Heikin Ashi Candle OverlayHello Friend,
This is a very simple script for fun to demonstrate the new ability to change the colors of attributes pertaining to the plotbar() and plotcandle() functions using series inputs.
For Heiken Ashi lovers, this script does several things. It gives you both bars and hollow candles with Heikin Ashi values - something TV does not currently support.
It also gives you the ability to see your favorite HA candles while on the main series plot. When viewing indicators in the "Heikin Ashi" candle setting on PulseWire, the input values are "smoothed' with HA values. This skews the way your indicators behave as the OLHC are calculated averages. Only the regular candle settings will give your indicators "real close" etc.
By 'Muting' the main series bars by toggling the 👁 symbol next to your ticker id, it makes the normal candles invisible. You then overlay this script, which allows you to see the HA Candle of your choice, while not affecting the way your indicators behave.
You now have the best of 2 worlds. Smoothed behavior of price action to help visualize trends, and accurate indicator values derived from actual OLHC data.
Plus, something about hollow HA candles is just kind of clean and soothing isn't it?
Cheers,
Bjorgum
Hollow Setting:
Bars
Or just plain old regular, but on the main chart

{Gunzo} Heiken Ashi RibbonsHeiken Ashi Ribbons is a trend-following indicator which gives entry and exit points for short-term, medium-term and long term trading (using Exponential Moving Averages and Heiken Ashi formulas).
OVERVIEW :
The Heiken Ashi Ribbons indicator is composed of 3 moving average ribbons (slow, normal and fast) that are computed using the Heiken Ashi formulas. The 3 ribbons give a clear vision of the current trend as they use moving averages that smooth out the price and filter noise from short term fluctuations. In a simplified way, you can consider each ribbon as a moving average with a larger body size.
If the price is above the slow ribbon, we consider the asset as trending up in the short term (trending down otherwise). If the price is above the fast ribbon, we consider the asset as trending up in the long term (trending down otherwise).
CALCULATION :
First of all, to compute a ribbon for this indicator we calculate a moving average (EMA by default) for common sources (OHLC) :
EMA (open), EMA (high), EMA (low), EMA (close)
We then apply the Heiken Ashi formulas to the moving averages calculated previously.
HA (open) = HA (open) previous + HA (close) previous
HA (close) = ( EMA (open) + EMA (high) + EMA (low) + EMA (close) ) / 4
HA (high) = max( EMA (open), EMA (close), EMA (high) )
HA (low) = min ( EMA (open), EMA (close), EMA (low) )
The ribbon displayed (by default) on the chart is the area between HA (open) and HA (close).
SETTINGS :
1st Moving average length : Length of the slow moving average
2nd Moving average length : Length of the normal moving average
3rd Moving average length : Length of the fast moving average
Moving average method : Moving average calculation method (EMA : Exponential Moving Average, SMA : Simple Moving Average, WMA : Weighted Moving Average)
Ribbon type : standard ribbon uses the area between HA (open) and HA (close). Large ribbon uses the area between HA (low) and HA (high)
Display ribbon as candles : change the type of visualization between area and candles
Display short term buy/sell signals : Display short term buy/sell signals (crosses) when the fast moving average and normal moving average are crossing
Display long term buy/sell signals : Display long buy/sell signals (circles) when the fast moving average and slow moving average are crossing
Display ribbon trending up signals : Display ribbon direction change (triangle up) when the trend of the ribbon changes to trending up
Display ribbon trending down signals : Display ribbon direction change (triangle down) when the trend of the ribbon changes to trending down
VISUALIZATIONS :
This indicator has 2 possible visualizations :
Ribbons : the ribbons can be considered as enhanced moving averages for trading purposes. They represent the area between the Heiken Ashi of the moving average of the open and closing price. The color of the moving average line is green when the ribbon is trending up and red when the ribbon is trending down.
Signals : Various signals can be displayed at the bottom of the chart (Buy/Sell signals, Ribbon direction changes signals).
USAGE :
This indicator can be used in many strategies, just like when you are using multiple moving averages. You should test these strategies and use the one that best fits your trading style.
Strategy based on crossovers :
When the fast ribbon crosses above the normal ribbon, it is a short term buy signal (it is recommended to wait for a confirmation)
When the fast ribbon crosses under the normal ribbon, it is a short term sell signal (it is recommended to wait for a confirmation)
When the fast ribbon crosses above the slow ribbon, it is a long term buy signal
When the fast ribbon crosses over the slow ribbon, it is a long term buy signal
Strategy based on price position :
When the prices closes above the ribbon, it is a buy signal (long term if above slow ribbon, short term if above fast ribbon)
When the prices closes below the ribbon, it is a sell signal (long term if below slow ribbon, short term if below fast ribbon)
Strategy based on price bouncing :
When the price decreases and reaches the green long term ribbon, the price candles may not be able to cross the ribbon. If the price increases, we consider that move as a bounce on the ribbon, which is a buy signal
When the price increases and reaches a red long term ribbon, the price candles may not be able to cross the ribbon. If the price decreases, we consider that move as a bounce on the ribbon, which is a sell signal
Strategy based on ribbon direction :
When the direction of the ribbon changes, the trend of the asset is changing which may lead to a crossover to the next candles if the trend is continuing in that direction (it is recommended to validate the entry points with a second indicator as this strategy may have some false signals).

Composite Any Currency Strength IndexThis is a flexible currency strength indicator and you can adjust it to any currency you wish 'to measure'. By default, it is set to measure USD major pairs. Indicator calculates every pair you list, and plots one composite chart in the form of Heikin Ashi candles. Basically, you will get USD index in this case. Similarly, you can get AUD, EUR, CAD, JPY, CHF, etc indexes by specifying corresponding symbols. Remember about base and quote currencies and location of each for correct calculations. Simple adjustments in the script needed if you want to value USD by using USD in both base and quote (counter) currencies.
For example, when calculating USD strength by looking into USDJPY (not into JPYUSD) symbols, you will need to add minus "-" before corresponding security in the script itself, not in the Settings Inputs.
Default study script (with JPYUSD):
// Inputs
...
string sec3 = input(defval="JPYUSD", type=input.symbol, title="Symbol")
...
h_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, high)
l_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, low)
o_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, open)
c_sec3 = security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, close)
Adjusted study script with USDJPY:
// Inputs
...
string sec3 = input(defval="USDJPY", type=input.symbol, title="Symbol")
...
h_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, high)
l_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, low)
o_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, open)
c_sec3 = -security(heikinashi(sec3), timeframe.period, close)
Unfortunately, I am not a coder specialist and perhaps someone here could improve this indicator for easier and more friendly adjustments. But thanks to variety of symbols on PulseWire , you can ignore any changes in the script, and just use symbols with corresponding counter currency offered by this great platform.
Bollinger Bands, 2 x RMA, 4 x SMA/EMA were added for deeper analysing of the index. Other indicators with ability to select data sources (like CCI, StochRSI, Momentum etc) can be separately added to a current chart, but use Composite Any Currency Strength Index data as the source for analysing displayed pair, i.e. by selecting source - Composite Any Currency Strength Index: SMA Close or EMA HLC.
Thank you and good luck everyone!
