Overview
Heikin-Ashi Chart Identifier tracks matched candles where open equals the average of previous open and close, and verifies no gaps between bars. When conditions match, it displays a label on the price chart stating it is a Heikin-Ashi chart along with bar index and matched count. Otherwise it labels the chart as not Heikin-Ashi. The label updates on the price chart with position at recent highs.
