Идея простыми словами

"Heikin ashi" means "average bar" in Japanese. Each candle uses averages of the current and previous candle, so random flips are filtered out and trends show as solid runs of green or red.

Как считается

The close is the average of the four prices; the open is the midpoint of the previous Heikin Ashi candle.

HA close = (open + high + low + close) ÷ 4
HA open = (previous HA open + previous HA close) ÷ 2
HA high = max(high, HA open, HA close),  HA low = min(low, HA open, HA close)

Как использовать

  • Green candles with no lower wicks: strong uptrend. Red with no upper wicks: strong downtrend.
  • Small bodies with wicks on both sides: possible trend change.

Выводы

  • Heikin Ashi prices are averages, not the real prices: use normal candles for exact levels.

Пример

A two-week rally appears as eleven green Heikin Ashi candles in a row, while normal candles show four red ones in between.

На что обратить внимание

  • The last Heikin Ashi close is not the market price.
