How to Use a Heikin Ashi Chart

Now that you’ve learned how to calculate Heikin Ashi candlesticks, let’s discuss how to use and read a Heikin Ashi candlestick chart.

The idea behind using a Heikin Ashi chart is that it filters market noise.

And Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 since noise is filtered, you basically see the naked trend.

Heikin Ashi reduces market noise

Because the Heikin Ashi candlesticks Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 are calculated based on averages, the candlesticks will have smaller shadows (wicks) than a regular Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Japanese candlestick.

Just like with regular Japanese candlesticks, with a Heikin Ashi candlestick, the smaller (or shorter) the shadow (or wick), the stronger the trend.

Green candles with no lower shadow signal a strong UPTREND.

Red candles with no upper shadow signal a strong Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 DOWNTREND.

Heikin Ashi Showing Uptrend and Downtrend

Heikin Ashi charts are used by technical traders to IDENTIFY:

  • Trend DIRECTION
  • Trend Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 STRENGTH

So If your goal is to catch trends and ride them as long as possible, then you may want to learn how to use a Heikin Ashi chart.

How Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 to Use Heikin Ashi to Identify Trend Direction

A Heikin Ashi chart shows you the direction of a trend through its color-coded candles.

A green candle is telling you that trend Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 is UP. A red candle is telling you that the trend is DOWN.

How to Use Heikin Ashi to Identify Trend Strength

A Heikin Ashi chart shows you the strength of the trend by observing the shadows (or wicks).

Use Heikin Ashi to determine trend strength

You’ll notice that for many of the green candles, there is no lower shadow or wick.

These candlesticks do not Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 show a shadow in the OPPOSITE direction of the trend.

When there is no shadow, Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 this means you’re in a strong trend.

So the main thing you want to look Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 for on a Heikin Ashi chart to determine trend strength is shadowless or wickless candlesticks Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 opposite the trend.

Candlesticks that have no shadow or wick on one end are also called “shaved candles“.

Depending on which end lacks a shadow, there’s a name for Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 each type of shaved candle.

Shaved Bottom and Shaved Head Candlesticks

If there is no lower shadow/wick, also known as having “no tail”, the candle is called a “shaved bottom“.

Shaved Bottom

Shaved butt” would’ve been a better name in our opinion. 🤣

If there is no upper shadow/wick, also known as having “no head”, the candle is called a “shaved head“.

Technically, the color of the candle does NOT matter, as long a candle lacks a tail or head, but for the purposes of Heikin Ashi, we want to see shaved bottoms that are green and shaved heads that are red since we’re looking for trend strength.

Strategising Heikin Ashi chart pattern

As mentioned in the previous article Understanding the Japanese bar, the Heikin Ashi chart pattern is plotted in a different way than the standard candlestick charts, this helps us, traders, to identify the emergence of a new trend or reversal patterns in an already existing trend. Similar to the candlestick patterns the Heikin Ashi has a thick ‘real body’ Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 and the upper/lower shadows.

The values used to create the open, high, low, and close (Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 OHCL) for the Heikin Ashi candle are not OHLC values that the underlying asset had. The Heikin Ashi candles are instead based on average prices of both the current and Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 prior timeframe. This is what makes Heikin Ashi charts smoother. Below is an illustration of a chart of the same asset using both Heikin Ashi and standard candlesticks.

Strateging Heikin Ashi

The Heikin Ashi provides its own trade signals by alerting traders when the price Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 is changing its direction. It does so, by changing colour and direction, from red to green or green to red. Green candles show buying pressure (bullish trend), while red candles Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 show selling pressure (bearish trend​​). Adding a moving average indicator can help to filter these Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解 signals, so trades are only taken in the more dominant trend direction. As see in the illustration above, the signals are smoother on the Heikin Ashi chart patterns as they filter the data by averaging the current price movements with the previous price movements.Heikin-Ashi交易图表详解
