Help editing code to base actions on Smoothed Heiken Aishi instead of Impulse MACD

Will anyone help me to edit this code to perform its current function (changing the colors on the borders and wicks of candles) based on the colors of the Smoothed Heiken Aishi instead of changing them based on the colors of the Impulse MACD.

Thank you, greatly, however, I input the code and it is painting the entire candle the color of the Smoothed heiken aishi and is not coloring the inside of the candles the original colors of the candle's direction as the original code which I posted was able to do. I even tried changing the "yes" to "no" when it asked about painting the bars and it is still doing the same thing. Do you have any suggestions?

Once again, I thank you for the work you've put in on my behalf...but there is only one issue.....this time the borders were painted, but it is the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve. The code makes the inside of the candles reflect the smooth heiken aishi colors and the borders and wicks to reflect the actual price up or price down color. If there is any way for you to reverse it so that the inside body of the candle reflects the price up and down colors and the outside borders and wicks reflect the smooth heiken aishi, I would be much appreciative.

Once again; I thank you. We are one step closer. The only problem now is that it is painting the borders red when the Smoothed Heiken aishi should be green (when the trend is up) and it is painting the borders green when it is in downtrend). As before, your help is appreciated.

hey said:
The smoothed heiken aishi borders are fixed but now the candle bodies are not showing true price action colors and instead are all green

@hey

I'm taking a stab, is this it?


Cheers!

Sorry; actually, the one you just sent has the candle bodies reflecting smoothed heiken aishi and the candle wicks and borders reflecting the normal uptick and downtick candle colors, but I'm desiring the exact opposite (the wicks and borders to relecting smooth heiken aishi and and bodies to reflect normal candle uptick and downtick). And upon further review, the one sent prior to this one had the wicks and borders reflecting actual candle uptick and downtick while the body was reflecting the Smooth Heiken aishi

Perhaps this is it?

No, now wicks, borders and bodies reflect smoothed heiken aishi. The original code which I posted was able to do it, but based on the impulse macd as opposed to the smoothed heiken aishi. Perhaps a meer tweaking of that code would produce the desired result?

Code: 
#

input length = 13;
input paintBars = yes;

def EMA = ExpAverage(close, length);
def MACD = ExpAverage(close, 12) - ExpAverage(close, 26);
def MACDHist = MACD - ExpAverage(MACD, 9);
def GreenPrice = EMA > EMA[1] and MACDHist > MACDHist[1];
def RedPrice = EMA < EMA[1] and MACDHist < MACDHist[1];

plot Bullish = GreenPrice;
plot Neutral = !GreenPrice and !RedPrice;
plot Bearish = RedPrice;

Bullish.SetDefaultColor(Color.UPTICK);
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bullish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bullish.hide();
Neutral.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
Neutral.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Neutral.SetLineWeight(3);

Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.DOWNTICK);
Bearish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bearish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bearish.hide();

DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.UPTICK);

DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.DOWNTICK);
AssignPriceColor(if !paintBars then Color.CURRENT else if GreenPrice then globalColor("Bullish") else if RedPrice then globalColor("Bearish") else globalColor("Neutral"));


input charttype = ChartType.CANDLE;
def o = open;

# Direction based on SHA

def RedPrice = shaClose < shaOpen;
