Heiken Ashi opens both buy and sell at same time

[felix2828]

Hi,

noticed from backtesting that heiken ashi bot opens trades sometimes for both buy and sell at the same time.
Read on an old thread to just use 1 once per bar, but hasen't changed.

Somebody got any idea why.

Thank you

@felix2828 this happens because you are using "indicator appears" block with the same candle type condition, doesn't matter high or low, this kind of block not ideal to get value of top and bottom.

Hi,

thank you.

so you suggest using conditions block instead right?

For example, buy signal Heiken Ashi, Bull Candle, Low, previous opposite

What would you suggest for using the is <> =?

Tried using Candle 0 > Candle 1 for buy for instance but got same breakout false signal, that bot jumps after price move, than rather using the better price below of the candle.

Also tried using candle heiken ashi candle type low wick but doesnt seem to open, because often in the moment when market retraces from the wick, then heiken ashi color changes.

@felix2828 yes, you can use some condition block. Remember when you use candle ID0 the only data we know is the open price of that candle, nothing else.

Yes, found from testing, that Heiken Ashi Candle for entry signal often forms within same candle. Candle 0.

Would you recommend using Candle ID 1 for previous candle instead anyway?

Does it work to look for Candle ID 1 as " level candle" like the High as reference at in current candle if market pullbacks, rejects and then in the moment it moves back down the Heiken ashi forms it would enter with the momentum?

Have noticed that often market doesnt retraces for another candle to form, somestimes it does.

Might be a good compromise to have a signal but also ensure to be in the trade.
