Heiken Ashi Smoothed

[ALBER]

Hello , I am developing a simple strategy that buys or sells when, after a series
of Heiken Ashi bars with the same color it appears a bar with the opposite color. To identify the up and down bars in Heiken Ashi it is very simple:
-up bars
HeikenAshi().HAOpen[0] <= HeikenAshi().HAClose[0]
-down bars
HeikenAshi().HAOpen[0] >= HeikenAshi().HAClose[0]

the problem it is that this strategy it works better with the indicator Heiken Ashi Smoothed than with Heiken Ashi and I don´t know how to identify the up and down bars with the indicator Heiken Ashi Smoothed

Any help to identify this up and down bars?

Thanks

Hello ALBER,
Thanks for your note.

Please try using the below code to compare the values.

if (this.HeikenAshiSmoothed(.7, HAMA.SMA, HAMA.SMMA, 1, 2).HAOpen[0] > this.HeikenAshiSmoothed(.7, HAMA.SMA, HAMA.SMMA, 1, 2).HAClose[0])
{
  //do something
}

Hi Support,

Is there a way to sync the HASmoothed indicator with another indicator and not with the price?It happens so,when i try to smooth Heiken Ashi indicator the other indicators comply with the price,and the HA becomes out of sync.Can somen please help me with that one?

Thanks

Hello SnakeEye,

Thank you for your post.

Are you looking to use another indicator as the input for the HeikenAshiSmoothed or HeikenAshi indicator?

Can you provide a screenshot of the HeikenAshi getting out of sync?

I look forward to your response.

Hi Patrick,correct,i want the indicator(see the attached) get the alerts from HeikenAshiSmoothed indicator,not from the price.Seems like some of other indicators work well,but the one i want,doesnt.

You just need to make substitutions, whether by first assigning HA values to variables or directly.

Where you have Open[0], you substitute HeikenAshiSmoothed(.7, HAMA.SMA, HAMA.SMMA, 1, 2).HAOpen[0]

and so on for High[0], Close[0]. Low[0].

If you prefer, assign those HA values to other variables, then use the variables for the substitution, as that is often easier to read later. So, for example.

double open = HeikenAshiSmoothed(.7, HAMA.SMA, HAMA.SMMA, 1, 2).HAOpen[0];

Then wherever in the code there is Open[0], you use open instead.

The indicator that you attached was called ShortTermSwings.cs, so I would assume that you are trying to drive this indicator from the HA indicator. Did I misunderstand that?

If I understood that correctly, I should think that makes it rather obvious that the indicator you need to edit is the target indicator, not the source. If I misunderstood, then I apologize for misleading you, and I cannot think of a simple solution.

You are correct.I want the ShortTermSwing indicator to derive the alert signals from the HeikenAshiSmoothed indicator.It doesnt work by simply putting it via Input Series.It becomes totaly out of whack.

Then edit the correct indicator, ShortTermSwing, to take its input from the HA, as per the instructions that I already posted.

With regard to the "ShortTermSwings.cs" code of the Post #6, could someone please show me which terms must be compared to see when the up-line becomes a down-line or viceversa ?

I tried with ShortTermSwings().Trend[0], namely

• if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] < 0)

to look for the down-line, and

• if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] > 0)

for the up-line, but this doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

Smooth Heiken Crossover.

Hello, I am trying to create a simple strategy w/ the wizard using a crossover of the linear regression and the smoothed Heiken Ashi indicator. For some reason, the Heiken Ashi also appears to be out of whack when I plot it in the backtester chart. I may not understand the inputs for the calculation of the Smooth Heiken Ashi indicator. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
