• Heikin-Ashi is a candlestick pattern technique that aims to reduce some of the market noise by creating a chart that emphasizes the trend direction better than conventional candlestick charts.

  • The disadvantage of Heikin-Ashi is that some price data is lost when averaging, which can affect risk.
  • Long lower candles with a small upper shadow indicate strong selling pressure, while long rising candles with little or no lower shadows signal strong buying pressure.
