π TrendHeikinMultiMA β Advanced Trend Algorithm
The TrendHeikinMultiMA algorithm is designed to calculate trend values from price data, using the Heikin-Ashi formula to smooth these values and applying different types of moving averages (ALMA, HMA, SMA, SWMA, VWMA, WMA, ZLEMA, or EMA).
Although Heikin-Ashi values are used internally, the chart does not display traditional Heikin-Ashi candles. Instead, it draws trend lines based on the smoothed values, making market direction easier to interpret without the visual complexity of candlestick charts.
π 1. The Role of Smoothing
Since the trend values are derived from Heikin-Ashi smoothing combined with a moving average, the color change in TrendHeikinMultiMA does not happen immediately when the price crosses the trend line:
- πΉ The price may temporarily move above or below the trend line without triggering a color change.
- πΉ This happens because the indicator waits for a significant and sustained difference between the smoothed open and close values to confirm an actual trend reversal.
β Advantage in Interpretation
This intentional delay in the color change helps avoid false signals. In a traditional candlestick chart, the price might briefly cross the trend line and trigger premature signals.
- π₯ For example, even if the current price is above a bearish trend line, the indicator will remain red (bearish) until the smoothed values confirm that the close is consistently higher than the open.
- π© Similarly, to switch to green (bullish), the Heikin-Ashi-based moving average must confirm that the close consistently exceeds the open.
π 2. Applying Moving Averages to Heikin-Ashi Values
- π Moving Average Selection:
- The user can choose between different moving average types (ALMA, HMA, SMA, SWMA, VWMA, WMA, ZLEMA, and EMA).
- Each MA type applies a specific mathematical method to weight and smooth the historical values of the open, close, high, and low derived from Heikin-Ashi.
π 3. Advantages of Using TrendHeikinMultiMA vs. Traditional Candlesticks
- π Noise Reduction:
- Traditional candlesticks often display high volatility and scattered data, making it harder to identify the overall trend.
- TrendHeikinMultiMA smooths out this data, filtering out minor fluctuations and eliminating abrupt swings, allowing traders to focus on the primary market direction.
β Conclusion
In summary, TrendHeikinMultiMA confirms a trend change (bullish or bearish) only when the smoothed open and close valuesβcalculated from Heikin-Ashi and processed through the selected moving averageβconsistently show that the market behavior has reversed its direction.
This ensures that signals are more reliable and less affected by the noise seen in traditional candlestick charts. ππ
