Topic: Heikin-Ashi candlestick
Posted: Thursday, April 19, 2007 12:12:58 AM
From another reference;
===========================================
The heikin-ashi candlestick technique uses modified
open-high-low-close (OHLC) values and displays them
as candlesticks but | had them converted to paint bar
studies . The modified values are computed using these
definitions:

haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4
haOpen = (haOpen (previous bar) + haClose (previous
bar))/2
haHigh = Maximum(H, haOpen, haClose)
haLow = Minimum(L, haOpen, haClose)

=============================================
well I managed the first 2
as haOpen = (o+h+l+c)/4
haClose = (( (o1+h1+l1+c1)/4)+( (o1+h1+l1+c1)/4))/2

but when I tried the haHigh = MIN(H(((o1+h1+l1+c1)/4)+((o1+h1+l1+c1)/4))/2, (o+h+l+c)/4)

& the haLow = MAX(L(((o1+h1+l1+c1)/4)+((o1+h1+l1+c1)/4))/2, (o+h+l+c)/4)

It accepted it but gave erronous results (according to excel)

also at a loss as to how to alter the colour of the candles - thinking that if it can be done with BOP.....

Any suggestions pls??

Thanks,

>>The Real Time data is only accessible from within TeleChart. This is true even when using the TeleChart Developers Kit (TCDK).

What about historical intra-day data?

>>You could export the data at fixed intervals and use a third party program such as Excel to analyze the data.

Could not interrupt the trading day to do this as an update & export takes serious time, but if there was a means of getting say 5, 10 & 15 min data out after hours, then that may be an option

>> Personal Criteria Formulas. PCFs work exclusively with daily data.


So is there another way to access the realtime / intraday data ? visual basic for instance or does the sdk only access the daily data also ?

Of course, none expected, Thanks

Many Thanks for that,

Indeed I am looking to find issues that trade within a range but habitually open with a gap - strategy would be to buy at close & sell at open - OR if the data could be finessed even more find what times of day they habitually make their HOD /LOD & aim for that. ( not sure if the TC platform will accept programming for its intraday data ?? ))

Risk control would be partially in the form of a time stop - ie one can not expect to get this right every day & hard stops would probably get murdered, but if the issue is ranging there is a fair amount of probability that where it does not go today it may go in the next few days - additionally a few strategically placed options spreads would perhaps help

Alternatively - If data could be found for the times of day that the issues volatility peaked & troughed maybe that would be an alternative play, not yet found a source for that tho ?? any ideas welcome ;)
now the next bit would be to make some easy scans with the above pcfs & tabulate some data

On a similar idea - how about finding stocks that statistically have a tendency to gap up / down & ranking them by probability & gap size & usual direction.

Maybe likely gap direction can be found in correlation / divergence with an index ??

i.e. I note that some issues gap almost every morning with a frequency of m around 2 gaps down to 3 gaps up (from observation rather than stats). Now I would like to identify & quantify the likely outcomes from a statistical point of view.

on a similar vein, has anyone found characteristics that can be scanned for to identify probable overnight gappers?

There is a difference (that seems to have been missed) between promoting other company's (which I was not & have no incentive to do) & providing usefull information for the benefit of fellow users (who may even find more uses for your product).
