How is Heikin Ashi<\/a> different from a typical candlestick?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s learn the difference between a Heikin Ashi candlestick<\/strong> versus a traditional Japanese candlestick chart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A picture is worth a thousand pips so let\u2019s look at some actual charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, here\u2019s a traditional Japanese chart<\/strong> of GBP\/JPY on the daily (1D) timeframe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Traditional<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the same GBP\/JPY displayed with a Heikin Ashi candlestick chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Heikin-Ashi<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s put them both side-by-side<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Heikin<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The chart on the LEFT <\/strong>is the traditional Japanese candlestick chart, and the chart on the RIGHT<\/strong> is the Heikin Ashi chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from the chart on the right, directional moves are smoothed out in a way absent from the left chart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candles on traditional Japanese candlestick charts frequently change from green to red (up or down) which can make them difficult to interpret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, candles on the Heikin Ashi chart display more consecutive colored candles<\/strong>, helping traders to identify past price movements more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that Heikin Ashi charts have a tendency for its candles to stay<\/em> green<\/strong> during an uptrend<\/strong> y stay<\/em> red<\/strong> during a tendencia bajista<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is in contrast to traditional Japanese candlesticks that alternate color<\/strong> even if the price is moving strongly in one direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are times when the candlesticks change color almost as often as Kylie Jenner changes her hair color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably didn\u2019t even notice the image above is a candlestick chart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyways, back to the side-by-side chart\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Heikin<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can clearly see that the Heikin Ashi chart is much smoother looking<\/strong> in terms of price action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why some forex traders prefer to use the Heikin Ashi candles since it reduces the noise<\/strong> on the chart, and allows them to analyze trends more clearly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Heikin Ashi different from a traditional Japanese candlestick chart is how the price is displayed in terms of the open and the close<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look closely at the Heikin Ashi chart, you\u2019ll notice that each of the Heikin Ashi candlesticks starts from the MIDDLE of the candlestick before it<\/strong>, and not from the level where the previous candlestick had closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heikin Ashi candlesticks \u201cact\u201d this way due to the way they are calculated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next lesson, you\u2019ll learn how to calculate Heikin Ashi so you can sound super smart at dinner parties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
