Try the following formula:

HaClose = (open + high + low + close)/4;
HaOpen = AMA( Ref( HaClose, 1 ), 0.5 );
HaHigh = Max( high, Max( HaClose, HaOpen ) );
HaLow = Min( low, Min( HaClose, HaOpen ) );
xDiff = (HaHigh - Halow) * 10000;
PlotCandleStick1( HaOpen, HaHigh, HaLow, HaClose, "", colorRed, StyleSymbolNone );
UpdateColor(HaClose >= HaOpen, colorGreen);

OK, works well.
But you should implement that as as "View - chart style"

And because it works so fine there is the next question:
My old application tradesignalonline was able to "save" the charts.
Thats why i could use normal candlesticks for stock charts daily AND heikin ashi for commodities weekly (comm i trade weekly with hekin ashi)

Is it possible to do so in QS?
(of course, i know change watchlist and than change layout - thats ok)
But is there a way to "associate a layout to a watchlist?"
(Please take my foolish questions as ideas to improve QS)
;-)

Hi,

It is possible to directly access O,H,L,C values of Heikin-Ashi candle? I understand that we can use the above mentioned formula, but that will make my code bit lengthy.

Thanks

You must use the above formula. Just add it then use the "HaClose", "HaOpen"... variables.

OK, I need one more information, in QS what is equivalent of "Cum(close)", where Cum is defined as :

=========
Cumulate

cum (DATA ARRAY)
Calculates a Cumulative Sum of DATA ARRAY beginning from the first period in the chart.

The formula cum(1) calculates an indicator that rises one point for each bar since the beginning of the chart.
The formula cum(Close) calculates the cumulative total of all closing prices from the beginning of the chart.
=========

Thanks
