is it possible to display Heiken-Ashi bars but feed real prices to indicators?

[alanlopen]

I use this addon Heiken-Ashi-Accurate https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...-barstype-nt8/ to display HA candle, but from what I understand this feed the HA prices to all indicators on the chart, indicators applied to the main chart and also in new panels.
Instead of adding a new data series, is it possible to modify heiken-ashi-accurate-barstype-nt8 so that it prints HA candles on the chart, but feeds real prices to whatever indicator is attached to the chart?

Hi Alan, thanks for your question. There is the Heiken Ashi indicator that you can use which will not change the underlying data series:

Yes - in fact, if you wanted to feed the HA to the indicators you would have more work on your hands but feeding them straight prices is what the platform does by default if you're using an indicator to display the HA.

do you confirm this doesn't apply to a BarType like https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...-barstype-nt8/ ?

Hi Alan, When you use the Heiken Ashi bar type this will be fed to all indicators that you apply to the chart.

I haven't installed that, but if it is a BarsType instead of an indicator, then it is modifying the OHLC values of the bars, and those modified values would be seen by indicators downstream. You should just try it - if you have it installed check the Data Box and see if the OHLC are the modified ones or the original ones. What you see in the data box is what indicators will see (unless you change the default configuration).
