Smart HA Bias v1 [JopAlgo]
Smart HA Bias v1 (SHABV1)
First of all, we love Heikin-Ashi candlestick patterns!
That's why we created an indicator that uses this type of candlestick to create a smoothed chart.
Our SHABV1 creates smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles and measures the body strength (close-to-open) relative to current volatility. This strength is normalized to a cross-asset scale we call HABO (Heikin-Ashi Body Oscillator). We then apply an adaptive smoother that accelerates during clear trends and decelerates during choppy trends. If HABO holds a few bars above an automatic threshold, the regime (bull/bear market) is switched. A yellow regime trail runs below the price in bull markets and above the price in bear markets and serves as an exit guide.
Why this is “SMART” (vs a conventional smoothed HA)
Most HA indicators just smooth candles and color them. SHABV1 adds four edges:
Volatility-neutral strength (HABO):
HA body is divided by ATR and scaled → “+12” on BTC 4H ≈ “+12” on EURUSD 4H. Your thresholds travel across assets/TFs.
Adaptive smoothing (KAMA):
Auto reacts to market efficiency (clean trends vs chop). Less noise without delaying the real move.
Hysteresis + confirmation:
Regime changes require holding beyond ±threshold for N bars → far fewer one-bar fakes.
Regime-aware trail:
A one-way ratchet based on smoothed HA bands. In a bull it only steps up; in a bear it only steps down. Great as a soft stop/exit.
The “Auto” features (and why you can’t tweak them)
We’ve moved the “invisible knobs” into the background so you don’t babysit settings that barely show on chart:
Auto ATR length → HABO scale:
Chooses a sensible ATR window by timeframe, then fine-tunes by recent volatility. Keeps HABO comparable across symbols.
Auto KAMA (adaptive smoothing):
Sets the slow side of the adaptive filter by a noise score. Faster in trends, slower in chop—hands-free.
Auto threshold (±HABO):
Derives a dynamic threshold from the distribution of HABO on your chart, then adjusts by your Sensitivity. No more guessing “8 vs 12 vs 15”.
Auto smoothing split:
One HA Smooth slider controls both smoothing layers under the hood at a calibrated ratio.
These are not adjustable because they’re designed to keep behavior consistent and portable. The two knobs you do control have immediate, visible impact: HA Smooth (structure tightness) and Sensitivity (earlier/stricter flips).
What you can control
HA Smooth — lower = tighter/faster, higher = calmer/slower.
Sensitivity — >1.0 earlier flips, <1.0 stricter.
Confirm Bars — 1–3 (default 2). Higher = fewer whipsaws.
HTF Bias — turn Lightweight OFF and set an HTF (e.g., trade 4H, bias 1D) for top-down alignment.
Visuals — Bias Fill, Regime Trail (ON by default), Status Panel.
How to read it
Color / Regime: green = bull bias, red = bear bias (confirmed by hysteresis).
Yellow line: the Regime Trail (bull = rising floor; bear = falling ceiling).
Status Panel (top-right): Regime | HABO | Slope.
HABO > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish.
Slope UP/DOWN = oscillator momentum direction (helps spot weakening).
Simple trading playbook
Pick TF (15m/1H/4H/1D).
(Optional) Enable HTF bias: Lightweight OFF → set HTF to the next TF up. Only take trades with HTF alignment.
Entries:
Safer: enter on confirmed regime (color flip after holding beyond threshold).
Earlier (experienced): zero-cross “early flip” only with extra confluence (VWAP/OBV/SR).
Management:
Let winners run while price respects the Trail.
Consider reduce/exit on close through the Trail or Weakening (slope turns against regime).
Tuning:
Too many flips? Raise Sensitivity↓ (<1.0) or Confirm Bars to 3.
Too late? Sensitivity↑ (>1.0) or lower HA Smooth slightly.
Quick presets (starting points)
15m: Smooth 12, Sens 1.05, Confirm 2, HTF=1H (optional)
1H: Smooth 12, Sens 1.00, Confirm 2, HTF=4H
4H: Smooth 14, Sens 1.00, Confirm 2, HTF=1D
1D: Smooth 16, Sens 0.95, Confirm 2–3, HTF=1W
Why traders like SHABV1
Portable logic: HABO + Auto threshold means fewer re-tunes switching BTC ↔ FX ↔ indices.
Chop-aware: Adaptive smoothing + hysteresis trims false flips.
Clear exits: Regime Trail turns structure into a mechanical trailing rule.
Non-repaint: HTF imports are handled with anti-lookahead; trail ratchets one way.
Notes:
This is a bias/management tool, not financial advice. Use with your own risk model (hard stop at structure or % risk).
