Change Heiken Ashi indy

Post by JulesvH »

Goodday,

I want to change the standard Empty4 Heiken Ashi indicator.
No big changes, only want the candle body to have a width of 2 instead of the standard 3.
(I know I can change it in the properties window, but when changing tf it goes automatically back to 3 and that is buggering me.....)

Code: Select all

I changed "#property indicator_width3 3" AND "#property indicator_width4 3" to 2 and recompiled with no luck. Doesnt seem to do the trick.
I also changed "SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0, 3, color3); AND SetIndexStyle(3,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0, 3, color4); to 2.
Also not the solution.
Any help appreciated.

here is a simple fix...

SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0);//, 1, color1);
SetIndexBuffer(0, ExtMapBuffer1);
SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0);//, 1, color2);
SetIndexBuffer(1, ExtMapBuffer2);
SetIndexStyle(2,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0);//, 3, color3);
SetIndexBuffer(2, ExtMapBuffer3);
SetIndexStyle(3,DRAW_HISTOGRAM, 0);//, 3, color4);
SetIndexBuffer(3, ExtMapBuffer4);
