Doug Hayman Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I like trading with Range Candles and found that introducing Heiken Ashi candles to the mix helps my trend trading with additional noise filtering. With HA active, and when using Range Bar Size=4 for MESZ20 contract, I noticed that some (not all) of the range candles exceed size 4. I was tipped off when I saw some of my Candle Countdowns displaying things like "-1.732 / 4.00r", as an example. I understand the Heiken Ashi formula for calculating traditional candles, but can you shed some light on HA Range Candle calculation please? In this combo environment, Range Candles no longer close out at the High/Low of the Range bar, so it is more difficult to trade with anticipated Buy or Sell Stops, for example. Is this a bug or intended functionality? Also, similar behavior for Kase/HA combo candles (although I never use these). Thanks in advance.

Jerry Medved Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 the HA formula is applied after whatever underlying chart type computation, and therefore is not restricted by the underlying chart type's candle size, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Hayman Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 OK, I'll just have to get my head around that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
