additional time series - heiken ashi

[trader3000a]

Hi,
say i have a primary series (1 minute candles) taking entries if it makes 2 green bars, but only if the most recently closed candle of a higher series (60 minute candles) closed green, like this:

}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 50);
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 50, false);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 1
|| CurrentBars[1] < 1)
return;

// Set 1
if ((Close[0] > Open[0])
&& (Closes[1][1] > Opens[1][1])
&& (Close[1] > Open[1]))
{
EnterLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), Median[0], "");
}


but i want that 60 minute higher time frame series to be heiken ashi instead of standard candles, do i write it like this instead:?

AddHeikenAshi(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);

or is that missing the add data series instruction and won't work?

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

AddHeikenAshi() could be used to add a 60-minute Heiken Ashi series to your script. The code would look something like this.

// Add a 60 minute Heiken Ashi Bars object for the ES 12-21 contract - BarsInProgress index = 1
AddHeikenAshi("ES 12-21", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60, MarketDataType.Last );
