Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S [CHE]Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ Purpose. Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is built to surface only the cleanest momentum turns: it prints a Buy (B) when a bullish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with virtually no lower wick, and a Sell (S) when a bearish Heikin-Ashi candle forms with no upper wick. Optional Lock mode turns these into one-shot signals that hold the regime (bull or bear) until the opposite side appears. The tool can also project dashed horizontal lines from each signal’s price level to help you manage entries, stops, and partial take-profits visually. How it works. The indicator computes standard Heikin-Ashi values from your chart’s OHLC. A bar qualifies as bullish if its HA close is at or above its HA open; bearish if below. Then the wick on the relevant side is compared to the bar’s HA range. If that wick is smaller than your selected percentage threshold (plus a tiny tick epsilon to avoid rounding noise), the raw condition is considered “wickless.” Only one side can fire; on the rare occasion both raw conditions would overlap, the bar is ignored to prevent false dual triggers. When Lock is enabled, the first valid signal sets the active regime (background shaded light green for bull, light red for bear) and suppresses further same-side triggers until the opposite side appears, which helps reduce overtrading in chop. Why wickless? A missing wick on the “wrong” side of a Heikin-Ashi candle is a strong hint of persistent directional pressure. In practice, this filters out hesitation bars and many mid-bar flips. Traders who prefer entering only when momentum is decisive will find wickless bars useful for timing entries within an established bias. Visuals you get. When a valid buy appears, a small triangle “B” is plotted below the bar and a green dashed line can extend to the right from the signal’s HA open price. For sells, a triangle “S” above the bar and a red dashed line do the same. These lines act like immediate, price-anchored references for stop placement and profit scaling; you can shift the anchor left by a chosen number of bars if you prefer the line to start a little earlier for visual alignment. How to trade it Establish context first. Pick a timeframe that matches your style: intraday index or crypto traders often use 5–60 minutes; swing traders might prefer 2–4 hours or daily. The tool is agnostic, but the cleanest results occur when the market is already trending or attempting a fresh breakout. Entry. When a B prints, the simplest rule is to enter long at or just after bar close. A conservative variation is to require price to take out the high of the signal bar in the next bar(s). For S, invert the logic: enter short on or after close, or only if price breaks the signal bar’s low. Stop-loss. Place the stop beyond the opposite extreme of the signal HA bar (for B: under the HA low; for S: above the HA high). If you prefer a static reference, use the dashed line level (signal HA open) or an ATR buffer (e.g., 1.0–1.5× ATR(14)). The goal is to give the trade enough room that normal noise does not immediately knock you out, while staying small enough to keep the risk contained. Take-profit and management. Two pragmatic approaches work well: R-multiple scaling. Define your initial risk (distance from entry to stop). Scale out at 1R, 2R, and let a runner go toward 3R+ if structure holds. Trailing logic. Trail behind a short moving average (e.g., EMA 20) or progressive swing points. Many traders also exit on the opposite signal when Lock flips, especially on faster timeframes. Position sizing. Keep risk per trade modest and consistent (e.g., 0.25–1% of account). The indicator improves timing; it does not replace risk control. Settings guidance Max lower wick for Bull (%) / Max upper wick for Bear (%). These control how strict “wickless” must be. Tighter values (0.3–1.0%) yield fewer but cleaner signals and are great for strong trends or low-noise instruments. Looser values (1.5–3.0%) catch more setups in volatile markets but admit more noise. If you notice too many borderline bars triggering during high-volatility sessions, increase these thresholds slightly. Lock (one-shot until opposite). Keep Lock ON when you want one decisive signal per leg, reducing noise and signal clusters. Turn it OFF only if your plan intentionally scales into trends with multiple entries. Extended lines & anchor offset. Leave lines ON to maintain a visual memory of the last trigger levels. These often behave like near-term support/resistance. The offset simply lets you start that line one or more bars earlier if you prefer the look; it does not change the math. Colors. Use distinct bull/bear line colors you can read easily on your theme. The default lime/red scheme is chosen for clarity. Practical examples Momentum continuation (long). Price is above your baseline (e.g., EMA 200). A B prints with a tight lower wick filter. Enter on close; stop under the signal HA low. Price pushes up in the next bars; you scale at 1R, trail the rest with EMA 20, and finally exit when a distant S appears or your trail is hit. Breakout confirmation (short). Following a range, price breaks down and prints an S with no upper wick. Enter short as the bar closes or on a subsequent break of the signal bar’s low. If the next bar immediately rejects and prints a bullish HA bar, your stop above the signal HA high limits damage. Otherwise, ride the move, harvesting partials as the red dashed line remains unviolated. Alerts and automation Set alerts to “Once Per Bar Close” for stability. Bull ONE-SHOT fires when a valid buy prints (and Lock allows it). Bear ONE-SHOT fires for sells analogously. With Lock enabled, you avoid multiple pings in the same direction during a single leg—useful for webhooks or mobile notifications. Reliability and limitations The script calculates from completed bars and does not use higher-timeframe look-ahead or repainting tricks. Heikin-Ashi smoothing can lag turns slightly, which is expected and part of the design. In narrow ranges or whipsaw conditions, signals naturally thin out; if you must trade ranges, either tighten the wick filters and keep Lock ON, or add a trend/volatility filter (e.g., trade B only above EMA 200; S only below). Remember: this is an indicator, not a strategy. If you want exact statistics, port the triggers into a strategy and backtest with your chosen entry, stop, and exit rules. Final notes Wickless Heikin Ashi B/S \ is a precision timing tool: it waits for decisive, wickless HA bars, provides optional regime locking to reduce noise, and leaves clear price anchors on your chart for disciplined management. Use it with a simple framework—trend bias, fixed risk, and a straightforward exit plan—and it will keep your execution consistent without cluttering the screen or your decision-making.

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 For more information, click here. tradingview.com Heikin Ashi Up ⇒ green Heikin Ashi Down ⇒ red

HPT - Heikin-Ashi Price ToolThis overlay study can be used with an Heikin-Ashi chart and diplays the real prices for Heikin-Ashi candles as circles for each bar. If the real closing price of the bar is higher then the opening price, the circle has a green color, otherwise it is red. Here you can see the overlay : COINBASE:BTCUSD The follwing moving averages are added to the chart as well: SMA 20, 50, 200 and EMA 8 (for analyzing trend and support/resistance ). A background fill can be activated for the overall trend. I recommend to lower the opacity for the bars so that you can better see the circles for the real prices.

[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.
