Hello, is there a way to change the signal of this indicator from a color change into an arrow that can be scanned?

Code: 
declare upper;

input changeCandleColor = yes;
input dojiBodyRatio = 0.05;

def hc = OHLC4;
def ho = CompoundValue(1, (ho[1] + hc[1]) / 2, hc);
def hh = Max(Max(high, ho), hc);
def hl = Min(Min(low, ho), hc);
def hRange = (hh-hl);
def doji_data = AbsValue(ho - hc) <= (hRange) * dojiBodyRatio;
def HAclose   =  ohlc4;
def HAopen    = CompoundValue( 1, ( HAopen[1] + HAclose[1] ) / 2, HAclose );
def HAhigh    = Max( high, Max( HAopen, HAclose ) );
def HAlow     = Min( low, Min( HAopen, HAclose ) );

input testbubble = yes;
AddChartBubble(testbubble and HAopen == HAhigh, HAhigh, high, Color.YELLOW);
AddChartBubble(testbubble and HAopen == HAlow, HAlow, low, Color.WHITE, no);

Thanks for this. From what I saw was that the arrows are flipped. the down arrow is appearing on a bullish signal and the up arrow is popping up on the bearish signal. I will try to correct it and post it here if I can. This is awesome though. Thank you once again

(Edit)

I think I fixed it.

Code: 
declare upper;

input changeCandleColor = yes;
input dojiBodyRatio = 0.05;

def hc = OHLC4;
def ho = CompoundValue(1, (ho[1] + hc[1]) / 2, hc);

def hl = Min(Min(low, ho), hc);
def hRange = (hh-hl);
def doji_data = AbsValue(ho - hc) <= (hRange) * dojiBodyRatio;
def HAclose   =  ohlc4;
def HAopen    = CompoundValue( 1, ( HAopen[1] + HAclose[1] ) / 2, HAclose );
def HAhigh    = Max( high, Max( HAopen, HAclose ) );
def HAlow     = Min( low, Min( HAopen, HAclose ) );

input testbubble = yes;
AddChartBubble(testbubble and HAopen == HAhigh, HAhigh, high, Color.YELLOW);
AddChartBubble(testbubble and HAopen == HAlow, HAlow, low, Color.WHITE, no);

def hiArrow = if HAclose > HAhigh[1] and HAclose > HAopen and HAopen >= HAlow then low else Double.NaN;
def loArrow = if HAclose < HAlow[1] and HAclose < HAopen and HAopen <= HAhigh then high else Double.NaN;

plot UpArrow = hiArrow;
plot DnArrow = loArrow;

UpArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
DnArrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);


DefineGlobalColor("H", Color.RED);
DefineGlobalColor("L", Color.MAGENTA);

input pricecolor = yes;
AssignPriceColor(if !pricecolor then Color.CURRENT
else if HAopen == HAhigh then GlobalColor("H")

Well, I used your new colored system. I increase my profits by more than 100%. Instead of getting into a trade when the market starts, if the candles are yellow (going sideways) I do not go in. I wait till they turn green or red. Man, my confidence going into a trade increased. I went from making $1,000 a day to an average of $2,000 to $2,500. I hope to increase this to over $4,000 a day by January. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Happy Thanskgiving. Ed

Truly impressive results. I'm curious as to how you're using, as I see the indicator as being very noisy.

Sorry, newbie here. What are you trying to achieve and how is this different than just looking at Heikin Ashi Flat bottom or Flat top?

Hi, not sure what indicator you are talking about. But as far as the Heiken Ashi candles are concern, they work for me. I use the 20 and 200 EMA at market open. When the 20 breaks away from the 200 I enter the trade. Before I would make mistakes and enter too early or late and suffered some stress. Now if the market opens and the first two or three candles are yellow, I do not enter. I wait till the candles turn red or green and then I enter. I normally trade options. So when it turns green I go in with more contracts with a comfort level that it will move in the right direction. I have more than doubled my winnings in the last two weeks. I like this a lot. I find it very helpful. Everyone is different. The candles don't look "noisy" for me. Hope this helps. If you like I can attach a picture if you want. let me know. Happy to help. Ed.

Yes, a picture of a recent trade that you took using the EMAs and the HA indicator would be most appreciated. Also, the time frame and the instruments you trade to achieve these superior results. Thanks in advance kind sir. 🙏
