Can you trade only with visual tools? Yes/No

The heikin-ashi foundation Modified OHLC values: haClose, haOpen, haHigh, haLow

Heikin-ashi ‘patterns’ Only three Up Down Doji-like

3 simple HA ‘patterns’ vs. 100+ documented Japanese candlestick patterns

1 A sequence of white bodies identifies an uptrend A sequence of filled bodies identifies a downtrend

2 Uptrends get stronger with longer white bodies and upper shadows Downtrends get stronger with longer black bodies and lower shadows

3 Trends get weaker with smaller bodies or when both lower and upper shadows emerge

4 A consolidation is revealed when a series of smaller bodies with both upper and lower shadows emerges

5 A trend reversal is likely with the emergence of a small body with long upper and lower shadows (doji-like candle) or a sudden color change

Heikin-ashi rules
