Trend Hunter: Heiken-Ashi + SuperTrend in One Indicator

Trend Hunter is a NinjaTrader 8 overlay that combines smooth Heiken-Ashi mid-line logic with SuperTrend-style stop bands—and then drops clear “🔼Buy” or “🔽Sell” labels when your smoothed Heiken line and SuperTrend agree on direction.

What It Does

1. Heiken-Ashi Smoothing

   • Uses two EMAs (default 14 and 2) to calculate a smoothed Heiken-Ashi mid-line.

   • Faster EMA gives you sensitivity; slower EMA filters noise.

2. SuperTrend Stop Logic

   • Calculates upper/lower bands from ATR (default period 2) × Factor (default 2.0).

   • Tracks whether price is above (bull trend) or below (bear trend) the bands.

3. Entry Signals

   • When the Heiken-Ashi mid-line direction (up/down) matches the SuperTrend direction, it draws a “🔼Buy” label below price or a “🔽Sell” label above price.

   • SignalOffset (in ticks) moves the text away from bars so it never overlaps.

   • Only one label per trend flip—no repeated markers in the same move.

4. Visuals & Extras

   • SuperTrend bands plot as green/red hashes for instant trend bias.

   • Heiken-Ashi mid-line plots in cyan/magenta.

   • Built-in “PropTraderz” watermark and a Discord-invite field let you brand your chart and share your community link.

Why You’ll Love It

• All-in-One Trend Filter: Heiken-Ashi plus ATR stops gives you confluence at your fingertips.

• Zero Guesswork: Clear “Buy”/“Sell” labels trigger only when both your smoothing and stop logic agree.

• Fully Customizable: Tweak Heiken range, smoothing, ATR length, factor, signal offset and even text-color.

• Lightweight & Fast: Calculates on bar close so it won’t slow down your charts, even on multiple symbols.
