Heiken Ashi Smoothed Indicator (MT5) - Free Download - Best Forex Indicators

Introduction to the Heiken Ashi Smoothed Indicator

The Heiken Ashi Smoothed indicator is a very popular trading tool. It helps to see clear trend momentum without much noise.

The logic behind the smoothed version of Heiken Ashi candles is simple: instead of using “raw” prices” for calculations, it’s using smoothed/filtered/averaged prices instead.

That usually filters out some false signals and makes it easier to use.

This version can use some of the 4 basic types of averages for smoothing:

Simple moving average (SMA).
Exponential moving average (EMA).
Smoothed moving average (SMMA).
Linear weighted moving average (LWMA).

Additionally, you can use a “step” filter (in pips) to filter out value changes that are smaller than the desired threshold (if the step is set to <=0, then that filter is not used). The default indicator settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.

Bottom Line

The Heiken Ashi Smoothed indicator is well worth adding to your trading collection but remember about having realistic expectations. Just like any other technical analysis tool, is not capable of providing accurate signals 100% of the time. Thus, it will provide false signals occasionally. Its performance will vary significantly depending on market conditions. Feel free to develop your own trading system based around it.
