Looking For Input For HMA Strategy

I really think this is going to be a good strategy. I need to still add Labels so it will work with Macro Recorder. That isn't necessary though. I would like every ones feedback and criticism. Try it out. I will attempt to add labels. I also may add a couple of filters. Not sure if I will need them because with my testing so far, as long as you lengthen the Fast HMA, you can cut out most of the pullbacks and chop.

You must edit your ADDLabel statements. That is the code that determines label color and determines whether it "stays" or goes.
Make sure your conditional statements within your AddLabel are referencing the previous closed bar, not the current bar, not the next bar: the previous closed bar syntax ==[1].

Yes. I know that about the repaint, but do not know how to reference the opening of the next bar. I will look at your link. Hopefully that will shed some light on it.

I am hitting a brick wall here. I can get the labels to color properly but, I cannot get them to stay white. (I may just use them this way if I have to)
1) Do I need this to be a strategy in order for the labels to work so that they only trigger once the candle closes or at open of the next candle?
2) I also cannot get the "Exit" labels to combine into one so that the close/exit label triggers with either buyexit or sellexit.
3) I need to eliminate false triggers but using the openorders function but cannot get it to work. I think I need it to be a strategy for this to work.

This is the one that kinda works but not when the exits are combined:
AddLabel(showLabels, " BUY ", if BuySignal then Color.CYAN else Color.white);
AddLabel(showLabels, " SELL ", if SellSignal then Color.MAGENTA else Color.white);
AddLabel(showLabels, " EXIT (BUY) ", if BuyExitSignal then Color.CYAN else Color.white);
AddLabel(showLabels, " EXIT (SELL) ", if SellExitSignal then Color.MAGENTA else Color.white);

Exits combined and with open order function:
def OpenOrders = GetQuantity();
AddLabel(yes, " BUY ", if BuySignal[1] and OpenOrders < 1 then Color.CYAN else Color.white);
AddLabel(yes, " SELL ", if SellSignal[1] and OpenOrders > -1 then Color.MAGENTA else Color.white);
AddLabel(yes, " Close ", if (SellExitSignal[1] and OpenOrders > 0) or (BuyExitSignal[1] and OpenOrders > 0) then Color.YELLOW else Color.white);

Chat GPT gave me the middle finger 😝

It could just be the order you have the lines of code in.

@mashume, I noticed that you are pretty good at coding. Would you be interested in helping me complete this strategy? I finally got the labels to work but, I think it may have to be change based on what others have said.
What I am looking to accomplish is:
1) I would like the the labels to signal after the close of the buy/sell plots to confirm direction. (Right now, if a buy/sell signal flasehes but doesn't stay, the label will trigger)
2) I would like to add a filter option to keep from taking trades during chop (If possible).
3) I would like to keep a label from triggering with another buy/sell if there is a order present. similar to this strat: ( https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...le-strategy-for-thinkorswim.14072/post-117569)
4 Not sure if I need to use the add order function or not.
I have tried countless times with many failures. Here is the latest code:

Creating boolean (1/0) signals works

Code: 
def BS = if (Slow_HMA[1] <= Slow_HMA[2] and Slow_HMA > Slow_HMA[1]) then 1 else 0;
def SS= if (Slow_HMA[1] >= Slow_HMA[2] and Slow_HMA < Slow_HMA[1]) then 1 else 0;
AssignbackgroundColor(if BS then color.Dark_Green else if SS then Color.Dark_Red else color.Black);
AddLabel(yes, if BS then "UP"
else if SS then "DN"
else "  ");

Can someone please help me to get this watchlist to only show up or down within 1 bar?
I am using it to scalp 1m. so far it is working pretty well. I wait for the color change confirmation before entry and exit. So there is no way to give this a 1 bar signal and then the color assigned goes gray/black?

No, it is not possible for the Hull Concavity Script to show up or down within 1 bar given that this script uses future bars.

The whole premise of this indicator and the reason it works so well is that it calculates and confirms its signals using future bars.

This makes an excellent swing indicator, but the lag contraindicates it for scalping or short daytrading.

It is not possible to get a 1 bar signal. Scripts using future bars lag at least 2 bars before signaling.

Merry, Does this code have the Hull Concavity Script?

No it didn't. I tried using that one. This one was created from scratch. I used ChatGPT. It doesn't have the concavity you are talking about. I think. So does that make this one able to get the request I asked for?

Asking for help with this code. I cannot get a few issues to work.
1) I am trying to change the buy signal to happen right at the up/down change. Like @chewie76 has happen when his hull line changes. I can only achieve on bar beyond the color change.
2) I also would like to achieve candle color change at the same time.

Code: 
HMA_V3

input fastLength = 27;
input fastDisplace = 0;
input slowLength = 48;
input slowDisplace = 0;
input stop_horz_lines = yes;

plot Slow_HMA = MovingAverage(AverageType.HULL, close, slowLength)[-slowDisplace];

Asking for help with this code. I cannot get a few issues to work.
1) I am trying to change the buy signal to happen right at the up/down change. Like @chewie76 has happen when his hull line changes. I can only achieve on bar beyond the color change.
2) I also would like to achieve candle color change at the same time.

Code: 
HMA_V3

input fastLength = 27;
input fastDisplace = 0;
input slowLength = 48;
input slowDisplace = 0;
input stop_horz_lines = yes;

def na = Double.NaN;

plot Fast_HMA = MovingAverage(AverageType.HULL, close, fastLength)[-fastDisplace];
plot Slow_HMA = MovingAverage(AverageType.HULL, close, slowLength)[-slowDisplace];

#=========FAST LINE===========
Fast_HMA.DefineColor("Up", GetColor(1));
Fast_HMA.DefineColor("Down", GetColor(0));
Fast_HMA.AssignValueColor(if Fast_HMA > Fast_HMA[1] then Fast_HMA.Color("Up") else Fast_HMA.Color("Down"));

#=========SLOW LINE===========
Slow_HMA.DefineColor("Up", GetColor(1));
Slow_HMA.DefineColor("Down", GetColor(0));
Slow_HMA.AssignValueColor(if Slow_HMA > Slow_HMA[1] then Slow_HMA.Color("Up") else Slow_HMA.Color("Down"));

#=========PLOTS===========
plot BuySignal = if (Slow_HMA[1] <= Slow_HMA[2] and Slow_HMA > Slow_HMA[1]) then Slow_HMA else Double.NaN;
BuySignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
BuySignal.AssignValueColor(Color.CYAN);
BuySignal.SetLineWeight(3);

plot SellSignal = if (Slow_HMA[1] >= Slow_HMA[2] and Slow_HMA < Slow_HMA[1]) then Slow_HMA else Double.NaN;
SellSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
SellSignal.AssignValueColor(Color.MAGENTA);
SellSignal.SetLineWeight(3);

plot BuyExit = if (Fast_HMA[1] >= Fast_HMA[2] and Fast_HMA < Fast_HMA[1]) then Fast_HMA else Double.NaN;
BuyExit.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
BuyExit.AssignValueColor(Color.CYAN);
BuyExit.SetLineWeight(5);

plot SellExit = if (Fast_HMA[1] <= Fast_HMA[2] and Fast_HMA > Fast_HMA[1]) then Fast_HMA else Double.NaN;
SellExit.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.SQUARES);
SellExit.AssignValueColor(Color.MAGENTA);
SellExit.SetLineWeight(5);


#=========STOP LOSS LINES===========
def horzline = if IsNaN(BuyExit[1]) and !IsNaN(BuyExit) then BuyExit
 else if IsNaN(SellExit[1]) and !IsNaN(SellExit) then SellExit
 else horzline[1];

plot zhorz = if !stop_horz_lines or IsNaN(close) then na else horzline;
zhorz.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

#=========CANDLE COLOR===========
#AssignPriceColor(if close > Slow_HMA then Color.GREEN else if close < Slow_HMA then Color.RED else Color.CURRENT);

Okay. So is Chewy's using "Displace" to achieve this? I did not see that in his code, however, I may have overlooked it.

It's great to see you're interested in discussing one of @chewies's 27 amazing scripts.

To make sure we address your question accurately, could you please let us know which specific script you're referring to?
