What exactly is Heiken Ashi?

In Japanese, the term Heiken Ashi means average bar. It is used to make the candlestick charts more readable and accessible to spot a trend. 

Traders can use the Heiken Ashi chart for entry and exit strategies. A change of the Heiken Ashi color can often represent a change in the market direction.

Points to remember

• Using the Heiken Ashi Alerts as a standalone indicator is not a good idea. Instead, combine it with other indicators to get a more accurate analysis.
• A trend change often starts with a small candle with both upper and lower wicks.
• Red candles with no upper wicks mean a strong downtrend.
• Blue candles with no lower wicks mean a strong uptrend.
