Heikin - Ashi Candlesticks

{Heikin-Ashi is fine for trading intraday as gaps between actual bars are usually minimal intraday. However, one of the potential drawbacks when trying to trade end of day (or longer) is that the "synthetic" Ha bars  bars drawn over actual bars look good on a chart but in trading reality it may be difficult to get order fills or be exact in order placementusing Ha Bars (you cannot get an order fill within a gap which is often absore3d into a HA bar).  A "work around" is to colour real bars with the colour of a relevant HA bar.  This methods expose the gaps between real price bars.  This indicator attempts to do that.

For this indicator, congestion bars are absorbed into up or down HA colours.}
