This indicator is based on an idea of Nicolas (= heikin ashi of higher TF ), with the difference that the Heikin Ashi candles of a higher time-frame are now superimposed on the price window of a given TF. Heikin Ashi candles are wonderful to filter the noise in the quotes and allow to see more clearly the underlying trend.The period of the upper TF candles are set in minutes (1 Hour 60, 4 hours 240, one day 1440 etc.)The HA candle is drawn as a rectangle and inside the rectangle we can see next to the price bars other small bars that show us how the HA candle of the TF has evolved over time.
