Optimized Heikin Ashi Strategy with Buy/Sell OptionsStrategy Name:
Optimized Heikin Ashi Strategy with Buy/Sell Options
Description:
The Optimized Heikin Ashi Strategy is a trend-following strategy designed to capitalize on market trends by utilizing the smoothness of Heikin Ashi candles. This strategy provides flexible options for trading, allowing users to choose between Buy Only (long-only), Sell Only (short-only), or using both in alternating conditions based on the Heikin Ashi candle signals. The strategy works on any market, but it performs especially well in markets where trends are prevalent, such as cryptocurrency or Forex.
This script offers customizable parameters for the backtest period, Heikin Ashi timeframe, stop loss, and take profit levels, allowing traders to optimize the strategy for their preferred markets or assets.
Key Features:
Trade Type Options:
Buy Only: Enter a long position when a green Heikin Ashi candle appears and exit when a red candle appears.
Sell Only: Enter a short position when a red Heikin Ashi candle appears and exit when a green candle appears.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Customizable stop loss and take profit percentages allow for flexible risk management.
The default stop loss is set to 2%, and the default take profit is set to 4%, maintaining a favorable risk/reward ratio.
Heikin Ashi Timeframe:
Traders can select the desired timeframe for Heikin Ashi candle calculation (e.g., 4-hour Heikin Ashi candles for a 1-hour chart).
The strategy smooths out price action and reduces noise, providing clearer signals for entry and exit.
Inputs:
Backtest Start Date / End Date: Specify the period for testing the strategy’s performance.
Heikin Ashi Timeframe: Select the timeframe for Heikin Ashi candle generation. A higher timeframe helps smooth the trend, which is beneficial for trading lower timeframes.
Stop Loss (in %) and Take Profit (in %): Enable or disable stop loss and take profit, and adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Trade Type: Choose between Buy Only or Sell Only based on your market outlook and strategy preference.
Strategy Performance:
In testing with BTC/USD, this strategy performed well in a 4-hour Heikin Ashi timeframe applied on a 1-hour chart over a period from January 1, 2024, to September 12, 2024. The results were as follows:
Initial Capital: 1 USD
Order Size: 100% of equity
Net Profit: +30.74 USD (3,073.52% return)
Percent Profitable: 78.28% of trades were winners.
Profit Factor: 15.825, indicating that the strategy's profitable trades far outweighed its losses.
Max Drawdown: 4.21%, showing low risk exposure relative to the large profit potential.
This strategy is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders who are looking to follow trends and avoid market noise by using Heikin Ashi candles. It is also well-suited for traders who prefer automated risk management through the use of stop loss and take profit levels.
Recommended Use:
Best Markets: This strategy works well on trending markets like cryptocurrency, Forex, or indices.
Timeframes: Works best when applied to lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour chart) with a higher Heikin Ashi timeframe (e.g., 4-hour candles) to smooth out price action.
Leverage: The strategy performs well with leverage, but users should consider using 2x to 3x leverage to avoid excessive risk and potential liquidation. The strategy's low drawdown allows for moderate leverage use while maintaining risk control.
Customization: Traders can adjust the stop loss and take profit percentages based on their risk appetite and market conditions. A default setting of a 2% stop loss and 4% take profit provides a balanced risk/reward ratio.
Notes:
Risk Management: Traders should enable stop loss and take profit settings to maintain effective risk management and prevent large drawdowns during volatile market conditions.
Optimization: This strategy can be further optimized by adjusting the Heikin Ashi timeframe and risk parameters based on specific market conditions and assets.
Backtesting: The built-in backtesting functionality allows traders to test the strategy across different market conditions and historical data to ensure robustness before applying it to live trading.
How to Apply:
Select your preferred market and chart.
Choose the appropriate Heikin Ashi timeframe based on the chart's timeframe. (e.g., use 4-hour Heikin Ashi candles for 1-hour chart trends).
Adjust stop loss and take profit based on your risk management preference.
Run backtesting to evaluate its performance before applying it in live trading.
This strategy can be further modified and optimized based on personal trading style and market conditions. It’s important to monitor performance regularly and adjust settings as needed to align with market behavior.
Ashi
Heikin Ashi SupertrendAbout this Strategy
This supertrend strategy uses the Heikin Ashi candles to generate the supertrend but enters and exits trades using normal candle close prices. If you use the standard built in Supertrend indicator on Heikin Ashi candles, it will produce very unrealistic backtesting results because it uses the Heikin Ashi prices instead of the real prices. However, by signaling the supertrend reversals using Heikin Ashi while using standard candle close prices for the entries and exits, it corrects the backtesting errors and gives you a more realistic equity curve. You should set the chart to use standard candles and then hide them (the strategy creates the candles).
This strategy includes:
Plotting of Heikin Ashi candles
Heikin Ashi Supertrend
Long and Short Entry Signals
Move stop loss after trade is X% in profit
Profit Target
Stop Loss
Built in Alertatron automation
Alertatron Trade Automation Integration
For Alertatron integration, be sure to configure the strategy settings and "Enable Webhook Messages" before creating an alert with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the body of your alert message. Be sure to enable webhooks and point it to your Incoming Alertatron webhook URL.
Notes
While this strategy does pretty well during trending markets, It's worth noting that the Buy and Hold ROI is much better during peak times of the bull market
Not financial advice. Do not risk more than you can afford to lose.
Heikin Ashi - The WhaleThe strategy is based on Heikin Ashi calculation, you do not need to switch the candle to HA.
The HA is used as a base entry, if a candle or two candles are bullish, then is valid to open a position, you can select the validation, one or two candles.
Also, the strategy mainly uses volume indicators as a confluence, you can select VWAP , VWMA , and Volume Oscillator, in addition to ADX which has two ways to validate the entry.
Base entry: One or two bullish HA candles (candles without a lower wick)
Confluence Indicators:
ADX: Will give a positive signal only if ADX is above the threshold, or if +DI is above -DI, or both.
VWAP: will give a positive signal if HA close is above VWAP.
VWMA: composite of 3 MA (20, 25, 50). There are multiple options to set it as confluence, the first option is to check if the short is bigger than the long and long is bigger than the base. The other options are to check the close status, which is bigger than which MA. You can find the description of each option in the strategy box
The sell is based on trailing stop loss (TSL), while the stop loss is based lowest X candle, the strategy will look back to the lowest number of the HA candles and set it as stop loss.
Smoothed Heikin Ashi Trend on Chart - TraderHalai BACKTESTSmoothed Heikin Ashi Trend on chart - Backtest
This is a backtest of the Smoothed Heikin Ashi Trend indicator, which computes the reverse candle close price required to flip a Heikin Ashi trend from red to green and vice versa. The original indicator can be found in the scripts section of my profile.
This particular back test uses this indicator with a Trend following paradigm with a percentage-based stop loss.
Note, that backtesting performance is not always indicative of future performance, but it does provide some basis for further development and walk-forward / live testing.
Testing was performed on Bitcoin , as this is a primary target market for me to use this kind of strategy.

Average Time for Win: 85 days
Analysis:
The strategy is typical amongst trend following strategies with a less regular win rate, but where profits are more significant than losses. Most of the losses are in sideways, low volatility markets. This strategy performs better on higher timeframes, where it shows a positive expectancy of the strategy.
The average win was positively impacted by Bitcoin’s earlier smaller market cap, as the percentage wins earlier were higher.
Overall the strategy shows potential for further development and may be suitable for walk-forward testing and out of sample analysis to be considered for a demo trading account.
Note in an actual trading setup, you may wish to use this with volatility filters, combined with support resistance zones for a better setup.
As always, this post/indicator/strategy is not financial advice, and please do your due diligence before trading this live.

Update - 27/06/2022
Unfortunately, It appears that the original script had been taken down due to auto-moderation because of concerns with no slippage / commission. I have since adjusted the backtest, and re-uploaded to include the following to address these concerns, and show that I am genuinely trying to give back to the community and not mislead anyone:
1) Include commission of 0.1% - to match Binance's maker fees prior to moving to a fee-less model.
2) Include slippage of 10 ticks (This is a realistic slippage figure from searching online for most crypto exchanges)
3) Adjust account balance to 10,000 - since most of us are not millionaires.
The rest of the backtesting parameters are comparable to previous results:
Backtesting parameters:
Initial capital: 10000 dollars
Position size: 10% of equity
Long stop: 2% below entry
Short stop: 2% above entry
Repainting: Off

HARSI - The WHALE v2This strategy is credited to the "Heikin Ashi RSI Oscillator" By JayRogers.
The core of this strategy is "Heikin Ashi RSI Oscillator (HARSI)" By JayRogers, with multiple confirmation indicators. The buy signal is generated by HARSI when there is green HA, and there is a positive stochastic cross under the line OB line.
To confirm the buys signal, you can use one or all of the following:
- EMA: the buy confirmation is positive if the candle closes above the EMA.
- Volume Oscillator: the buy confirmation is positive if the volume value is above the zero line.
- ADX: the buy confirmation is positive if the D+ is above the D- and the D+ is above the threshold level.
- Vortex: the buy confirmation is positive if VI+ is above VI-.
You can enable the take profit, trailing stop loss (TSL), and stop lose (SL), if not, then the strategy will give a sell signal by itself when there is a negative stochastic cross above OB Extreme line.
Note, that the TSL arming value should be lower than the TSL %.
The strategy can give a different result based on your selection. However, the best timeframe is 4 hours without TP.
Heikin Ashi EMA v5 no repaint This script was inspired by the "Heikin/Kaufman Strategy" from marco valente built on v2.
The script was rebuilt on the v5 and most importantly removed the repaint function that was driving surrealistic backtesting inflated numbers.
This script is now fully functional and not repainting - At the time of testing worked efficiently 90% WR and 2x profit factor on CFD WTI OIL with a 15m time frame indexed on forex.com price.
You should utilize this script with caution, especially on high volatility cycles you can try plotting against a volatility relative index or stop.
I also strongly recommend understanding the fundamentals of WTI OIL to balance the indications of the strategy with fundamentals.
Thanks to Clovis Warlop and Nilesh Sharma for their contribution.

NSDT HAMA Candles STRATThis is a STRATEGY based on our popular HAMA Candles Indicator.
It is an "Always On" strategy, meaning it will stay in a Long position until the Short criteria shows up, and then it will close the Long position and immediately enter a Short position.
Since this is a strategy, we added a few more components. The most notable one is the grid at the top right that shows the statistics of whatever the current settings are. The user can change the MA lengths and see the potential results update in real time.
Since this is Always On and uses Moving Averages, we added an ADX setting to help filter our trades in a ranging/choppy market.
The settings will need to be adjusted to find the best fit for your instrument, chart time, and risk management plan.

Past performance does not indicate future performance and you should not assume it does.
Backtesting assumes you never miss-fire, that you get in and out at the exactly perfect moment each time.
Backtesting assumes you have perfect liquidity, and your limit orders fill at a specific, pre-defined price every time (either the open, close, low, high, or some average of these).

Its components are:
RSI
ICHIMOKU full pack
Heikin Ashi candles for logic calculation inside
Rules for entry.
For long : we have a long cross condition on ichimoku and price is above the ichimoku lines, and at the same time RSI value is > 50.

Hi-Lo Channel StrategyHaven't seen a strategy quite like it. Buy when Heikin Ashi candle closes above a moving average that is sourced on highs - Sell when Heikin Ashi candle closes above a moving average that is sourced on lows. Moving average length should be between 5 and 20 ideally.
NOTE: the Heikin Ashi close values are calculated when the box is checkmarked. You do not need to view the chart with Heikin Ashi candles enabled on the chart. The buy and sell points of the strategy do not change whether or not you are viewing Heikin Ashi candles on the chart as long as the Heikin Ashi setting is enabled.

For short: when we have a short candle and previous cande was green.
For the better function of this strategy, is best to use big timeframes like 12h or 1day or even higher than that.

Heatmap - Multi-Timeframe Indicators - StrategyHeatmap - Multi-Timeframe Indicators - Strategy
▪ Main features :
- 19 Timeframes: 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 45m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 1D, 1W, 1M
- 6 indicators per timeframe
- choose specific timeframes for indicators (example - 1 hour)
- or choose specific timeframe ranges (example - 1 hour to 1 month)
The general idea is that the higher timeframe signals are stronger than the lower timeframe ones.
When a trend is starting, it is first visible on the lower timeframes.
The more time passes, the more the trend propagates through higher timeframes.
The default settings are meant to show all the available features. You may fine-tune it to your specific needs.
How to choose the timeframe for the chart : use the lowest of the choosen timeframes for indicators.
If the heatmap doesn't display correctly on your device, you may check the Heatmap Theme 🎨 setting.
It doesn't repaint.
"Repaint" version available though - good to check the past history, but very bad for real-time analysis.
▪ Indicators used for trend detection
1. MACD Cross
2. Stochastic Cross
3. Stochastic Cross and Overbought or Oversold
4. Moving Average
5. Parabolic SAR
6. Heikin Ashi
▪ Find the best Heatmap settings with the Strategy Tester version.
The signals generated by the Heatmap are considered to be valid at the bar open .
The Strategy Tester, however, uses the bar close in its calculations.
Therefore, the results may seem to be worse than they can be.
The Profitability, Profit Factor and other stats should be taken into consideration relatively to other configurations of the same Heatmap.
▪ Using a score system to consider a change in trend valid.
Example: consider the signal valid if 65% or more of all indicators (max 6) among all timeframes (max 19) hint at a change in trend.
The % percent value can be inserted in settings.
When using the default settings or when all timeframes and indicators are activated,
the ratio of 100% downtrend or 100% uptrend may be less occuring. Adjust accordingly.
The signals across timeframes and indicators are aggregated to show simple entry and exit signals.
▪ Combined Alerts, to be set to fire once per bar open :
0 - 📈 Long! - Heatmap - Multi-TFI
0 - 📈 Short! - Heatmap - Multi-TFI
0 - 📈 Long Exit! - Heatmap - Multi-TFI
0 - 📈 Short Exit! - Heatmap - Multi-TFI
1 *** BUY or SELL (single alert) ***
1 *** Entries or Exits (single alert) ***
▪ Note : The initial load may be slow. If something doesn't seem to work, you can try the following:
- wait more time for it to load
- hide & show or remove & add back to chart
- don't add the indicator to chart multiple times in a short amount of time, as you may be rate limited

Heikin-Ashi MACD"Heikin-Ashi, also sometimes spelled Heiken-Ashi, means "average bar" in Japanese. The Heikin-Ashi technique can be used in conjunction with candlestick charts when trading securities to spot market trends and predict future prices. It's useful for making candlestick charts more readable and trends easier to analyze. For example, traders can use Heikin-Ashi charts to know when to stay in trades while a trend persists but get out when the trend pauses or reverses. Most profits are generated when markets are trending, so predicting trends correctly is necessary."
HA bars help us to smooth the price action, and I think MACD gives me a lot of signals and I need to eliminate them and add MACD strategy on Heiken-Ashi candles to look performance.
Mostly, it eliminates %75 of the signals, and most of the time it did increase backtest performance significantly.
There is still a way to it to combine other indicators for complete strategy, but at least We can achieve better MACD with this approach.
Heikin-Ashi Change Strategy/ Indicator
Today I bring you a simple and efficient indicator/strategy based only on HA.
Can be used together with other TA tools or alone.
The idea behind is simple :
We have to forms to calculate the candle, using inner HA candles or normal candles. Once we have that we apply certain rules to get the max high, min low, open and close(ohlc)
With that then we check for changing in the patters like for example
For long close is higher than open and the previos close is lower than open. For short is going to be the opposite of long condition.
For the purpose of this example, I only use long direction and exit once we have the short signal.

HEINKI ASHI SUPERTRENDHi friends....publishing Heikin ashi supertrend strategy... which shows the movement of price over time and how strong those movements are/will be, regardless of the direction the price moves, up, or down. Indicator specifically useful, as it helps traders and analysts spot points where the market can and will reverse by providing signals long (buy) and short (sell). Show the relative strength of price movements but leave out the directionality of the price movements, best utilized in combination with other technical indicators – such as trend lines and moving averages – which show price trends and directions. Having an alert feature to make aware market players from signals provided by strategy.
HA charts are a great way to help those who can be spooked by the chaos of the markets (I'm one!), but they have a big drawback in that the price you see on a HA candle is often significantly different from the real price that you would trade on. This brings issues of unrealistic expectations of profits/losses, and also makes back testing a strategy very difficult. I still wouldn't recommend ever using TradingView's "strategy" tool when using HA charts, but using this indicator you can do accurate back tests.

some tips for new traders to become successful trader
1: always follow risk management...
2: every stock/ forex / crypto has it own cycle.. So pls dont jump from one stock / forex pair to another when u hear some stock / crypto has

MavilimW Strategy MTF EMA with HA CandlesThis is a strategy adapted initially for Mavilim moving average indicator, based on WMA MA.
It seems to works amazingly on long term markets, like stocks, some futures, some comodities and so on.
In this strategy, I form initially the candle, using EMA values, so I take the EMA of last 50 closes, open, highs and lows and form the candle
After this I take interally HA and convert the EMA candle to HA.
Then using the moving averages on multiple timeframes, like in this example we have a chart on 4h, but I use 1h and 1d moving averages.
For long condition we have : close is above moving average timeframe1 and oving average timeframe2 and oving average timeframe3
Initially short would be close below ma timeframe1, ma timeframe2 and timeframe3 -> but here I also convert it into a long signal.
So we actually go only long .
And we have 2 different exits : for first long if we have a crossdown of 1h ma with 1 day ma, and for second long if we have a cross up of 1h ma with 1 day ma in this example.
Message me if you have any questions about this strategy.
Heiken Ashi MTF Strategy- IndicatorHello, this is both a strategy and indicator that revolves around Heikin Ashi candles.
In this case we take 3 different time frames, in this example we use daily , weekly and monthly.
The conditions for entry are :
For long : we check that we have a green daily candle, at the same time we check that the weekly and monthly candles are also green.
For short : We check that all candles, daily, weekly and monthly and red.
For exit of long : as soon as 1 of the 3 candles, daily or weekly or monthly converts to red, we exit.
For exit of short : as soon as 1 of the 3 candles converts to green, we exit.
This strategy- indicator can be adapted to any type of market.
CRYPTO HA Strategy money maker long termToday I bring you another amazing strategy.
Its made of 2 EMA in this case 50 and 100.
At the same time, internaly for candles we calculate the candles using the HA system ( while still using in live the normal candles). This way we can assure that even if we use HA candles, we avoid repainting, and its legit.
We first calculate the HA candles based on the EMA 50 values, and after that , we use that candle properties to apply to EMA 100.
Once we have that, for entries we have the next conditions :
sell = o2 > c2 and o2 < c2 and time_cond
buy = o2 < c2 and o2 > c2 and time_cond
For sell : Our open from HA 100 is bigger than Close from ha 100, and the previous open is smaller than previous close
For long : Our open from ha 100 is smaller than close from ha 100 and the previous open is bigger than previous close.
Then we have 2 options :
If we wnat to go only long , which is my prefered version ,or the original one where we go both long and short.
I found that the best results are in general around bigger timeframes, 1h+ , 3h works the best so far on my tests.
For exit we have 2 versions :
1 lets say we had a long signal, as soon as we have a short signal we close the trade. Viceversa for short.
2. Is based on price % movement. In this case I use 7.5% price movement of asset.
We have no TP in use for this system.
For the purpose of this test I use 10.000 $ account. For test I use 100% of it, without any leverage.
I use the SL based on price movement , which is a very risky tool, since it can fluctuate even at 20-30% of our capital.
For comission I used 0.1% for each deal, and a slippage of 5 points.
Be cautious with this system !

Nemeth is a forex trader that came up with a multi-time frame heiken ashi based strategy that he showed to an older audience crowd on a speaking event video. He seems to boast about his strategy having high success results and makes an astonishing claim that looking at heiken ashi bars instead of regular candlestick bar charts can show the direction of the trend better and simpler than many other slower non-price based indicators. He says pretty much every indicator is about the same and the most important indicator is price itself. He is pessimistic about the markets and seems to think it is rigged and there is a sort of cabal that created rules to favor themselves, such as the inability of traders to hedge in one broker account, and that to win you have to take advantage of the statistics involved in the game. He believes fundamentals, chart patterns such as cup and handle and head and shoulders, and fibonacci numbers don't matter, only price matters. The foundation of his trading strategy is based around heiken ashi bars because they show a statistical pattern that can supposedly be taken advantage of by them repeating around seventy or so percent of the time, and then combines this idea with others based on the lower time frames involved.
The first step he uses is to identify the trend direction in the higher time frame(daily or 4 hourly) using the color of the heiken ashi bar itself. If it is green then take only long position after the bar completes, if it is red then take only short position. Next, on a lower time frame(1 hour or 30 minutes) look for the slope of the 20 exponential moving average to be sloping upward if going long or the slope of the ema to be sloping downward if going short(the price being above the moving average can work too if it's too hard to visualize the slope). Then look for the last heiken ashi bar, similarly to the first step, if it is green take long position, if it is red take short position. Finally the entry indicator itself will decide the entry on the lowest time frame. Nemeth recommends using MACD or CCI or possibly combine the two indicators on a 5 min or 15 min or so time frame if one does not have access to renko or range bars. If renko bars are available, then he recommends a 5 or 10 tick bar for the size(although I'm not sure if it's really possible to remove the time frame from renko bars or if 5 or 10 ticks is universal enough for everything). The idea is that renko bars paint a bar when there is price movement and it's important to have movement in the market, plus it's a simple indicator to use visually. The exit strategy is when the renko or the lowest time frame indicator used gives off an exit signal or if the above conditions of the higher time frames are not being met(he was a bit vague on this). Enter trades with only one-fifth of your capital because the other fifths will be used in case the trades go against you by applying a hedging technique he calls "zero zone recovery". He is somewhat vague about the full workings(perhaps because he uses his own software to automate his strategy) but the idea is that the second fifth will be used to hedge a trade that isn't going well after following the above, and the other fifths will be used to enter on another entry condition or if the other hedges fail also. Supposedly this helps the trader always come out with a profit in a sort of bushido-like trading tactic of never accepting defeat. Some critics argue that this is simply a ploy by software automation to boost their trade wins or to sell their product. The other argument against this strategy is that trading while the heiken ashi bar has not completed yet can jack up the backtest results, but when it comes to trading in real time, the strategy can end up repainting, so who knows if Nemeth isn't involving repainting or not, however he does mention the trades are upon completion of the bar(it came from an audience member's question). Lastly, the 3 time frames in ascending or descending fashion seem to be spaced out by about factors of 4 if you want to trade other time frames other than 5/15min,30min/1hour, or 4hour/daily(he mentioned the higher time frame should be atleast a dozen times higher than the lower time frame).
Personally I have not had luck getting the seventy+ percent accuracy that he talks about, whether in forex or other things. I made the default on renko bars to an ATR size 1 setting because it looks like the most universal option if the traditional mode box size is too hard to guess, and I made it so that you can switch between ATR and Traditional mode just in case. I don't think the strategy repaints because I think TV set a default on the multi-time frame aspects of their code to not re-paint, but I could be wrong so you might want to watch out for that. The zero zone recovery technique is included in the code but I commented it out and/or remove it because TV does not let you apply hedging properly, as far as I know. If you do use a proper hedging strategy with this, you'll find a very interesting bushido type of trading style involved with the Japanese bars that can boost profits and win rates of around possibly atleast seventy percent on every trade but unfortunately I was not able to test this part out properly because of the limitation on hedging here, and who knows if the hedging part isn't just a plot to sell his product. If his strategy does involve the repainting feature of the heiken ashi bars then it's possible he might have been preaching fools-gold but it's hard to say because he did mention it is upon completion of the bars. If you find out if this strategy works or doesn't work or find out a good setting that I somehow didn't catch, please feel free to let me know, will gladly appreciate it.

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.
