Heikin Ashi Alert

I would greatly appreciate if someone could program an indicator that draws an arrow and alerts when the normal Heikin Ashi paints 2 consecutive Up candles and 2 consecutive Down candles.

If it has been done before, can someone point me to it ?

regards,

This one has the alerts on it. I'm not sure it's the exact one you're looking for though. Looks like someone also modified it to include an email alert.

Thanks for that link, it is better than nowt as they say.

It is almost there, it misses some signals. The condition is 2 up candles and 2 down candles, both consecutive.

Alert panel, sound wav option would be a bonus.

down arrow after 2 up followed by 2 down, up arrow after 2 down followed by 2 up

Looks like somebody's done it now, I guess? So what is the point in doing it this way? Is it supposed to improve on the accuracy or, are you using it in conjunction with something else that works better with the mod?

Thanks!

Thank You Sangmane, a few problems :

1. The latest signal seems to have no arrow signal, maybe not refreshing ?

2. This is Heikin Ashi Ma, can it be the normal HA candle only ?

3. Just need the Buy & Sell arrows only, can use the normal HA candles indicator or maybe can add the alert code to the indicator attached ?

regards,

I only modified the indy which link was posted by ec Trade. By quick look into the code, I changed the following lines to meet your rules:
- for Up Arrow
to
same for Down Arrow.

all other code intact. post a chart that contain what you meant by missing arrow. to use normal HA, this indy has extrenal setting "UseT3". Set it to False.

I see what you mean, Thanks.

Is it possible to move the arrow signals further away from the candle, so it sits outside of the HA candle ?

appreciate your help.

change this:
UpArrow[pos]=ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1]-(Ask-Bid);
to
UpArrow[pos]=ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1]-(Ask-Bid)-7*Point;

and

DnArrow[pos]=ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1]+(Ask-Bid);
to
DnArrow[pos]=ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1]+(Ask-Bid)+7*Point;

adjust "7" with any other number, until you feel the distance between arrow and HA candle is enough

Sangmane, thanks for that, I am learning what to look for in the code.

Just one more question, How do I change the condition to signal when just one HA candle reversal appears ?

I know it has to do with altering these lines:

if (ExtMapBuffer3[pos]<ExtMapBuffer4[pos] && ExtMapBuffer3[pos+1]<ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1] &&
ExtMapBuffer4[pos+2]<ExtMapBuffer3[pos+2] && ExtMapBuffer4[pos+3]<ExtMapBuffer3[pos+3])

if (ExtMapBuffer3[pos]>ExtMapBuffer4[pos] && ExtMapBuffer3[pos+1]>ExtMapBuffer4[pos+1] &&
ExtMapBuffer4[pos+2]>ExtMapBuffer3[pos+2] && ExtMapBuffer4[pos+3]>ExtMapBuffer3[pos+3])

see post #7, revert the code back. or check the link posted by ecTrade, the original show arrow when one candle reverse

Thank you once again, I should have realised it was that easy.

Just testing to see which alert will be better for this method. Working well at the moment.

regards,

Hey everyone. I'm still new here and I'm looking for the heiken ashi alert too.
However I hope that the alert will start when the first bar which shows different colour for the heiken ashi closes. I hope the diagram will help.


Btw, if it has been done in other thread kindly point me the url.

Thanks for those who are willing to help.

Hi Lan,

Post the source file (mq4), it should not be difficult to add the alert

Here you go,

Thanks again for your help and I'm sorry I forgot that I'm supposed to attach the source file.

Have a nice day...

I don't get what you're doing here ... why do you need an arrow to tell you the color has changed ... the reason I use HA candles on all my charts is because you can tell at a glance they've changed ...

Hi Lan,
Sorry for the delay. Put two files below on indicator folders (replace your original Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed). Restart MT4, put only Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed_Alert on chart. Let me know if it works.

I'm sorry perhaps I did not explain it clearly enough. I just put the arrows so that it would assist any programmer to understand what I was trying to convey. What I actually meant was that those are the points where I want the alert to initiate.

To sangmane thx a lot. Actually you were quite fast...

Have a nice day everyone and god bless...

hello sangmane


Thank u vey much

Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed_Alert is working fine, but it doesnot displays the currency pair on which we got an alert.

Thus in multiple pairs it creats lot of confusion.

Kindly do the needful so that alert pop up displays the currency pair as well.

Thanx in advance

Hi Django,

Pair name added on alert
