I find that using 2 periods for the Heiken Ashi is almost exactly the same as the original, but 3 just looks neater :-)

Beautiful code.

I ran a step forward test in Ami.

Unfortunately the turning point arrows are future looking. As the code steps forward the turning point arrows appear , disappear and then reappear.

All is not lost though. There is sufficient information in the Heikin Ashi candle bodies to be able to call turning points

Thanks for a really good study.

This is the same as:

except for the last line.
