HAS Indicator
Still no arrows......
Do you need to create an entirely new indicator? I started with metaeditor and created a new custom indicator, added the arrows and pasted the HAS indicator code under the Custom indicator iteration function, what else would I need to add to get the arrows on screen?

what the concept of the indicator.....when generate it generate signal?
an ebook could help me.......
is HAS Heikin Ashi? I made 2 indicators to alert for Heikin Ashi DM change of colour
Muito obrigado Camisa.
Thank you!
we tried similar thing with xo - multi-mtf signals - Very hard and inconvenient to trade - especially combined in one:
- while tf0 - 1 bar, higher tf - (60min - 12 of 5 min bars) - and it's open - signal changes - whole 12 bars wide floor shifts and moves as it's goes, arrows appear and disappear - drives codetrs/testers crasy - (traders go nuts) - visual perception gets too complicated, to confusing and misleading 4 interpretation (even for mtf fans) -
so we tryed it back and force with different ways and approaches - and we didn't liked it
our experuience - the best visual - still - bar type(has) or histo(xo) as is...
(p.s. if you heard people accusing all mtfs in repainting- - wait untill you addsignals (on chart or sw)- consider you didn't heard nothing yet..." : - ))))
what the concept of the indicator.....when generate it generate signal? an ebook could help me.......
There are five primary signals that identify trends and buying opportunities:
- Hollow candles with no lower "shadows" indicate a strong uptrend: let your profits ride!
- Hollow candles signify an uptrend: you might want to add to your long position, and exit short positions.
- One candle with a small body surrounded by upper and lower shadows indicates a trend change: risk-loving traders might buy or sell here, while others will wait for confirmation before going short or long.
- Filled candles indicate a downtrend: you might want to add to your short position, and exit long positions.
- Filled candles with no higher shadows identify a strong downtrend: stay short until there's a change in trend.
These signals show that locating trends or opportunities becomes a lot easier with this system. The trends are not interrupted by false signals as often, and are thus more easily spotted. Furthermore, opportunities to buy during times of consolidation are also apparent

As im not a programmer, I would appreciate some input.
I have tried to add arrows to the following indicator (HAS) so that a change in color of a closed bar is marked out on the chart. Based upon online tutorials, I took the original indicator and made some changes, I compiled it and it comes up with no errors or warning - but no arrows. If you could look at the code and tell me what is missing it would be appreciated. Thank you.
