For the backtesting and live proving of these cBots, I am utilizing IC Markets And ICTrading: Visit IC Markets Visit IC Trading

Operating Philosophy 🧠

This bot is designed for maximum efficiency and speed. It operates on the principle that the chart data provided by the platform is already in Heikin Ashi format. Instead of performing internal calculations, the bot directly reads the Open, High, Low, and Close data from the chart and acts accordingly, making it extremely responsive and lightweight.

Advantages and Potential ✨

• 🚀 Extreme Speed: The absence of complex calculations on every bar makes it one of the fastest bots for backtesting, especially over long periods.
• 🎯 Data Purity: It uses the "official" Heikin Ashi data calculated by cTrader, ensuring that what you see on the chart is exactly what the bot is analyzing.
• 🧹 Simplified Code: Its internal logic is leaner and more straightforward, making it easier to understand and modify in the future.

Requirements and Limitations ⚠️

• Mandatory Chart Type: It must be run EXCLUSIVELY on a Heikin Ashi timeframe (e.g., Heikin Ashi M5). It will not function correctly on a standard candlestick chart.
• Backtest Data: To work correctly during testing, the data mode must be set to "Tick data from server (accurate)".
