Heiken Ashi coding explanation needed

I suspect that I am missing something obvious but could someone with more than my 1 brain cell please explain.......
(or simply explain how to get candles in sub window using buffers)

If, for instance, I have an Heiken Ashi indi which displays in the main window and then try to put it into a sub window it will not show candles in the sub window.
i.e the histograms appear to start at zero whereas if in the main window they show proper candles. If that does not make sense then check attached chart.

The relevant code section being.......


if (haOpen<haClose)
{
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=haLow;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=haHigh;
}
else
{
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=haHigh;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=haLow;
}
ExtMapBuffer3[pos]=haOpen;
ExtMapBuffer4[pos]=haClose;


Any help much appreciated
TIA

Michael

I haven't tried this out personally, but this method might provide the answers that you are looking for - scroll down to Phy's code example.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that but not what I wanted. For some reason I did not get enough history.

Surely there must be a way to get the buffers to work?

I don't have an explanation for you...but something like this seems to work...although there certainly may be an easier (or more efficient) way of doing it.

Much appreciated zz, thankyou.

Did think that I may have to do that (8 buffers) but could not get my brain cell around it this early in the morning! It (my brain cell) is still busy trying to find a consistent way to make a profit :-)

This has nothing to do with HA candles. It was a test project I did a few years ago to see what can be done with drawing candles to verious chart windows. It has many options and maybe some of it will give you some other ideas in developing your project.

the zip contains screen shots of some examples and the mq4.

Hi Keit,

Thanks for your assistance; appreciated.

1 day I may be able to get the rest of my brain cells to go to the gym.
