Simple Trend Indicator (Heikin-Ashi)
A momentum oscillator using Heikin-Ashi smoothed data to filter trend direction with zero-line crosses.
This indicator calculates the normalized deviation of Heikin-Ashi OHLC values from their Simple Moving Average (SMA), then averages these deviations into a single oscillator. It simplifies trend detection by:
Reducing noise via Heikin-Ashi smoothing.
Highlighting momentum shifts through a zero-line cross system (bullish/bearish).
Providing clear visual signals with color-coded plots and directional dots.
Originality:
Unlike standard momentum oscillators, this tool uniquely combines:
Heikin-Ashi normalization for cleaner trend analysis.
Multi-component averaging (high, open, low, close) to balance sensitivity.
Minimalist design for clutter-free charting.
How It Works:
Data Input: Fetches Heikin-Ashi OHLC values using request.security().
Momentum Calculation: For each Heikin-Ashi component:
Computes % deviation from its SMA: (value − SMA(value, length)) / SMA(value, length) * 100.
Oscillator: Averages deviations of all four components into one line (sum).
Signals:
Bullish: Oscillator > 0 (green).
Bearish: Oscillator < 0 (red).
Cross Confirmation: Dots (⦿) mark zero-line crosses.
Usage:
Trend Following: Enter long/short on sustained oscillator breaks above/below zero.
Reversal Watch: Zero-line crosses may hint at weakening momentum.
Filter: Combine with volume or support/resistance levels.
⚠️Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and does not provide guaranteed results. It should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods and proper risk management practices.
