2004 Feb: eSignal_HeikinAshi.efs

[JimS]

Hi Jason,

Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct spot. I just signed up 8P

Anyway, I loaded the Heikin-Ashi formula into a 55T (YM #F) chart and it truncates at around 12:44 this afternoon.

Is there a setting (or something) that I can change to get more of this formula to show historically speaking?

I'm just now getting back into eSig (user of Investor/RT)... have only used the feed aspect for some time... I had no idea eSig has come so far with the software.

TIA
Jim

The efs is set to show 200 historical bars. If you would like to plot more increase that value in the following line
if (iCntr > 200) iCntr = 0;

Problem with HeikinAshi EFS

I can't get a HA chart to display that is less than 3 minutes. I've tried increasing/decreasing the number of bars to no avail. Works fine on 33t and 133t charts too, just not on 2 min or 1 min ones??

TIA,
Bob

Hello Bob,

What symbol are you having trouble with?

[Bob A.]

Hi Jason,

Euro FX ( 6E #F ). Sorry, I should have mentioned that it works fine on a 1 minute Russell 2K ( AB #F ).

On another topic, any chance of getting an Inverted Fisher Transform CCI efs?

Thanks for your help,
Bob

Hello Bob,

Here's a modified version of the Heikin-Ashi for Euro FX.

In regards to your formula request, I will give it future consideration. You may want to also submit your request to New Study Suggestions.

Thanks very much, Jason. Funny thing though. I was away Friday and booted up my 6E #F layout today before I read your post re the new FX version of the HA efs and the 1 minute clip displayed fine! Go figure!? Is there some automatic EFS updating mechanism that I don't know about at work here? LOL. Whatever, I'll take it and run.

Thanks again,
Bob

Jason,

I would like to be able to display HA.efs in the upper part of charts so that I could overlay the paintbars over the bar lines.
Here's how they look on tradestation.

Hello luvette,

Set your advanced chart to line type and apply the modified version below.

Jason,

the H-Ashi bars r great but a little thin, tried to make them thicker but could not find the the right line to edit in cript. Would like to make them 3x thicker.

The candle body is defined in line 90 of the efs (see below)
drawLineRelative(0, retArray[2], 0, retArray[3], PS_SOLID, 3, vColor, "Body"+iCntr);
The thickness is set by the value 3 that follows PS_SOLID.
Note that as you increase the thickness of the line its end points will become slightly rounded.

New HA_OC and HA_DiffCO Formulas for FOREX symbols

Here's some modified versions of the HA_OC and HA_DiffCO for use with Forex symbols. They multiply the original return array by a factor of 10,000. This factor may be adjusted on line 72 of the HA_OC and line 99 of the HA_DiffCO.

Heikin Ashi 200+ perriod?

How do you get the Heikin Ashi efs to plot more than standard 200 periods? I want to back test with Heikin Ashi beyond the 200 periods.

[eSignal_JasonK]

Hello camyug,

The 200 limit only controls the number of bars that are drawn on the chart. The data behind the scenes is not limited to the 200 bars, so you should be able to back test more that 200 bars currently. If you do want to change the limit on the display, open up the formula in the editor and change the "200" in the following line of code, which is near the top of main().

if (iCntr > 200) iCntr = 0;
