How to get my strategy to recognize Heikin Ashi Candles

[ChadsMach1]

I am having trouble in my trade logic when setting my chart to use Heikin Ashi candles. For example, if I want to find all Heikin Ashi candles that Close green, where there is no lower wick I define it as:

def haOpen = (open[1] + close[1])/2;
def haClose = (open + close + high + low)/4;

def entry = haClose > haOpen                                #Candle closes Green
   and haClose < high                                               #High is greater than the Close (has a upper wick)
   and Low == haOpen;                                            #Low is equal to Open (no lower wick)

However when I do this, it seems to only look for this on regular candles. Do I need to define the HA candles differently first before referencing them this way?

You are using normal high and low instead of Heikin-Ashi high low.

add formulas for ha high and ha low.
