Disliked{quote} Hi LastSAMURAI, thanks for explaining. However, I think you dont get my problem. I turned on Helsinki candles and I wanted to use the Helsinki candles instead of "normal" ones. I'm just saying that the Helsinki candles does not repaint itself against the market prices. As you can see from the bid line, the candle body of the helsinki should repaint itself to where the bid line was. Instead, there is an almost 80 pip price gap on the last candle (on the daily time frame of AUDUSD). If you refer the my attached picture, you will see that there...Ignored
I have tested the HA candles draw against the HA draw of the Heiken Ashi.mq4 indicator supplied with MT4 by MetaQuotes. The only difference, which I coded into our HA candles, is that our HA candles will show price gaps whereas normally all price gaps are filled by the normal HA draw. And this was mentioned in the User Notes. And this slight change is not causing any difference when switching from a lower TF to a large TF, or switching in any other manner. In other words, aside from showing price gaps our HA candles are drawn exactly the way they are drawn by the MT4 supplied HA indicator.
To investigate this further, I suggest you supply a picture showing a difference between our (and the MT4 supplied indy) and that of whatever indy is drawing them otherwise. And supply that other .mq4 file so we can research the coding.
However, I suggest that you will not find such an indicator. Please check out the most recent coding from MT4 in their supplied HA candle indicator, because you will find that BID price is not anywhere used in the creation of HA candles. Only O/H/L/C prices are used! This is why, no matter what TF chart you view HA candles on, and no matter what chart TF you switched from, the bid line really has nothing to do with the HA candle shown. In other words, the current high or low of the HA candle body is not a function of past or current bid price.
