Signal is pretty simple.
I have added the option to filtering, delay signal until appearance of the first candle without a wick.
Fewer false signals.

Filtering
Up Trend - Open = Low
Down Trend - Open = High

Heikin-Ashi ( A Better Candlestick)
Heikin-Ashi are not another Japanese Candlesticks pattern.
Heikin-Ashi Helps identify a trend more easily.

Heikin-Ashi Heikin-Ashi formula
Close = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4
Open = [Open (previous bar) + Close (previous bar)]/2
High = Max (High,Open,Close)
Low = Min (Low,Open, Close)

Simultaneous Upper and Lower Wicks (shadows ) indicates a trend change, Indecision.

Hi Apprentice,
I would be much useful for it to signal when the color of the HA candlestick changes or when dojis are formed(Right now it just signals every 5 minutes, by default, and says Long or Short which is kinda annoying) ..I would like it to signal only when the color of candlestcick changes or when dojis are formed..It is at these points that trend changes are occuring and we need to be alerted..

I have attached pic illustrating my idea..

Could you please tell what is the parameter of the signal did you use? I ran apprentice's signal this morning on EUR/USD in 5 minute resolution and the alerts were pretty correct. The only difference from your expectation is that Doji candle is not shown.

Please find the version which is a bit simplified and support Doji (you can specify what is "Doji" in terms of max. body length, in pips)

i am really excited about using this signal, but when i apply it the signal does not show up until some time after......even with filter off. While signal has been in use I have gone to 'change signal' on the chart and then pressed OK and it reloads (updates) signal and a more recent signal shows up. The signal is not signaling when the candle closes. This maybe something simple i have over-looked but would still appreciate some feed back

Hm... the signal can be shown on the chart only using the "showsignal" indicator which is intended solely for the backtesting of signals on the pre-loaded history data. Do you use the signal this way?

Unfortunately, the back-testing indicator is pretty limited in this version. Further versions will support loading of more historical data as well as receiving a new real-time data.

To apply the signal on the real-time data and get text and sound notification - please apply signal using "Signals->Add Signal" command.

thanks for the reply, yes you were spot on, and i was trying to use the signal(bullet) in real time. Last evening i actually applied the signal to 'add signals' and this works fine. Better in my opinion since their is no need to cycle through charts looking for signal bullets. Thanks again

Heikin Ashi Signal

Postby EvotsStirevot » Sun Jun 13, 2010 9:31 pm

Can only seem to get this to work with daily chart. It shows flat on on my 2 min and 5 min charts. Also where can I find info on using in conjunction with cci?

Thanks

Did you set the required time frame.
For reference see the picture.

As Far I know, HA CCI combination has not yet written.
Try to articulate trading strategy that you use in order to be able to write the appropriate signal.

Or you use, need only a combination of HA CCI ?
