{Gunzo} Heiken Ashi RibbonsHeiken Ashi Ribbons is a trend-following indicator which gives entry and exit points for short-term, medium-term and long term trading (using Exponential Moving Averages and Heiken Ashi formulas).
OVERVIEW :
The Heiken Ashi Ribbons indicator is composed of 3 moving average ribbons (slow, normal and fast) that are computed using the Heiken Ashi formulas. The 3 ribbons give a clear vision of the current trend as they use moving averages that smooth out the price and filter noise from short term fluctuations. In a simplified way, you can consider each ribbon as a moving average with a larger body size.
If the price is above the slow ribbon, we consider the asset as trending up in the short term (trending down otherwise). If the price is above the fast ribbon, we consider the asset as trending up in the long term (trending down otherwise).
CALCULATION :
First of all, to compute a ribbon for this indicator we calculate a moving average (EMA by default) for common sources (OHLC) :
EMA (open), EMA (high), EMA (low), EMA (close)
We then apply the Heiken Ashi formulas to the moving averages calculated previously.
HA (open) = HA (open) previous + HA (close) previous
HA (close) = ( EMA (open) + EMA (high) + EMA (low) + EMA (close) ) / 4
HA (high) = max( EMA (open), EMA (close), EMA (high) )
HA (low) = min ( EMA (open), EMA (close), EMA (low) )
The ribbon displayed (by default) on the chart is the area between HA (open) and HA (close).
SETTINGS :
1st Moving average length : Length of the slow moving average
2nd Moving average length : Length of the normal moving average
3rd Moving average length : Length of the fast moving average
Moving average method : Moving average calculation method (EMA : Exponential Moving Average, SMA : Simple Moving Average, WMA : Weighted Moving Average)
Ribbon type : standard ribbon uses the area between HA (open) and HA (close). Large ribbon uses the area between HA (low) and HA (high)
Display ribbon as candles : change the type of visualization between area and candles
Display short term buy/sell signals : Display short term buy/sell signals (crosses) when the fast moving average and normal moving average are crossing
Display long term buy/sell signals : Display long buy/sell signals (circles) when the fast moving average and slow moving average are crossing
Display ribbon trending up signals : Display ribbon direction change (triangle up) when the trend of the ribbon changes to trending up
Display ribbon trending down signals : Display ribbon direction change (triangle down) when the trend of the ribbon changes to trending down
VISUALIZATIONS :
This indicator has 2 possible visualizations :
Ribbons : the ribbons can be considered as enhanced moving averages for trading purposes. They represent the area between the Heiken Ashi of the moving average of the open and closing price. The color of the moving average line is green when the ribbon is trending up and red when the ribbon is trending down.
Signals : Various signals can be displayed at the bottom of the chart (Buy/Sell signals, Ribbon direction changes signals).
USAGE :
This indicator can be used in many strategies, just like when you are using multiple moving averages. You should test these strategies and use the one that best fits your trading style.
Strategy based on crossovers :
When the fast ribbon crosses above the normal ribbon, it is a short term buy signal (it is recommended to wait for a confirmation)
When the fast ribbon crosses under the normal ribbon, it is a short term sell signal (it is recommended to wait for a confirmation)
When the fast ribbon crosses above the slow ribbon, it is a long term buy signal
When the fast ribbon crosses over the slow ribbon, it is a long term buy signal
Strategy based on price position :
When the prices closes above the ribbon, it is a buy signal (long term if above slow ribbon, short term if above fast ribbon)
When the prices closes below the ribbon, it is a sell signal (long term if below slow ribbon, short term if below fast ribbon)
Strategy based on price bouncing :
When the price decreases and reaches the green long term ribbon, the price candles may not be able to cross the ribbon. If the price increases, we consider that move as a bounce on the ribbon, which is a buy signal
When the price increases and reaches a red long term ribbon, the price candles may not be able to cross the ribbon. If the price decreases, we consider that move as a bounce on the ribbon, which is a sell signal
Strategy based on ribbon direction :
When the direction of the ribbon changes, the trend of the asset is changing which may lead to a crossover to the next candles if the trend is continuing in that direction (it is recommended to validate the entry points with a second indicator as this strategy may have some false signals).

On the example chart you can compare it to a regular Hash using blue for upward trends
NSDT Heiken-Ashi Direction Bar MTFA simple script that places a bar at the bottom of the chart to indicate the direction of Heiken-Ashi candles - while still using traditional candles on the main chart. Try setting the bar on a higher timeframe to see the overall direction of the trend, while using traditional candles for entries/exits.
Bjorgum EMAThis is an answer back to repeated requests for a simple version of Bjorgum Triple EMA Strat, which is not recommended for use with Heiken Ashi candles as it results in "double smoothing" of the averages and can give late signals as a result.
The inputs are raw and super basic. At its core its really just 3 EMAs that you can customize the source and length. The averages and shadowing change color based on if they are either rising or falling.
default values are 5, 9, and 21 EMA on open as source.
Bar color is dictated by the bar close over or under the 5 and 9 EMA.
This is suitable for use on HA candle.
Heiken-Ashi Color Vts// Simple as it says:
// gives you the color of the Heiken Ashi candles in a separate panel.
// I needed this indicator since in TV switching from HA to normal candles resets the chart and I had to go back manually.
// This solves the nasty issue.
// Moreover, nobody enters/exits the trade on the HA values but everyone uses just their color, right?
// Since bearish candles are encoded with value -1 and bullish candles with +1,
// a simple average can be defined (if you don't find it useful, disable it).

BERLIN CandlesA problem with Heikin Ashi is that while it gives you a great overview of overall direction, it is rarely possible to use it as a replacement for normal japanese
candlesticks. The reason for this is that actual price data is lost, since the candles are more akin to a moving average than a different way to see price action. Also, with Heikin Ashi, most of the actual price action is lost, because the candles can be bigger than the high and low of the underlying japanese candlestick.
With BERLIN Candles I have tried to fix that problem. By using a smoothed out version of the previous Heikin Ashi candle close as the current BERLIN Candle open, the high and low of the actual japanese candlestick for the high and low of the BERLIN Candle, and the current Heikin Ashi close as the BERLIN Candle close, while setting hard limits for BERLIN Candle open and close values so that they can never exceed the high and low of the underlying japanese candlestick.
One problem still persists though. The actual current price data is lost. However, the BERLIN Candles have solved this by adding a fifth part to the candles. The close of the underlying japanese candlesticks are indicated with a plus-sign. This way, actual price data is never lost, while keeping all of the other benefits of this type of candles.
A few added bonuses:
The addition of the 14 period ATR at the latest candle
The baseline from Ichimoku is included as an option
The 14 period ATR value of each candle can be seen in the indicator data as
the orange value
QuantNomad - Heikin Ashi Colors Higher TimeframeSimple script displaying color of Heiken Ashi candles from higher timeframes as a background.
[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.

HA flattened - JDThis script gives you an opportunity to see the trend and price impulse information cointained in Heiken Ashi bars
whithout having to sacrifice seeing the raw price action of normal candles or other styles of charts.
I flattened out the HA bars to a straight line so it is easier to see if the candles momentum is picking up of fading
There is a Multi Time Frame option to show Heiken Ashi candles on another Time Frame.
There is the option to color the bars on the chart with the HA information (I use a 3 bar ma the further smooth out the info)
A last option is to add signals when the HA bars have wicks on the wrong side (down wicks on "up" candles an up wicks on "down" candles)
those can indicate price momentum staring to change into possible reversals or pull-backs soon.

I build these indicators for myself and provide them open source, to use for free to use and improve upon,
as I believe the best way to learn is toghether.
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).

Heiken-Ashi Direction Bias BlocksThis script adds red/green blocks to the top of every chart that show the current daily Heiken Ashi candle colour, so even when you're on a 1h or 4h chart you can quickly see if the current day is bullish or bearish. The higher timeframe is customisable too, so if you prefer to use weekly HA values, then now's your time to shine.
Useful for quickly going through charts without having to load the daily HA chart each time.
Kozlod - Heikin-Ashi Bar Color Change AlertsYou can use this script to setup alerts on Heikin-Ashi bar color change.
You have to apply this script to usual candles and not Heikin-Ashi!!!
Background color indicates HA bar color. On change you'll see green/red arrows and alert will be fired.
Also you can find in the code calculations of all HA OHLC values.

Heiken Ashi Pivot Blue Candle over Regular CandlesThis mixes Heiken-Ashi with regular candles by adding blue candle to regular candles. A blue candle appears anywhere that you are going from red Heiken-Ashi to green Heiken-Ashi. Also, black candles appear anywhere that you are going from green Heiken-Ashi to red Heiken-Ashi.
Heiken Ashi Candles
This is a script to place Heiken Ashi candles on your chart alongside another candle type or more importantly, using the variables from this script, you can build a strategy using Heiken Ashi candles that will depict true/proper entries and exits in a strategy when using the backtest feature.
We hope this helps!
Heiken Ashi zero lag EMA v1.1 by JustUncleLI originally wrote this script earlier this year for my own use. This released version is an updated version of my original idea based on more recent script ideas. As always with my Alert scripts please do not trade the CALL/PUT indicators blindly, always analyse each position carefully. Always test indicator in DEMO mode first to see if it profitable for your trading style.
DESCRIPTION:
This Alert indicator utilizes the Heiken Ashi with non lag EMA was a scalping and intraday trading system
that has been adapted also for trading with binary options high/low. There is also included
filtering on MACD direction and trend direction as indicated by two MA: smoothed MA(11) and EMA(89).
The the Heiken Ashi candles are great as price action trending indicator, they shows smooth strong
and clear price fluctuations.
Financial Markets: any.
Optimsed settings for 1 min, 5 min and 15 min Time Frame;
Expiry time for Binary options High/Low 3-6 candles.
Indicators used in calculations:
- Exponential moving average, period 89
- Smoothed moving average, period 11
- Non lag EMA, period 20
- MACD 2 colour (13,26,9)
Generate Alerts use the following Trading Rules
Heiken Ashi with non lag dot
Trade only in direction of the trend.
UP trend moving average 11 period is above Exponential moving average 89 period,
Doun trend moving average 11 period is below Exponential moving average 89 period,
CALL Arrow appears when:
Trend UP SMA11>EMA89 (optionally disabled),
Non lag MA blue dot and blue background.
Heike ashi green color.
MACD 2 Colour histogram green bars (optional disabled).
PUT Arrow appears when:
Trend UP SMA11<EMA89 (optionally disabled),
Heike ashi red color.
Non lag MA red dot and red background.
MACD 2 colour histogram red bars (optionally disabled).
HINTS:
- Good positions occur when MACD crosses the Zero line.
- Switch between Heikin Ashi and Normal candles as part of your analysis of the price action.
- Large Heikin Ashi candles with small wicks in direction of trend are good strong trends.
Price Action Doji Harami v0.2 by JustUncleLThis is an updated and final version of this indicator. This version distinguishes between the true Harami and the other Doji candlestick patterns as used with the Heikin Ashi candle charts. These candle patterns indicate a potential trend reversal or pullback.
The patterns identified are:
- Bearish Harami (Red Highlight above Bar):
One to three (default 3) large body Bull (green) candles followed by a small (red)
or no body candle (less than 0.5pip) with wicks top and bottom that are at least 60% of candle.
- Bullish Harami (Green Highlight below Bar):
One to three (default 3) large body Bear (red) candles followed by a small (green)
or no body candle (less than 0.5pip) with wicks top and bottom that are at least 60% of candle.
- Bearish Doji (Fuchsia Highlight above Bar):
One to three (default 3) large body Bull (green) candles followed by a small (green)
with wicks top and bottom that are at least 60% of candle.
- Bullish Doji (Aqua Highlight below Bar):
One to three (default 3) large body Bear (red) candles followed by a small (red)
with wicks top and bottom that are at least 60% of candle.
You can optionally specify how large the candles prior to Harami/Doji are in pips, default is 0 pip.
If you set this to zero then it will have no candle size consideration. You can also specify how many look back candles (1-3) are used in Harami/Doji calculations (default 3).
Included option to perform Calculations purely on Heikin Ashi candles, this helps when you want to see the HA Doji/Harami bars with the normal candle stick chart.
Also can optionally set an alert condition for when Harami/Doji found, this also displays a circle on the bottom of the screen when alert is triggered.
I_Heikin Ashi CandleWhen apply a strategy to Heikin Ashi Candle chart (HA candle), the strategy will use the open/close/high/low values of the Heikin Ashi candle to calculate the Profit and Loss, hence also affecting the Percent Profitable, Profit Factor, etc., often resulting a unrealistic high Percent Profitable and Profit Factor, which is misleading. But if you want to use the HA candle's values to calculate your indicator / strategy, but pass the normal candle's open/close/high/low values to the strategy to calculate the Profit / Loss, you can do this:
1) set up the main chart to be a normal candle chart
2) use this indicator script to plot a secondary window with indicator looks exactly like a HA-chart
3) to use the HA-candle's open/close/high/low value to calculate whatever indicator you want (you may need to create a separate script if you want to plot this indicator in a separate indicator window)
