This code snippet demonstrates how to calculate the SuperTrend indicator using Heikin Ashi candlestick values in ProBuilder. The SuperTrend is a popular trading indicator that combines price momentum and volatility to determine potential market trends. Heikin Ashi candles are used here to smooth price data and reduce noise, enhancing the effectiveness of the SuperTrend indicator.
ONCE xOpen = open
xClose = (open + high + low + close) / 4
IF BarIndex > 1 THEN
xOpen = (xOpen[1] + xClose[1]) / 2
ENDIF
xLow = min(low,min(xClose,xOpen))
xHigh = max(high,max(xClose,xOpen))
MedianHA = (xHigh + xLow) / 2
//
IF BarIndex > Max(Periods,Multiplier) THEN
MyATR = AverageTrueRange[Periods](xClose) * Multiplier
BasicUPPER = MedianHA + MyATR
BasicLOWER = MedianHA - MyATR
IF (BasicUPPER < FinalUPPER[1]) OR (xClose[1] > FinalUPPER[1]) THEN
FinalUPPER = BasicUPPER
ENDIF
IF (BasicLOWER > FinalLOWER[1]) OR (xClose[1] < FinalLOWER[1]) THEN
FinalLOWER = BasicLOWER
ENDIF
IF (ST[1] = FinalUPPER[1]) AND (xClose <= FinalUPPER) THEN
ST = FinalUPPER
ELSE IF (ST[1] = FinalUPPER[1]) AND (xClose > FinalUPPER) THEN
ST = FinalLOWER
ELSE IF (ST[1] = FinalLOWER[1]) AND (xClose >= FinalLOWER) THEN
ST = FinalLOWER
ELSE IF (ST[1] = FinalLOWER[1]) AND (xClose < FinalLOWER) THEN
ST = FinalUPPER
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
RETURN ST AS "Super Trend HA"
Explanation of the code:
This approach helps in smoothing the price data and potentially provides a clearer indication of the trend direction, which can be beneficial in various trading strategies.
