Smoothed Heikin-Ashi for ThinkorSwim

[technicallydreaming]

@$fusionboy16 Even so, I am able to change the color overall ,but still can't have different colors between rising / falling candles

 

[mc01439]

@Ronathan Edwards It is done - look at Post #25 from@ Thomas (BLT Version https://tos.mx/Au5c4zK). Turn "nowicks" to no and "show smoothed candles only" to no.

@Thomas Is it possible to add the ability to scan for Red or Green Heinken Ashi Bars?

 

[BenTen]

@andre.muhammad You can use the study from this post to scan the logic that makes up red or green Heiken-Ashi candles. In other words, here's how to scan for Heiken-Ashi color.

Hi, I'm new here.
I really wanted to try out a Smoothed Heiken-Ashi study for TOS, since it is not available in the default program I looked for a script online, which brought me here. I edited the study from page 1 by HoboTheClown/blt to get the green ha-candles working as I expected. I don't do much scripting but I thought others might find it useful.

# Heikin Ashi Smoothed
# HoboTheClown / blt
# 9.15.2016

# HoboTheClown: I recently found a code for smoothed heiken ashi bars,
# however for some reason all the bars are displayed as one color (going up or down).
#
# blt: Modified the code and replaced the addchart code at the bottom,
# you should now see proper coloring. This is how that was coded to plot
# as an overlay to the chart candlesticks. That is two sets of candles,
# with different coloring for each. If you have the heikin ashi candle
# coloring code on your chart, then they will likely appear the same color.

#Update that "fixes" the green candles.

How to code Sound Bell if Bullish or Bearish Change - Please see screenshot and code below

Thank you for your help

I worked it out -

# Alerts
Alert(Bullish, text = "Buy HA Signal", sound = Sound.Bell, "alert type" = Alert.BAR);

Alert(Bearish, text = "HA Momentum_Down", sound = Sound.Bell, "alert type" = Alert.BAR);

# End Code

 

[caspara2]

@JTP Nice work. I am using your revised version, but I use it outside of the main chart with white and gray candles instead of green and red.

 

[MatthewTherrien]

I am using this with Choppiness Index from Mobius - to tell me when to keep out of trades and DMI and Chaikin to confirm my HA trade - works well so far - even on 1 min TF

Wondering if anyone has or has come across the smoothed Heiken Ashi code for TOS. I found the below but the constant problem I have seen is that it will not color the down candles to red. It all remains green. Anyone have any insight? I cannot remember where I came across the original code. Thanks

Can someone please help to plot the price Bars on the Heikin ashi? price line can be added, I wanted to see the price daily bars on the Heikin ashi. Thanks

 

[majidg]

From a chart in ThinkorSwim: Settings > Appearance > Chart type: select "Heikin Ashi."
I don't like the way it paints the candles.
I just add the smoothed line by using the study: HeikinAshiSmoothed
I turn the plot (and off the bubble.) That shows the smoothed line without painting the candles.

Thanks for your help.

Last contribution... https://tos.mx/vTZFLND
you must adjust this, play with it... add the candlesticks....somehow...

Thanks for your help!

 

[TOS007]

Can anyone code a MTF for smoothed Heikin Ashi? Thanks in advance!

 

[TOS007]

I like how MTF for smoothed Heikin Ashi looks on the chart, even without the code, you can simply calculate by hand for the bigger time frame.

[MerryDay]

@TOS007 There are a couple of variations of MTF Smoothed Heikin Ashi which seem to have different rates of success. If you read through, you might be able to cobble something together. https://usethinkscript.com/threads/completed-heikin_ashi-indicator.5251/

How did you get this arrows ? I am using the code from post #44 and I don't see them

@vikram those arrows were hand-drawn

Hi All,

I am looking for some help to replicate the smooth heikin ashi chart as attached - specifically the green study where it says: (Tick_Master (7, yes, Valcu, Weighted).

Thanks in advance! Long time browser here since the beginning and I appreciate what all y'all do.

Best,
Corello

[MerryDay]

@corello it is not possible to know what is meant by: (Tick_Master (7, yes, Valcu, Weighted) without seeing the code.
But you can read through this thread to get an idea of the type of smooth heikin ashi charts, other members have come up with.

 

[MerryDay]

for some reason it didnt show on my chart, any ideas?

It might have to do with chart settings, I imported it as a study and a strategy, and it hid everything else on my chart, but when I changed the setting for "Show Smoothed Candles Only" to no, my chart data was no longer hidden but still couldn't see the Heiken Ashi study. tried a few different changes with settings but no dice. Guess we'll wait

I moved your questions to this thread. Read through it. It provides a better understanding of the complexities of using this indicator on your charts.
