A simple script that places a bar at the bottom of the chart to indicate the direction of Heiken-Ashi candles - while still using traditional candles on the main chart. Try setting the bar on a higher timeframe to see the overall direction of the trend, while using traditional candles for entries/exits.
@GarethSA, Sometimes I'll take a script (public and built-in), cleanup the code, save it locally, and rename it to start with NSDT so all the ones I use line up next to each other. It should not have been published publicly again since FX_masa already has it. It is open source and so while I updated it to V5 right now, I also added in the reference to the original script/owner, as it should be. So, thanks for pointing that out.
