How to write a Heiken Ashi

  Hi

  I would like to write a code where after a EMA crosses over another I buy a contract and sell when the Heiken Ashi (HA) turns from green to red.

  The EMA element is fine but cannot get the HA bit.

  I have the basics of the below but cannot work out how to write the code to get from green to red, a then vice a versa when going short from red to green

  //heiken ashi xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2 xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose) xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  //heiken ashi xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2 xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose) xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif

   

  Can anyone help please?

  There you go:

  //heiken ashi xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2 xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose) xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif xBullish = xClose > xOpen xBearish = xClose < xOpen ColorChange = (xBullish AND xBearish[1]) OR (xBullish[1] AND xBearish)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  //heiken ashi xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then    xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2    xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose)    xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif xBullish    = xClose > xOpen xBearish    = xClose < xOpen ColorChange = (xBullish AND xBearish[1]) OR (xBullish[1] AND xBearish)

  COLORCHANGE will be true whenever two adjacent HA candlesticks have different colours.

  Hi

  I applied the above code but cannot get it to work. I had to //REM xHigh and xLow as the system said it was not included in the code.

  Same idea as before, When the MACD crosses over buy on a green HA. Close that order when the HA turns red (but do not automatically sell to open a new position).

  Any pointers to where I am going wrong would be appreciated.

  Sorry cant see where to “insert PRT code”.

  //————————————————————————- // Main code : MACD with HA End //————————————————————————- DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False //MACD[12,26,9](close) Cumulating positions deactivated // The system will cancel all pending orders and close all positions at 0:00.

DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 200000 // Cancel all pending orders and close all positions at the “FLATAFTER” time DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 205000 a = MACDline[12,26,9](close) b = MACD[12,26,9](close) //heiken ashi xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2 //xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose) //xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif xBullish = xClose > xOpen xBearish = xClose < xOpen ColorChange = (xBullish AND xBearish[1]) OR (xBullish[1] AND xBearish) // Conditions to enter long positions IF NOT LongOnMarket AND a crosses over b THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions IF LongOnMarket AND Colorchange THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to enter short positions IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND a crosses under b THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit short positions IF ShortOnMarket AND Colorchange THEN BUY AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here SET TARGET PPROFIT 40 SET STOP Ptrailing 15

  You posted in the wrong forum, this is a strategy and therefore the correct support forum is ProOrder.

  To exit a Short trade you need EXITSHORT, since BUY will open a Long trade.

  Sorry about any confusion I thought you wanted me to open a new post.

  I tried the EXITSHORT and positions still did not open. There was a trade this afternoon that would have made 73 points. MACD crossed under and red HA candle present afterwards. Short position did not open.

  Line 11 is correct.

  Replace line 12 with:

  b = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[12,26,9](close)) //Signal line

  1	b = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[12,26,9](close))  //Signal line

  and use EXITSHORT.
