Heiken Ashi question

[Sakkers]

Hi,

Can someone help with the basic coding of the following logic, i know its probably very simple but i have no idea how.

For example:

if (8 green heiken ashi bars followed by two red heiken ashi bars)

Hello Sakkers,

For getting Heiken Ashi values you can use the Heiken Ashi indicator from within ninjascript. Here is an example on how to get the Heiken Ashi open value from Ninjascript.

double value = HeikenAshi().HAOpen[0];
Print("The current Heiken-Ashi open value is " + value.ToString());

For your question about the logic of detecting if (8 green bars followed by 2 red bars) you would use something similar to this:

 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if(CurrentBar < BarsRequired) return;
			
			for(int i = 2; i < 10; i++)
			{
				if(HeikenAshi().HAClose[i] > HeikenAshi().HAOpen[i])
				{
					greenBar = true; // set to true if there is a green bar
				}
				else
				{
					greenBar = false; // set to false if there is no green bar
					break;
				}
			}
			
			for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
			{
				if(HeikenAshi().HAClose[i] < HeikenAshi().HAOpen[i])
				{
					redBar = true; // set to true if there is a red bar
				}
				else
				{
					redBar = false; // set to false if there is no red bar
					break;
				}
			}
			
			if(greenBar == true && redBar == true)
			{
				//Do something here	
			}
		}

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
