at precise price levels at specific times, whether orders are issued manually or algorithmically. Ironically, the same characteristics that make non-standard chart types interesting from an analytical point of view also make them ill-suited to trade execution. Why? Because of the dislocation that a synthetic view of price action creates between its non-standard chart prices and real market prices at any given point in time. Switching from a non-standard chart price point into the market always entails a translation of time/price dimensions that results in uncertainty—and uncertainty concerning the level or the time at which orders are executed is detrimental to all strategies. The delta between the chart’s price when an order is issued (which is assumed to be the expected price) and the price at which that order is filled is called slippage . When working from normal chart types, slippage can be caused by one or more of the following conditions: • Time delay between order submission and execution. During this delay the market may move normally or be subject to large orders from other traders that will cause large moves of the bid/ask levels. • Lack of bids for a market sell or lack of asks for a market buy at the current price level. • Spread taken by middlemen in the order execution process. • Any other event that changes the expected fill price. When a market order is submitted, matching engines attempt to fill at the best possible price at the exchange. TradingView strategies usually fill market orders at the opening price of the next candle. A non-standard chart type can produce misleading results because the open of the next candle may or may not correspond to the real market price at that time. This creates artificial and often beneficial slippage that would not exist on standard charts. Consider an HA chart. The open for each candle is the average of the previous HA bar’s open and close prices. The open of the HA candle is a synthetic value, but the real market open at the time the new HA candle begins on the chart is the unrelated, regular open at the chart interval. The HA open will often be lower on long entries and higher on short entries, resulting in unrealistically advantageous fills. Another example is a Renko chart. A Renko chart is a type of chart that only measures price movement. The purpose of a Renko chart is to cluster price action into regular intervals, which consequently removes the time element. Because Trading View does not provide tick data as a price source, it relies on chart interval close values to construct Renko bricks. As a consequence, a new brick is constructed only when the interval close penetrates one or more brick thresholds. When a new brick starts on the chart, it is because the previous interval’s close was above or below the next brick threshold. The open price of the next brick will likely not represent the current price at the time this new brick begins, so correctly simulating an order is impossible. Some traders have argued with us that backtesting and trading off HA charts and other non-standard charts is useful, and so we have written this script to show traders what happens when order fills from backtesting on non-standard charts are compared to real-world fills at market prices. Let’s review how TV backtesting works. TV backtesting uses a broker emulator to execute orders. When an order is executed by the broker emulator on historical bars, the price used for the fill is either the close of the order’s submission bar or, more often, the open of the next. The broker emulator only has access to the chart’s prices, and so it uses those prices to fill orders. When backtesting is run on a non-standard chart type, orders are filled at non-standard prices, and so backtesting results are non-standard—i.e., as unrealistic as the prices appearing on non-standard charts. This is not a bug; where else is the broker emulator going to fetch prices than from the chart? This script is a strategy that you can run on either standard or non-standard chart types. It is meant to help traders understand the differences between backtests run on both types of charts. For every backtest, a label at the end of the chart shows two global net profit results for the strategy: • The net profits (in currency) calculated by TV backtesting with orders filled at the chart’s prices. • The net profits (in currency) calculated from the same orders, but filled at market prices (fetched through security() calls from the underlying real market prices) instead of the chart’s prices. If you run the script on a non-standard chart, the top result in the label will be the result you would normally get from the TV backtesting results window. The bottom result will show you a more realistic result because it is calculated from real market fills. If you run the script on a normal chart type (bars, candles, hollow candles, line, area or baseline) you will see the same result for both net profit numbers since both are run on the same real market prices. You will sometimes see slight discrepancies due to occasional differences between chart prices and the corresponding information fetched through security() calls. Features • Results shown in the Data Window (third icon from the top right of your chart) are: — Cumulative results — For each order execution bar on the chart, the chart and market previous and current fills, and the trade results calculated from both chart and market fills. • You can choose between 2 different strategies, both elementary. • You can use HA prices for the calculations determining entry/exit conditions. You can use this to see how a strategy calculated from HA values can run on a normal chart. You will notice that such strategies will not produce the same results as the real market results generated from HA charts. This is due to the different environment backtesting is running on where for example, position sizes for entries on the same bar will be calculated differently because HA and standard chart close prices differ. • You can choose repainting/non-repainting signals. • You can show MAs, entry/exit markers and market fill levels. • You can show candles built from the underlying market prices. • You can color the background for occurrences where an order is filled at a different real market price than the chart’s price. Notes • On some non-standard chart types you will not obtain any results. This is sometimes due to how certain types of non-standard types work, and sometimes because the script will not emit orders if no underlying market information is detected. • The script illustrates how those who want to use HA values to calculate conditions can do so from a standard chart. They will then be getting orders emitted on HA conditions but filled at more realistic prices because their strategy can run on a standard chart. • On some non-standard chart types you will see market results surpass chart results. While this may seem interesting, our way of looking at it is that it points to how unreliable non-standard chart backtesting is, and why it should be avoided. • In order not to extend an already long description, we do not discuss the particulars of executing orders on the realtime bar when using non-standard charts. Unless you understand the minute details of what’s going on in the realtime bar on a particular non-standard chart type, we recommend staying away from this. • Some traders ask us: Why does TradingView allow backtesting on non-standard chart types if it produces unrealistic results? That’s somewhat like asking a hammer manufacturer why it makes hammers if hammers can hurt you. We believe it’s a trader’s responsibility to understand the tools he is using. Takeaways • Non-standard charts are not bad per se, but they can be badly used. • TV backtesting on non-standard charts is not broken and doesn’t require fixing. Traders asking for a fix are in dire need of learning more about trading. We recommend they stop trading until they understand why. • Stay away from—even better, report—any vendor presenting you with strategies running on non-standard charts and implying they are showing reliable results. • If you don’t understand everything we discussed, don’t use non-standard charts at all. • Study carefully how non-standard charts are built and the inevitable compromises used in calculating them so you can understand their limitations.

Real Candles Heikin Ashi (HA) Candle functionsThis script plots both real and HA candles regardless or which are used on the chart in TV settings. (and has the functions for you to use.) Lots of people seem to misunderstand backtesting (or scam people) based on HA candles. Backtesting with HA candles leads to impossible trades. ALWAYS backtest with real candles. That doesn't mean you might not want to look at HA candle values to make trading decisions. Add the code below to calculate HA candles from real and use that in your HA trading algo, but test it on real charts.

Heiken Ashi BF Heiken Ashi candles help us to identify a trend. This strategy simply enters a long when the Heiken Ashi candles turn green and a short when they turn red. Because of the way BTC price moves in medium term trends, this simple strategy seems effective. There is a rate of change function applied to avoid some of the choppy sideways action (thanks again to kiasaki for the code) There is a 2% fixed stop loss applied and an optional take-profit setting. You can change both in the settings. As you can see from the code, this strategy does not enter trades based on the Heiken Ashi closes, rather the actual price close. This is an important distinction since the HA closes are based on an average of the OHLC values so attempting to enter at that price may not always be possible. There are some "strategies" that use this information to try and con people by appearing to have awesome entries that are actually not attainable in all cases. Green = Long Red = Short White = No trade
