Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks are similar to normal Japanese candlesticks but with a few differences to eliminate some of the noise. Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks combine the open-close prices from the previous period with the open-high-low-close data from the current period to create a new candlestick chart type. By combining the two together the new candlestick chart is able to filter out some of the noise present in the price. Heikin-Ashi candlestick can be used to quickly identify periods of trend and potential points of reversal.

Do you have Metastock formula?

4. administrator

This can’t be coded in Metastock. Metastock does not allow one to create custom charts.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE CANDLE TO PLOT INTRADAY HIGH AND LOW IN A DIFFERENT COLOR OTHER THAN GREEN OR RED, SO THAT IT IS EASY TO SPOT WHEN INTRADAY HIGH AND LOW WAS FORMED.THANKS

Heikin-Ashi is great tool, if the trend is your friend then get this indicator. They bring youthful energy to old good candlesticks.

Good one..Go on with this kind of Indicators

Heiken Ashi is a good and powerful indicator. To use it, you can try as I suggest.

1. When the trend is up, focus on candle’s body. I usually ignore the shadow since the body will give more informations. Whenever the body become smaller, it indicates weakening.

2. When the trend is down, focus on the candle’s shadow. I usually ignore the body since the shadow will give more informations. Whenever the shadow become longer, it indicates 2 signal : continuation or reversal.

Combine it with your other favorit indicator to get the best result. Hope this can be helpful.

FYI, don’t bother to consider Heiken Ashi as Japanese Candlestick because both works in quite different ways.

Histup= Hist>Ref(Hist,-1) ;
HAup= HaClose>=HaOpen ;

//======================================================================

//PARAMTOGGLE

//function ParamOptimize( description, default, minv, maxv, step )
//    { return Optimize(description, Param(description,default, minv, maxv, step ), minv, maxv, step ); }
tgl = ParamToggle("Result", "AND logic|Compare");
// switch test calculation and compare the results
if(tgl)
{
myBuy = BuyHa AND macdup AND histup AND stochup ;           
myShort = SellHa AND !histup AND !stochup ;            
}
else
{
myBuy   = IIf( HaClose>=HaOpen AND MACD()>Signal() AND Hist>Ref(Hist,-1) AND StochK()>StochD()      ,1,0) ;                                                                       
myShort = IIf( HaClose<HaOpen  AND Hist<Ref(Hist,-1) AND StochK()<StochD()     ,1,0);
} 

Buy = ExRem(mybuy,myshort);

Has anyone bought the CD “Heiken-Ashi How to trade without Candlestick Patterns” from this site:
http://www.educofin.com/index.html

If so is it worth it?

Thnx

Marty

HI

I added the buy and sell formula, but it gives error on lin3 35 Col 64.
Saying that Variable hihigh used without having been initialized.

Please acknowledge.

Thanks
Prakash Modak

22. prakashmodak

Please ignore previous comment, now its working fine. I have just changed the variable same as (hiHigh to HiHigh) which you have assigned in main code.

can you help me in another logic? need help in designing AFL based on AROON.
please contact on prakash.modak65[at}gmail{dot]com

add this to your code:

HaOpen = IIf(IsNull(HaOpen) OR IsNan(HaOpen) OR HaOpen==0 , Ref(HaOpen , 1) , HaOpen);

under HaOpen definition.
