Dead Simple Heikin Ashi Candles (HA Candles)Are you looking for a dead simple calculation of the Heikin Ashi candles as they are calculated in tradingview? Here it is!
I was looking through the library and I saw that many have come up with a lot of awesome scripts using heikin ashi candles. But, I can't find anywhere that had the straightforward simple version of how Tradingview calculates them. This was a problem for me because I realized after punching the formula in that TradingView doesn't calculate HA candles in the original way.
You might say they don't calculate them the "right" but, spoiler alert, there is no right in trading. You can only be rational or irrational as you make money or lose money.
This is useful to me for building out some portions of an algo that are not going to be compatible with the built-in function. It happens. So, if you were looking for it too, hopefully it saves you some time.
For reference the original calc of HA candles is:
o = (prev_HA_open + prev_HA_close) / 2
h = math.max(high, ha_open, ha_close)
l = math.min(low, ha_open, ha_close)
c = ohlc4
Trade Well.

MTF Heikinashi BarOVERVIEW
This indicator shows whether Heikin Ashi is up or down, represented by a bar. This indicator is compatible with MTF.
CONCEPTS
What do you want to know about market analysis?
Do you want a hard analysis? You can look for it.
All I want to know is whether the commonly known technical analysis is 'UP' or 'DOWN'.
All I want to know is whether the current market price is going up or down. Not only for the current, but also for the monthly, weekly, and daily status.
I want to make a decision in a moment. Without even thinking about it.
That is why I created a color-coded bar indicator to show the status.
No need to frown anymore.
DETAILS
Heikin means average. Ashi means legs. In this case, it means a candle.
Close = (Close + Open + High + Low) / 4

Candle Stick UpdateHeikin ashi chart so powerful that you can understand trend direction easily. But sometimes, this type of chart doesn't update properly and make no sense on real time. So I made this script. You can now change candle stick style default to heikin ashi (default / modified version) on the real time default chart without switching heikin ashi chart. Enjoy traders!!!

Heikin Ashi Bar OverlayThis script shows Heikin Ashi bars on your chart with specified vertical offset
Heikin Ashi Candles - Actual CloseHeikin Ashi Candles - Actual Close is a simple script that instead of displaying Heikin Ashi Close it displays the actual close.
This script is a handy tool for anyone that wants to use Heikin Ashi candles that displays the real close. The coloring of the candles is still based on the Heikin Ashi calculations.
Enjoy.
[SCL] Better Heikin AshiTo display the Heikin Ashi candle direction on your normal chart, using this script is better than switching between layouts. It includes different display modes so that you can use it alongside other indicators without clashing visually (bar colour/plotted shapes/shapes on flip only), and alerts on changes in direction. Many scripts include some or other of these features; here I've included them all in one for flexibility. One feature that AFAIK is unique is the "predictive close", which shows you where the current candle needs to close in order to change the Heikin Ashi direction.
Heikin Ashi is a different method of calculating candlesticks. It has several advantages:
+ It can help to show the dominant trend in a smoother way than normal candles.
+ Flips in direction can show either trend reversal, or a pause and continuation, which can be a place to join a trend.
Disadvantages of using Heikin Ashi include:
+ Having to change to a different chart layout
+ Difficulties working directly with Heikin Ashi values, because the values of the Open, Low, High, and Close displayed are different to the "real" prices.
This indicator solves this problem by bringing trend information from Heikin Ashi candles (whether they're bullish or bearish) onto your normal candle chart. It displays in the main chart pane.
[RESEARCH] Heikin-Ashi Chart IdentifierA deterministic approach to identify Heikin-Ashi chart type.
The script checks the next statements about HA:
HA chart does not have any gaps in a classic sense
Every new HA open price is calculated using a specific recurrence formula. This fact also means that initial HA open price is used to calculate all the next and so on (a construction of Infinite Impulse Response filters)
The script works correctly being applied to other chart types:
Classic Candlestick
Range Bars
Line Break
Traditional Renko
ATR Renko
Traditional Point-and-Figure
ATR Point-and-Figure
Kagi
For special ones: this code allows you to check whether your script is being executed with Heikin-Ashi candles or not inside your script.

IO_Heikin-Ashi OverlayThis is Traditional Heikin-Ashi bars overlayed with regular candlestick/any chart type
Although HA is available in TradingView by default, this script is to recalculate HA by traditional calculations.
This version REPAINTS!! This is because Traditional HA uses Close Price (which is calculated on the fly).
