I was wondering if any one knows how to add an alert to this Heikin Ashi Smoothed code below to signal when the trend has change and closed in a new direction. I have added a screen shot of when I am looking for it to alert, the purple vertical line is where the signal should trigger. I pulled the alert code from another one of my scripts but for some reason I havent been able to figure out what part of the Heikin code will actually make this one trigger on the switch.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!!
