How can we create Heiken Ashi Charts in Wealth-Lab?

Heikin, not Heiken. (I corrected the post title.) Perhaps this explains why it didn't come up in Search? (Example: Can Heikin-Ashi replace standard candles?)

Check out the QuickRef example for Bars.SaveToFile.

Heikin Ashi in Community ChartStyles, no coding required:

Is there a way to access the Open, Close, High, Low values of heiken-ashi just like how we can access the default values ?
Does changing the chart style to Heiken Ashi automatically modify the OHLC values ??

Basically see post #2 right above for answers. Also, you're making the same typo as topic starter. If you would've noticed my correction in post #2 your forum searches might become more productive.

1. For a code that creates Heikin Ashi candlesticks which you can access, see the QuickRef example for Bars.SaveToFile. Did I say it in this thread already? :)
2. No but the code sample I referred to above does it for the virtual plotted symbol.

While I'm at it, you'd probably have to change this line to target a different directory; Windows won't let you save to the system drive's root or Program Files w/o WLP running with elevated permissions:

Yes, that example should be corrected. You can save it to the TEMP logical device instead:

There's a couple of Heikin-Ashi oscillators you might also find interesting. I use the latter one myself. It's somewhat predictive.

Please note that a breaking change to HACOLT will take place. Since this is slightly offtopic to discuss here, more detail in this forum thread: S&C 2012-07 | HACOLT indicator (Vervoort).

FYI

TASCIndicators v2019.03 is out with the modification to HACO and HACOLT. Note that this is a breaking change i.e. backtest results may change.
