Hello jimmy_NT,

Thank you for your note.

I don't believe there's a quick way to do this with an existing script, but you could certainly look at combining these two indicators from our publicly available User App Share:

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/advance-decline/

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/heiken-ashi-8/

Basically, calculate the advance/decline value, then feed the high/low/open/close values to be charted using the heiken ashi logic.

Thanks i downloaded the indicators, howver, when adding the heikin ashi, i dont know how to feed high/low/open/close.
is this done in script? or can i do it from the indicator window it self?

i did add to heiken ashi the data series to be the AdvDec indicator but not sure if this is what you recommended

by thw way is there a difference to use hits Heiken ashi indicators vs the builtin from the chart?

thanks

Hello jimmy_NT,

Thank you for your reply.

You would need to create a custom script that copies the heiken ashi indicator, but replaces each call to Open[0], High[0], Close[0], or Low[0] with calling the AdvanceDecline indicator and accessing the appropriate plot, so something like this:

HAOpen[0] = AdvanceDecline(Brushes.Lime, Brushes.Red, 0, false, false).ADDOpen[0];
HAHigh[0] = AdvanceDecline(Brushes.Lime, Brushes.Red, 0, false, false).ADDHigh[0];
HALow[0] = AdvanceDecline(Brushes.Lime, Brushes.Red, 0, false, false).ADDLow[0];
HAClose[0] = AdvanceDecline(Brushes.Lime, Brushes.Red, 0, false, false).ADDClose[0];

You'd also need to ensure you add the ADV and DEC data series in the custom indicator in OnStateChange during State == State.Configure as well since the AdvanceDecline calls them:

 else if (State == State.Configure)
{
TradingHours hours = (TradingHours.Name == "<Use instrument settings>") ? Instrument.MasterInstrument.TradingHours: TradingHours;

AddDataSeries("^ADV", new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Tick, Value = 1 }, hours.Name);
AddDataSeries("^DECL", new BarsPeriod() { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.Tick, Value = 1 }, hours.Name);
}

This would necessitate some skill at manually coding NinjaScript. While we in the support department cannot create, modify or debug a script for you, if this is a bit overwhelming you may wish to contact one of our professional NinjaScript Consultants or Educators who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script.

when i i mport the AdvDec indicator, is not calling that data already? if i use it as usual from the wizard, it does not ask me for the ADV DECL but for the ES contract....

Hello jimmy_NT,

The AdvanceDecline indicator adds the ^ADD and ^DECL data series and uses it to calculate the difference. (This is added in State.Configure)

The calculated ADDOpen ADDHigh ADDLow and ADDClose could then be used as the Open High Low and Close in a Heiken Ashi indicator.

For clarity on how scripts add and work with multiple data series, please see below.
