Heiken Ashi Color-Change Trading System

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an expert advisor that trades when a smoothed Heiken Ashi indicator changes candle color. It checks for the change at bar close and opens a trade in response, using the transition between blue and red as the signal. The system depends on a compiled indicator file, and its trading logic is based on the indicator’s direction changes.

The document mentions test results for EURJPY on a four-hour chart in 2015, using the advisor’s default inputs. Stop loss and take profit were disabled in those tests. It provides no performance figures or detailed test methodology in the supplied text, so the example does not establish robustness across markets, periods, or parameter choices.

Key ideas

  • The advisor generates a trade signal when the indicator candle color changes at bar close.
  • The system uses a smoothed Heiken Ashi indicator to determine directional changes.
  • The cited test covers EURJPY on a four-hour chart during 2015.
  • The described test used default inputs and did not use stop loss or take profit.
