Vervoort Crossover Signals from Typical Price and Heikin-Ashi Averages

Summary

This indicator description outlines Sylvain Vervoort's crossover approach, based on triple exponential moving averages applied to typical price and a Heikin-Ashi close series. The crossing of the smoothed series is intended to mark trend changes. The extended version adds color changes to the fast and slow lines and directional arrows, which users can read as possible signals.

The note also lists alternative Heikin-Ashi price constructions, including open, high, low, median, weighted, and other derived values. It cautions that the approach depends on the lag introduced by the averaged Heikin-Ashi price; changing that input may require experimenting with periods and price types. The document gives no entry or exit rules beyond interpreting the displayed changes, and provides no backtest, market specification, or performance evidence. Signals should therefore be understood as an indicator description rather than a demonstrated profitable system.

Key ideas

• The crossover compares triple exponential averages of typical price and a Heikin-Ashi price series.
• Line color changes and arrows are visual aids for interpreting potential trend shifts.
• The indicator provides multiple Heikin-Ashi price definitions for experimentation.
• Changing the price input can alter lag, so periods and price types may need adjustment.
• The description supplies no empirical performance results or complete trading rules.
