HA-MA Volatility Filter Strategy 📈💡
This indicator combines the power of Heikin-Ashi (HA) candles, Simple Moving Averages (SMA), and a Volatility Filter based on ATR to generate more accurate and profitable buy and sell signals. It has been updated and improved to take full advantage of the latest features in Pine Script v5, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
Key Updates & Improvements 🚀
Migration to Pine Script v5 🖥️
The indicator has been fully updated to the latest version of Pine Script (v5), ensuring greater compatibility, performance, and access to the newest features.
Corrected Heikin-Ashi Calculation 🔧
The ha_open calculation has been corrected to avoid declaration errors, ensuring values are updated correctly on each bar. Now, var is used to initialize ha_open, and := for recursive updates.
Volatility Filter (ATR) 🔍
A volatility filter based on Average True Range (ATR) has been added.
Buy/Sell signals are only generated if the current bar's range exceeds a multiple of the ATR, helping to avoid trades in sideways or low-volatility markets.
Confirmation with Moving Averages 📊
Buy/Sell signals require the price to be above or below the 10 and 20-period moving averages, adding an extra layer of trend confirmation.
Improved Visualization 🎨
Buy/Sell signals are displayed with clear BUY/SELL labels on the chart.
Moving averages are plotted with distinctive colors for easy identification.
The chart background changes color (green/red) based on the current trend.
Customizable Alerts 🔔
Alerts for buy and sell signals have been added, enabling traders to act quickly when signals are triggered.
