XenoSmooth Predictive Candles - Advanced Heikin Ashi Candles

XenoSmooth Predictive Candles

Summary in one paragraph
A synthetic candle engine for crypto, FX, equities, and futures on intraday to swing timeframes. It reduces noise and flip delay so structure is easier to read. The core novelty is a predictive open with inertia plus slope lead fused with a zero lag body filter and an overshoot based wick model normalized by the real range and capped by ATR. Add it to a clean chart, hide regular candles if desired, and tune lengths. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close. For conservative workflows read on bar close.

Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs, index futures, large cap equities, liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Purpose. Faster and smoother visual structure than Heikin Ashi while keeping causality and realistic wicks

Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. Predictive open with inertia and slope lead plus selectable zero lag body filter and ATR capped wick overshoot in percent of real range
• Failure mode addressed. Late flips in chop and unreal long wicks from raw extremes
• Testability. Every control is an input. Users can toggle body method, lengths, clipping, and percent modeling
• Portable yardstick. ATR based wick cap and percent of bar range scale across symbols


Method overview in plain language
Build a robust base price from O, H, L, and extra weight on Close. Smooth it with a chosen filter to produce the synthetic close. Drive a predictive open that follows the synthetic close with tunable inertia and a small lead from the last bar slope. Model wicks as the portion of the real extremes that extends beyond the synthetic body, smooth that overshoot, normalize by the bar range if selected, then cap by ATR to avoid tail spikes. Clamp synthetic values to the real high and low if enabled.

Base measures
• Range basis. True Range for the ATR cap and High minus Low for percent normalization
• Return basis. Not used

Components
• Body Base Blend. Weighted O H L with a close bias to stabilize the base
• Zero Lag Body Filter. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA to set the synthetic close
• Predictive Open. Inertial follow of the synthetic close plus a slope lead term
• Wick Overshoot Model. Smoothed extension beyond the body, optional percent of real range, ATR cap
• Clamp Option. Keeps synthetic open and close inside the real bar range

Fusion rule
• Synthetic close equals filtered base
• Synthetic open equals previous open plus inertia times distance to synthetic close plus slope lead
• Wicks equal smoothed overshoot above and below the body, optionally percent of range then converted back to price and capped by ATR

Inputs with guidance

Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction. Not applicable
• Session windows. Not applicable

Logic
• Body length. Core smoothing length for the synthetic close. Typical 6 to 14. Higher gives smoother and slower. Lower gives faster flips
• Body method. ZLEMA or Super Smoother or WMA. ZLEMA is fastest. Super Smoother is calmest
• Close weight in base. 0 to 1. Higher gives stronger emphasis on close and less noise
• Open inertia. 0 to 1. Higher makes the open follow the close more tightly
• Lead gain. 0 to 1. Higher adds more phase lead. Keep modest to avoid overshoot
• Clamp body to real range. On keeps synthetic body inside high and low
• Wick smooth length. Typical 4 to 10. Higher reduces jitter
• Overshoot as percent. On stabilizes wicks across regimes
• ATR length. Typical 10 to 20 for the cap
• Max wick equals ATR times. 0 disables. 1.0 to 2.0 contains extreme tails

Filters
• Efficiency or trend filter. Not used
• Micro versus macro range relation. Not used
• Location filter. Not used


Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims
• Intrabar motion reminder. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Strategies must use standard candles for signals and orders

Honest limitations and failure modes
• High impact releases and thin liquidity can distort wicks and produce gaps that any smoother cannot predict
• Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast. Consider longer body length
• Session time on the chart controls the definition of each bar
