How do you use haDelta?

A common issue with Heikin-Ashi is the delayed color reversal of candles.

haDelta was designed to address this delay, reducing costly lags. However, some traders find it too noisy and mistakenly treat it as a foolproof indicator, leading to losses.

The solution? Combine the original haDelta with a smoothed version for clearer signals—but be cautious not to over-smooth it.
