Smoothed candles that hide small noise.
Each candle is averaged with the previous one, so a trend looks like a run of same-coloured candles. The series 'direction' is +1 when the smoothed close is above the smoothed open.
It is a way of looking, not a prediction: the prices are averages, not real trade prices.
Worked out by the same code the builder uses, on stored daily candles. Move a setting and the line moves with it. This is what happened, not what will happen.
Gate: Heikin Ashi direction is above 0.
Never use Heikin Ashi values as entry or stop prices. They are not prices anyone traded at.
