You should look at Heiken Ashi indicator's code to see how it works.

andream1977:
When haOpen<haClose it's 1 color, when haOpen>=haClose it's other color.
Alain, i look to che ha indicator code, but i dont understand when the color of two candle has changed
if(haOpen<haClose)
{
ExtLowHighBuffer[i]=haLow;
ExtHighLowBuffer[i]=haHigh;
}
else
{
ExtLowHighBuffer[i]=haHigh;
ExtHighLowBuffer[i]=haLow;

ExtHighLowBuffer[i]=haHigh;

ExtLowHighBuffer[i]=haHigh;

In mql4, how i can understand if the last ha candle has change it's color from previous candle?
i get info about ha candle, with this code:
last ha candle:
int shiftLastCandle = 1;
double haOpen=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,2,shiftLastCandle);
double haClose=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,3,shiftLastCandle);double haHigh=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,0,shiftLastCandle);
double haLow=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,1,shiftLastCandle);
Print("haOpen ",haOpen," haClose ",haClose," haHigh ",haHigh," haLow ",haLow);
previous candle
int shiftPrevCandle = 2;
double haOpen=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,2,shiftPrevCandle);double haClose=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,3,shiftPrevCandle);
double haHigh=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,0,shiftPrevCandle);
double haLow=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_D1,"HeikenAshi",Red,White,Red,White,1,shiftPrevCandle);
how i can understand if the color of this two candle has changed?
