I wanted to create the strategy with acceleration bands

Buy rule: 2 closes above the upper acceleration band with williams % R at or less than 20

Sell rule: when the close is below the lower acceleration band.

Also wanted help to create the Heikin Ashi candlestick chart. I downloaded the oscillator but wanted to create the chart. Is it possible. Thanks alot.

No problem. The rules are very simple and can be easily implemented with the Rule wizard.

Try searching the forum. This question gets raised every once in a while.

Take a look in the tutorial videos, the link that I posted above. This basic and frequently asked question is illustrated in one of them (pls don't ask me which one three years since their creation).

A page is dedicated to it exclusively in the Wealth-Lab User Guide: Strategy Window > Strategy Builder > General Rules.

As you can see, reviewing the manuals and tutorial videos could help you get an answer to a basic question like this.

A content search for "heikin ashi" w/o any extra strings (the less extra words the less is the chance of error) would reveal a number of H-A forum posts, WL6 code examples, and probably even mentions of a code snippet in the QuickRef that is used to plot H-A (hint: browse under the Bars object).

Thanks Eugene. I figured out the first one.I am a new user and its too much information about software that i am learning so its taking time to learn.

I still need help for my second question i entered the following but getting some error. i am not a programmer so i dont understand what to change.

OK, this is a broken mix of HACO and the QuickRef snippet. Let's set it straight; below is a readymade example. Copy and paste it into a new strategy, overwriting the default contents. Make sure you have "C:\temp" on your drive or edit the path in the code --
