Why you need it

A Heikin-Ashi chart shows the trend and hides the price: its candles are averages, so no open, high, low or close on it is a price that traded. DS ProHeikinAshi leaves the candlestick chart as it is and draws the Heikin-Ashi candle in a panel under it, each candle standing on its own open so color and strength read at a glance. The level that decides the next candle's color is drawn back on the price chart as a real price, with the measured odds that the color flips on the next bar, and two higher-timeframe candles ride above as lanes — three Heikin-Ashi timeframes read without leaving the chart.

What the panel reads

DS ProHeikinAshi leaves your candlestick chart alone and draws the Heikin-Ashi candle in a panel under it, with the one thing a Heikin-Ashi chart cannot show: the price at which its color flips.

01FLIP LEVEL — the price the next bar's average must finish beyond for the color to change, drawn on your price chart as a rail
02CUSHION — how far the close stands clear of it, in the chart's own unit: FLIP PENDING, HOLDING or FIRM
03FLIP ODDS — how often a candle with this cushion flipped on the next bar, from a measured table that then learns your chart
04Two higher-timeframe candles as lanes, built from the chart's own bars with no second data series

Before you buy

What it needs, where it runs, and what it is not.

Where it runs

MarketsBuilt on NQ · MNQ

Any market NinjaTrader charts

Futures — runs on it
Stocks — runs on it
Forex — runs on it
Crypto — runs on it

Reads price only. The cushion is counted in the chart's own unit, so the same reading means the same thing on every instrument and timeframe. Use it on real bars: on NinjaTrader's Renko bars the cushion says little, and the panel says so.

What it reads

Price only (the chart's own bars, decided on closed bars). No volume, no tick data, no second data series.

NinjaTrader 8 · 8.1.8.1 or newer. Everything runs on your machine, on your own data feed.

Good to know

No length, threshold or sensitivity to tune. A Heikin-Ashi color describes the last few bars — measured, it did not say where price went next, and the panel is not a forecast. What can be measured is when the color ends.

Closed-bar decisions throughout — it does not repaint.

DS Universe tools are charting and research software for educational and informational purposes. They are not investment advice and no output is a forecast or a guarantee of any result. Trading futures and other leveraged instruments carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.

Test it on your own charts first.

Four screenshots and a paragraph are not enough to judge an indicator on. Watch it work in your own instrument, on your own timeframe, before it goes anywhere near a live account. Both ways of doing that are free.

01
Replay a session you have already seen
Market Replay runs a past session back tick by tick, at whatever speed you like. You get to watch DS ProHeikinAshi print in conditions you remember, and pause on the bars where it mattered.
02
Then trade it forward, on the simulator
Replay shows you the past with the ending already known. The simulator does not — it runs live, in real time, on real prices, with nothing at stake. That is where you find out whether you can actually act on what you are seeing.

A simulated fill is not a live fill. Replay and the simulator cannot reproduce real queue position, slippage, or what it feels like to hold a position with money on it, and results from either may differ materially from live trading. Test to learn how a tool behaves — not to estimate what it might return.

DS ProHeikinAshi, moment by moment

The conditions DS ProHeikinAshi is built for, drawn by its shipped rules. Scroll and scale it like a chart, replay it bar by bar, jump between its moments, or switch the chart to light.

DS Replay examples are illustrative: each scenario is composed for the example from recorded one-minute futures candles, to show the conditions a tool is built for, and is not a recording of a trading session. The tool drawing on it runs its shipped rules unchanged. They show how the software reads price; they are not a performance record, no trade is taken or shown, and live markets often behave differently. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.
