I am a big fan of Heiken Ashi charting and volatility stops.  I notice that when a chart is changed from candles to H-A plotting, the value of the volatility stop also changes.  I would expect this since the actual values and H-A price points are different. This indicates to me that the H-A values are being used to calculate the volatility stop.   However, when I try to create a condition between H-A price points and the associated volatility stops (e.g. H-A close crossing up through a volatility stop), the  easy scan appears to be using actual price and associated volatility stop, not the H-A associated values.  Is there anything I can do to use H-A values crossing through H-A derived volatility stops?

Thank you for reporting the issue. I can verify the behavior as a bug.

Unfortunately, I do not have a workaround. While it is possible to replicate the open, high, low and close of the Heiken Ashi candles using the Personal Criteria Formula Language, it is not possible to replicate the Volatility Stop indicator.

Thanks, Bruce.  Hopefully, the bug fix is relatively easy and will be corrected.
