Library HeikinAshiTrendUtilities

This library contains reusable Heikin Ashi helpers for building Pine scripts that use Heikin Ashi as more than a candle style.

It centralizes the Heikin Ashi foundation, HA-based oscillator engines, streak and confirmed-trend logic, Pressure Meter helpers, max-move scanning, Fib Backbone structure helpers, and Primary Trend helpers so those parts do not need to be rewritten across multiple scripts.

Everything on the example chart is materially driven by the library, whether through the Heikin Ashi calculations themselves, the HA-based oscillator and pressure engine, the predictive close logic, the smoothed HA overlay, the Fib Backbone context window, or the structure geometry used to project key analytical visuals.

How to use

Import the library near the top of your script in global scope, alongside any other imports, before you start calling its helpers.

Typical placement:
• //version=6
• indicator(...) or strategy(...)
• import MYNAMEISBRANDON/HeikinAshiTrendUtilities/1 as haUtils

For more information on libraries and incorporating them into your scripts, see the Libraries section of the Pine Script User Manual: tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/concepts/libraries/

➖Heikin Ashi Core Helpers➖

These helpers handle the basic building blocks of Heikin Ashi. They let a script create standard HA candles, estimate the price needed to flip the current HA candle, and generate a smoothed HA version for a cleaner trend view. In other words, this region provides the core HA math used to build the rest of the library’s trend, engine, and structure tools.

➖HA Oscillator Foundation Helpers➖

These helpers turn raw Heikin Ashi candle movement into a usable oscillator foundation. They measure the HA candle’s bullish or bearish range, normalize that movement so it can be compared more consistently across bars, and build upper/lower guide levels that help a script judge when that oscillator is stretching into stronger trend pressure. In other words, this region creates the base signal that the HA Blend, HA Range Base, color engine, and Pressure Meter can build from.

haSignedRangePct(haHigh, haLow, haClose, haIsBull, haIsBear)

➖HA Blend Engine Helpers➖

These helpers take the prepared HA oscillator source and turn it into a smoother trend engine by blending multiple EMA pairs together. They let the script choose a faster, more balanced, or slower blend profile, then optionally smooth that final output one more time. In other words, this region builds the more layered, trend-following version of the HA oscillator engine.

These helpers take the prepared HA oscillator source and smooth it in a more direct way than the Blend engine. Instead of combining multiple EMA pairs, they use one selected smoothing length and MA type to create a cleaner base trend signal, with the option to smooth that result one more time. In other words, this region builds the simpler, more straightforward version of the HA oscillator engine.

belowZeroFallColor (color): Color used when src is below zero and falling
belowLowerFallColor (color): Color used when src is below the lower guide and falling
belowZeroRiseColor (color): Color used when src is below zero and rising
Returns: Resolved visual color

➖HA Structure Scan Helpers➖

This helper scans a chosen lookback window and finds the strongest completed move inside it. It compares bullish and bearish candidates in the same scan, then returns whichever move was stronger along with the start and end anchors. In other words, this region gives a script a reusable way to locate the dominant move that can later be used for Fib Backbone structure, Primary Max Move logic, or other trend-structure work. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

haScanMaxMove(lookback, includeCurrentBar, highSeries, lowSeries)

➖HA Streak Helpers➖

These helpers let a script keep track of active Heikin Ashi streaks. They determine whether the current HA sequence is bullish or bearish, count how long that streak has been running, assign a tier color based on streak length, and measure how far price has moved from the streak’s starting point. In other words, this region helps turn raw HA trend runs into usable streak state, color, and percent-move data for candles, rows, labels, and trend readouts. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

➖Confirmed HA Trend Helpers➖

These helpers let a script work with a slower, confirmation-based HA trend instead of flipping immediately on the first opposite HA candle. They track the currently confirmed direction, count how many opposite candles are building toward the next possible flip, project the confirmed trend using regular-price body or wick anchors, and measure how far that confirmed trend has moved from its confirmed start. In other words, this region helps scripts build a more stable HA trend model that filters out some of the noise of raw HA flips. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

➖HA Pressure Meter Helpers➖

These helpers take the HA-based oscillator engine and convert it into an easier 0–100 pressure reading. They help a script decide when bullish or bearish pressure is becoming active, assign matching tier colors for rows or other visuals, and return the color state for a pressure strip or similar chart-edge signal.

➖Fib Backbone Structure Helpers➖

These helpers take a winning max-move scan and turn it into the structure a script can use for Fib Backbone analysis. They define the backbone’s start and end anchors, determine the related support/resistance anchor geometry, calculate Fib level prices between those anchors, and measure how far current price is from those levels. In other words, this region helps convert a dominant move into a reusable backbone structure that can support diagonals, S/R anchors, boxes, and Fib-based readouts.

haFibBackboneStructure(dir, startBA, endBA, openValue, highValue, lowValue, closeValue)
Returns backbone coordinates, S/R anchors, and anchor-box geometry

➖Fib Backbone Context Window Helpers➖

These helpers build the larger context window around the active Fib Backbone lookback. They let a script define the left/right range of that window, calculate its current high and low bounds, and find the midpoint of the same structure. In other words, this region helps frame the broader area that the active backbone move is being selected from, so the move can be viewed in context rather than in isolation.

➖Primary Trend Window Helpers➖

These helpers scan a lookback window to find the strongest completed HA streak and turn that winner into usable trend information. They identify the winning streak, assign it the correct tier color, and return the anchor coordinates needed to project that streak as a chart-side diagonal. In other words, this region helps a script reduce a larger HA trend window down to its most important completed streak structure.

NOTES

This is a Heikin-Ashi-specific utility library. It is meant to provide the reusable HA math, state, and structure layer. Final rendering choices such as plot style, line objects, boxes, labels, tables, and overall UI layout are expected to remain script-level decisions.

Thanks to SimpleCryptoLife for the open-source HA core functions heikinAshi() & haPredictClose() and thus the inspiration that they've given me to create HA-based indicators for the HA trader enthusiast.
