You can still program H-A indicators in MS without having any addons... xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 xOpen = (PREV + Ref(Close,-1))/2 xHigh = Max(High, xOpen, xClose) xLow = Min(Low, xOpen, xClose) Program your normal explorations using these instead. e.g. you might look for a H-A MA crossover z:=mov(xClose,21,e)>mov(xClose,55,e); z and alert(z=0,2); etc Hope this helps. wabbit :D

Sam, Forgot to nest the Max and Min functions... try this: xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4; xOpen = (PREV + Ref(Close,-1))/2; xHigh = Max(Max(High, xOpen), xClose); xLow = Min(Min(Low, xOpen), xClose); Sorry 'bout that! wabbit :D

Sam MS only allows candle charts to be displayed for equity data. To be able to view H-A charts in MS you will have to download your data from your data provider, who will normally provide OHLCV data (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume). You will need to convert this data into H-A using the formulas provided, using some other third party software, like Excel, Downloader or similar. Save the reformatted data as a new equity, then MS will be able to display the H-A candlesticks. I am sure there has been some work done on this in the forum previously.. see http://forum.equis.com/viewtopic.php?t=735&highlight=heikin
