I would like to set my candlesticks to Heiken Ashi by default, as when I calculate something like RSI its value will differ when using regular candlesticks vs. Heiken Ashi. Thank you!

Any sort of basic code using heiken ashi as default and calculating something like RSI would be really appreciated! I learn best from example, and the university videos have been very helpful so far. Thanks all.

Please checkout the documentation under the Indicators section.
Indicators can be chained together to create unique combinations much like lego blocks:
public class IndicatorTests : QCAlgorithm { //Save off reference to indicator objects HeikinAshi _ha; RelativeStrengthIndex _haRsi; public override void Initialize() { //In addition to other initialize logic: // Creating Heikin Ashi _ha = heikinAshi = HeikinAshi(_spy) // Creating the RSI of Heikin Ashi _haRsi = new RelativeStrengthIndex("HA_RSI", 14).Of(_ha); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { Plot("RSI", _ha, _haRsi); } }If we want to use TradeBar indicator (an indicator that needs bar properties: open, high, low) with Heikin Ashi, it is not as straight forward. We need to use Heikin Ashi properties to create a TradeBar object to pass it into the TradeBar indicator.
In the shared project below, we have implemented the RSI (data point indicator) and the ADX (trade bar indicator).

Can you post an example of how you would consolidate HeikinAshi to 30 minute bars? Thanks

Hi Mark,
Here's an example of creating and using 30 minute HeikinAshi bars.
