Is there any chance we can get this type of candle-stick charting added to Bullcharts?

thanks

BullCharts already has a Heikin-Ashi Candlestick indicator that you can add to a chart.

Although the various built-in candlestick-pattern scans and indicators don't have the option of scanning on Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, you can make your own:
  1. Quit BullCharts
  2. Go to C:\Program Files\BullSystems\BullCharts\Functions
  3. Pick a useful-looking candlestick pattern
  4. Copy the file you've chosen to C:\Program Files\BullSystems\BullCharts\CustomIndicators (rename it so it doesn't conflict with the built-in function).
  5. Edit the file with your favourite text editor (say, Notepad) changing the alias and the actual calculation to use the Heikin-Ashi OHLC calculations instead of BullCharts' built-in OHLC values
  6. Restart BullCharts and test out your new candlestick pattern detector.
