Indicator Heikin-Ashi Difference calculates and displays as an oscillator the difference between the Open and Close prices of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, a signal line being added. It can be used in combination with haOpen.
It has two parameters:
- Signal period – signal line calculation period;
- Signal Method – signal line calculation method.
Calculation:
HA Difference = (HAClose – HAOpen) / Point
Signal = MA(HA Difference, Period, Method)
where:
HAOpen = (PrevHAOpen + PrevHAClose) / 2.0 HAClose = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4.0
- HAClose – Heikin-Ashi candlestick closing price;
- HAOpen – Heikin-Ashi candlestick opening price;
- PrevHAClose – closing price of the previous Heikin-Ashi candlestick;
- PrevHAOpen – opening price of the previous Heikin-Ashi candlestick;
- MA – moving average with Signal period and Signal Method, based on the value of HA Difference.
