Pine script - strategy entry using heikin ashi but strategy tester uses the real price not ha bar open

Question

So the following code in Pine-script on TradingView uses the Heikin-Ashi candle-bar open price instead of the actual real open in the strategy tester panel.

Is there a way to get the strategy tester to use the real price?

This link explains the issue further.

//@version=2
strategy("haup", overlay=true)

cci20 = cci(close, 20)
sma10 = sma(close, 10)
source = close
sourcea = open

haclose = (open + high + low + close) / 4
haopen = na(haopen[1]) ? (open + close) / 2 : (haopen[1] + haclose[1]) / 2

fromYear = year > 2016
toYear = year < 2019

longCondition = haopen < haclose
if (longCondition and fromYear and toYear)
    strategy.entry("Long 1", strategy.long)

closeCondition = haopen > haclose
if (closeCondition)
    strategy.close("Long 1")

Answer 1

You can do this two ways:

1. Use regular candles for strategy back-test and pull HA candles value via code for indicator.
2. Usa HA candles for indicator and pull regular candles values via code, but you need to tell exact price to strategy back-test entries and exits.

So I suggest using option (1).

Use this code to pull open/close/high/low of HA candles for your indicator.

openHA  = security(heikinashi(tickerid), period, open)
closeHA = security(heikinashi(tickerid), period, close)
highHA  = security(heikinashi(tickerid), period, high)
lowHA  = security(heikinashi(tickerid), period, low)
