Description:
Heikin-Ashi with smoothing
Version: 2.1 07/19/2011
Formula Parameters: Default:
Bullish Candles Color.lime
Bearish Candles Color.red
Wick Color.grey
Smoothing None
T3 Periods 3
T3 V Factor 0.5
KAMA Periods 2
Notes:
In version 2.1
- is deleted the limitation on visible bar quantities
- add possibility to change wick color
- is deleted the possibility to change efsTitle from main, because this functionality is not supported
- is corrected "Division by zero" mistake for KAMA Smoothing with Period = 2 (when current and previous closes are the same)
