Updates to the HeikenAshi8 indicator

[gubbar924]

I was just playing around with the HeikenAshi8 indicator script and ended up making some updates.

The original script can be found here:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...php?linkid=730


Updates I've made:

1) Added option to break on start of new session (allows opening gaps)
2) Added option to use the up/down bar colors already being used on the chart (As well as the shadow/wick width)
3) Price values are now rounded to the nearest tick value. (more accurate for strategies etc)
4) Fixed horizontal alignment of wicks so that they're centered better

Hello gubbar924,

Thank you for your post and contribution to the community.

I suggest that you add your contribution to the file sharing area and change the name to make it unique (for example HeikenAshi8gubbar) so that users can have the option to use either indicator as they see fit.

Ok, I'll get it done, thanks

** EDIT **
I've made a couple of bug fixes since I first uploaded this version of HeikenAshi8
the new file can be downloaded here:

Hello, gubbar924!

Could you re-upload the file and update downloading link, please?

[Botan626]

Or maybe anybody else could reupload the file?

The links above lead to nothing.

The Heiken Ashi 8 version found here:

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/heiken-ashi-8/

is from 4-27-18.

Hello, gubbar924.

Thank you for sending me updated version of HeikenAshi8 indicator.

I tried it out, but:

1. When I set "Break on new session" to true indicator doesn't plot HeikenAshi candles at all.

2. Wicks are not centered.


Could you by any chance add separate inputs for shadow colors for bull and bear candles?

[gubbar924]

Hi Botan626,

Please see the attached images, I was not able to reproduce either of those scenarios.

As per your request, the script has been updated so that it allows you to select the wick/shadow colors based on bullish/bearish candles.
The option to change the candle outline color has also been added.

The script has been submitted to the App Submission section and is awaiting a green light from the NT support team.

Hello, gubbar924.

Thanks for the updates to indicator.

Break at EOD was off in Data Series, that's why indicator didn't plot HeikenAshi candles when Break on new session was on.

But my wicks are still not centered. Any thoughts on what could be the problem?

[Botan626]

No, setting "Break at EOD" on doesn't help either.

[Botan626]

Hello again, gubbar924.

I fresh installed NT8 and the modified version of indicator, but still:

1. Indicator doesn't plot candles at all if "Break on new session" is on,

2. Wicks are not centered.

Could you investigate this, please?

[Botan626]

Also some candles with really small bodies are not plotted at all.
