Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think the library is really impressive but there is a huge lack: it's not possible to plot Heikin Ashi candles...
Describe the solution you'd like
I hope Heikin Ashi candles will be implemented soon...
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried to pre-compute the DataFrame for columns OHLC from the standard candlestick to Heikin Ashi candles but the library crashes because the candles values are unexpected in the library, so actually I need to plot Heikin Ashi but I'm not able to achieve this by using this library.
Additional context
Could you provide me with feedback on this functionality implementation?
Thanks!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the crash with a precomputed Heikin Ashi OHLC DataFrame, then trace the plotting path that rejects those candle values; done means Heikin Ashi candles can be plotted without crashing.
