Typical price & Heikin ashi TEMA average crossings

Heikin ashi, Japanese for “average bar,” is a technique used to better visualize price trends by recalculating the standard candlesticks. This technique was introduced by Dan Valcu in 2004. The average heikin ashi closing I calculate dividing the sum of the re-calculated heikin ashi values for open, high, low and close by 4. You can use a heikin ashi TEMA average smoothed value with a zero-laging technique, crossing with a TEMA zero-lagging average closing price, to create fast reliable crossings.  

These are the formulas:

SVE_HA_Tema_ZL

// SVE_haC_Tema_ZL.mq4
// Copyright © 2010, Sylvain Vervoort - http://stocata.org/
// A zero-lagging TEMA average indicator on the average heikin ashi price
// You need also the "SVE_haC" function
// and the "SVE_TEMA_haC" function that are called by this function
// Note that you need about 5 times the choosen TEMA average before getting a usefull signal!!!

SVE_Typ_TEMA_ZL

For MetaTrader4 you can use the following formula (SVE_Typ_TEMA_ZL):
// SVE_Typ_TEMA_ZL.mq4
// a zero-lagging TEMA average indicator on the typical price.
// You need to have the function "SVE_TEMA_Typ" available! ----

Here you can see recent fast profitable crossings between a 55-days zero-lagging TEMA average on the typical price and a 55-days zero-lagging TEMA average on the heikin ashi closing price on the S&P500 index. Red: SVE_HA_TEMA_ZL, Blue: SVE_Typ_TEMA_ZL.
