Heikin_Ashi Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

I have seen this in a couple posts on the internet and possibly here on useThinkscript, but not sure. I have not found a link to the study or code. If someone recognizes this and its converted for ToS, I would appreciate a link to it. Thank you !!

Note: Script below modified to look like the image you supplied

Code:
#Heiken_Ashi based on Sylvan Verboort's Trading with HA Candlestick Oscillator
#Bon Bon _last update Jan 17th 2021
#Influenced by script from HoboTheClown / blt,http://www.thinkscripter.com, TD Hacolt etc.
#MTF based on HannTech's MTF_MACD script
#update 1/2/21 - changed the default moving average to TEMA.  Changed the period to 35.
#update changed reversal arrows to reversal bubbles with price

### YOU MUST HAVE THE STYLE SETTING FIT STUDIES ENABLED ###

Hi I have been looking for something like this- thank you so much for asking! Can I ask about the arrows? is that an additional study or is it in the code? my chart does not plot arrows...
To see the arrows, you need to remove the hashtags # from these lines of your code:
change this:
Ruby:
#def trend = haClose >= haOpen ;
#plot trendup = trend and !trend[1];
#trendup.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
#trendup.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);


#def trendd = haClose <= haOpen ;
#plot trendDown = trendd and !trendd[1];
#trendDown.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
#trendDown.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

To this:
Ruby:
def trend = haClose >= haOpen ;
plot trendup = trend and !trend[1];
trendup.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
trendup.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);

def trendd = haClose <= haOpen ;
plot trendDown = trendd and !trendd[1];
trendDown.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
trendDown.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
