> ***A simpler way to display Heikin Ashi***

Probably everyone has put up a _Heikin Ashi_ chart one time or another. It makes it look so much cleaner with less noise and clearer trends.

But there is one major flaw it hides the true bar/candle values, especially the true closing prices.

The _Heikin Ashi_ close price is simply an applied price called the  total price , and the _Heikin Ashi_ open is simply a moving average of its close prices.

So, why not just display it as two lines instead?

This is what this indicator does. That way, you can still see the true bar/candle values. The dotted line is the open and the solid is the close.

Please note that by default it will use _Gray/Grey_ as the line colour, which is dull. So use the colour that best suits you, for example _Yellow_ on a black background or _Blue_ on a white background.

The code uses conditional compilation and will compile on both MQL4 and MQL5. Please note that all my _CodeBase_ publications  source code are also available in my public *AlgoForge* repository, named [ FMIC ](https://forge.mql5.io/fmic/FMIC).
