Heikin Ashi Smooth

  I use the Heikin Ashi Smooth as a moving average and want to incorporate it into a system.

  I want to code buy and sell signals based on the Heikin Ashi smooth.

  Buy when first green Heikin Ashi smooth appears and closes, after a succession of red Heikin Ashi smooth.

  This to be irrespective of where price action candles are on the chart.

  I will concentrate on the buy side and then move onto developing the sell side.

  Attached is a screen shot of the red Heikin Ashi eventually closing green……..the setting price in the back ground is Line + points.

  Any guidance on this first element would be very helpful.

   

  Many thanks

  Ok I had a crack at the code using the simplified method of creating code……….

  Its telling me there is a syntax error in line 6 (as that has an exclamation mark in an orange triangle – LOL)

  Just trying to get it started in the first instance i.e. buy when Heikin Ashi Smooth candle turns green after a red candle………..although I only could think that you would have to state that the Heikin Ashi smooth indicator relevant

  candle would close above the open as I dont think you can program colour changes? is that correct?

  Any guidance would be a great help.

  Thanks.

  Lines 6 and 15 have more than one error each:

  • remove the initial “>”
  • use a variable to assign the returned value of the CALL.

  Hi.

  Thanks for getting back.

  I dont understand     ‘use a variable to assign the returned value of the CALL.’

   

  thanks

  Because CALL returns a value and that value has to be stored somewhere, like in lines 5 and 14, so that you can compare them.

  You cannot use “>” to compare 2 different CALL and it cannot be written in separate lines.
