I expected the strategy to buy when the TMA line would go from grey to green and to sell when it would go from grey to red. Basically following the slope of the TMA line as I understand.
It's behaviour is different. It trades if price breaks the lines at the atr distance from the tma line.
how can I make it trade when the TMA line color changes?
thx in advance!
edit:
after looking a bit deeper into the re-draw issue, I have come to conclude that Signals from current indicator values are not reliable at all and not in line with the (redrawn) indicator on the chart (just try switching re-draw off in the indicator settings and you will see).
A solution would be a change to the underlying indicator(s)/the strategy to not use moving averages which re-paint (like the EMA used), but ones that dont. e.g.: LWMA (linear weighted moving average). The plotted curve would be a bit different, but the signals would be far more reliable.
Any thoughts on that?
