@BonBon I'm on the daily chart and it says time frames are wrong. Then the other doesn't even show up.

Your time frames cannot be lower than the main chart time frame etc. I adapted my script based on the below video and the accompanying script.

Based on my previous post, can anyone provide feedback to the below requests?

Feedback from members

I would like feedback from members regarding changing those candles that are “in the trend” but have a different color. (see chart). This would eliminate the number of signals that appear. (especially where there is only one red or green candle in the middle of the current trend. I have tried using strategies such as increasing the lookback period, using the previous candle(s) script but with no success. Please see notes within the chart on the first page.

Also, can someone please provide feedback on how to make the Fib lines shorter. Please see notes within the chart on the first page
 
@hexis777 You have to create separate scripts, load them into the lower chart and select the default time frame. The script is the same...the timeframe at the top is what changes. Check out the video which is posted at thread #41. This will give some clarity.
 
I like the project, I added more fib levels for the HA which are turned off, this script primarily draws the fib levels and creates a sloping line that follows price from the highs to the lows. If you want just the regular fibs just turn the r's off and turn the coefficient on.
Code: 
# Auto Fib V1.3
# tomsk
# 11.19.2019
#German_Burrito
# Automatically draws fibonacci retracements using the highest price and lowest price
# from the current view and timeframe.
#
# Fibonacci retracements use horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance
# at the key Fibonacci levels before it continues in the original direction. These levels
# are created by drawing a trendline between two extreme points and then dividing the
# vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, and 100%.

# CHANGE LOG
#
# V1.0 - 12.18.2018 - BenTen       - Initial release of Auto Fib, created by Ryan Hendricks
# V1.1 - 11.15.2019 - theelderwand - As script was difficult to read, made the following enhancements
#                                    Expands to right
#                                    Doesn't expand to left
#                                    Custom colors for Fibonacci bars (0.618 is GOLD color)
#                                    Custom line weights
#                                    Code is modularized so you can add extra plots as needed
# V1.2 - 11.15.2019 - tomsk        - Added an input selector for the colors of the label. You
#                                    can select from any of the colors listed - red, orange,
#                                    green, etc and bubbles for all the fib retracements will
#                                    utilize that color.
# V1.3 - 11.19.2019 - tomsk        - Modified the AddChartBubbles to be displayed on the right
#                                    side of the chart. Please ensure that you increase the
#                                    expansion area to that the bubbles have room to be displayed

I was backtesting reversal indicator. There was a difference in HA reversal(15.92) and candlestick price(16.71). Also, Candlestick was going up but HA was coming down. Is there a way to filter out these entries?
 
@Ghs Can you send the strategy that you used for the backtesting?

@JoeSD did you change the candle type as well to "candle" instead of "heiken ashi" ? Also, if you don't want to have the HA smoothing indicator turn off the "addchart" script.

@Ghs

As a reminder the HA plots the average price while the Japanese candlestick plots the actual price. You have to decide which price you will use for your entry and exit. If you wish to plot the regular candlesticks for your entry and exit you will have to change the script to reflect your preference.
 
@Ghs, here is a script for a backtest.
Code: 
# Backtest of BonBon Heiken_Ashi

@AspaTrader @germanburrito thank you for your contribution.

This is what I have done regarding the number of signals that occur. I have incorporated the trend reversal posted by @BenTen to reduce the number of signals. The script that is bold refers to the original HA script on the first page. At this time I am looking to write a script whereby signals occur daily as I not only swing trade but day trade as well. If you have created this script please share. I have made some additional changes and will share as soon as they are complete.

Notice the buy and/or sell signal does not appear at each color change. The plum color is neutral.

Here, there is no signal on the daily 5 minute chart if a signal triggered previously and certain conditions were met.

@BonBon Yes, I had the appearance set as you showed??? Not sure why I ONLY see the HA Smoothed and not the regular charts.???

@JoeSD I took a look at your code once again. It appears you might have your candles hidden. You must change your "hidecandles" to "no" if you want to see the candles. You have it as "yes".

input hidecandles = no;

BonBon, Yes that took care of it and thanks again. Joe

Is there a version where the HA smoothed is just a line (as opposed to a candle with wicks)? I have checked the forum and couldn't come up with one...? Thanks.

I like this version with the purple. Can you make one where the smoothed HA is a line (not candles with wicks)?

thanks.
 
@JoeSD I am not sure. However, you could turn off the smoothed HA by placing an hashtag in front of the "addchart ", turn on the assignpricecolor by removing the hashtag (if it is turned off) and change the candle in the "chart setting" to "Line" instead of "candle"
