Indicator Heikin-Ashi Open displays in a separate window the lines of opening and closing Heikin-Ashi candlesticks.

Intersections of the indicator lines may be signals for opening/closing the positions. It can be used together with indicator haDifference.

The indicator has no configurable options.

HAOpen = (PrevHAOpen + PrevHAClose) / 2.0

HAClose = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4.0

where:

  • HAClose - Heikin-Ashi candlestick closing price;
  • HAOpen - Heikin-Ashi candlestick opening price;
  • PrevHAClose - closing price of the previous Heikin-Ashi candlestick;
  • PrevHAOpen - opening price of the previous Heikin-Ashi candlesticks.
