SVE_TEMA_haC TEMA Average on the heikin ashi price

Tema, Triple Exponential Moving Average was first introduced in Stocks & Commodities magazine February 1994 by Patrick Mulloy. Price is passed multiple times through the same filter and than combined.  

TEMA = 3*EMA – 3*EMA(EMA) + EMA(EMA(EMA))

If you are looking for a better smoothing, but still with little lag using longer time periods, then the TEMA average on the heikin ashi price is for you. The blue curve in the chart is a 50-period TEMA average on the heikin ashi price, using 1 hour bars. You must include the "SVE_haC" function to calculate this indicator.

If you create this indicator in MetaTrader, make sure you give it the name "SVE_TEMA_haC", because we will call this function by this name from other indicators that we will present further on. Please make sure you have already the indicator "SVE_haC" installed. Otherwise this indicator will not work.
