Route: /indicators/heikinashi/

What It Does

Heikin Ashi transforms OHLC data into smoothed candles. It is useful for identifying cleaner trend structure and filtering noise.

Formula

HA Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4

HA Open = (HA Open_prev + HA Close_prev) / 2

HA High = max(High, HA Open, HA Close)

HA Low = min(Low, HA Open, HA Close)

Parameters

  • period - default 14

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/heikinashi.hpp>
auto ha = std::make_unique<nonabt::HEIKINASHI>(data(), 14);

Common Usage

  • Use Heikin Ashi to filter noisy candles.
  • Use it to visualize trend direction more clearly.
  • Combine with moving averages or momentum indicators.

Practical Pattern

Heikin Ashi is often used as a confirmation layer rather than a standalone entry signal.
