Finding a Heikin Ashi Doji?

July 15th, 2016, 05:39 PM

Given:
haclose = (open + high + low + close) / 4;
haopen = compoundValue(1, (haopen[1] + haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);

Is it possible to find results for haclose = haopen using a Stock Hacker scan?

Thanks in advance...

Tried this:
def haclose = (open + high + low + close) / 4;
def haopen = compoundValue(1, (haopen[1] + haclose[1]) / 2, (open[1] + close[1]) / 2);
plot hadoji = haclose is equal to haopen;

Passes syntax test, yet "no matching symbols" on various timeframes...

Also tried creating a custom study, HADoji(), using thinkscript above, then entering HADoji() is true in Stock Hacker...

Still "no matching symbols" on various timeframes...

Any thoughts?

I've received the solution shown below for those whom might be interested...

Just set your doji equal to a range, say the close is within 1% of the open.

Code

plot HAdoji = HAclose >= 0.99 * HAopen AND HAclose <= 1.01 * HAopen;

Thanks to Robert for his assistance and solution...
