Hello there,

I am looking for an indicator to hide the current candle and only show the closed candle, for example of I am in 4hr chart, the indicator will automatically the current unclosed candle, when the candle is closed then it gets printed on the chart.

why I need such candle?
I find my self trading so much better this way, I like to base my decisions on printed candles

I coded this some time ago for someone with a similar request it should suit your requirements.

Thank you so much for replying cja, however I am using heikin ashi bars, and it does not seem to work properly with it. is there a way around it? check pic below {image}

Standard Heiken Ashi option added.
No offense intended but it might have been really helpful to have mentioned that you use HA candles, this is a good example of not supplying the relevant information with a request and why you see comments from coders about their inability to read minds.

Hi my friend, Thank you very much for your previous coding on below indicator, I a have been using it since then, However there is a very small issue that kept on troubling me, I use heikin ashi bars and sometimes the indicator fails to completely hide/cover the candle, you see this makes my decision process less effective. Please look the pic below, hopefully you can solve this issue within the code.

I am currently away from my database for the next week so cannot access the indicator mql4 file. What version of HA are you using? as it the indicator was coded to work with the standard HA candles.
