The best Heiken Ashi implementation I have seen!!!

[davidt07]

Hi I am looking at the original code of the Heiken Ashi Smooth from MetaTrader and noticed that they have 4 Moving Averages Method Types,

//ma_method Moving Average methods enumerations
//MODE_SMA 0 Simple moving average,
//MODE_EMA 1 Exponential moving average,
//MODE_SMMA 2 Smoothed moving average,
//MODE_LWMA 3 Linear weighted moving average.

And so I am carefully taking apart the Ninja Trader 7 Heiken Ashi Smooth code that was so kindly done (Thank you) and noticed that I am not seeing moving average type 3, Linear Weighted Moving Average.

Am I missing something or is that represented with a different name?

Also, as I am still very new to Ninja Trader 7 coding, could someone give me a hand with commenting this Heiken Ashi Smooth code? I have problems with understanding the second section

if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
Values[0].Set(0);
Values[1].Set(0);
Values[2].Set(0);
Values[3].Set(0);

ExtMapBuffer5.Set(Open[0]);
ExtMapBuffer6.Set(Close[0]);
ExtMapBuffer7.Set(High[0]);
ExtMapBuffer8.Set(Low[0]);
return;
}

etc.. ???

Thanks

David

Has this Heiken Ashi been converted to NT 8 yet? Any link would be helpful.

Thanks!

The Heiken Ashi is available in NinjaTrader 8 as a Bars Type and in NinjaTrader 7 as an indicator.

There is in fact a NinjaTrader 8 indicator version as well at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=7&linkid=730

For those that know how to convert MetaTrader indicators to NT I think this one is DEFINITELY worth it.

Although a proper conversion about would be optimal, found very little side effects I'd like to mention phenq GNC discounts in this that the T3 slope value (positive/negative) gets really close to this as does MACD using 5,13 with a smooth of 1. When the plot is above zero to on this phenq blog the bar is blue, when below its red etc..

Just what I needed. Thank you so much for youe share, going to try it just now.
