<p id="isPasted">The Heikin-Ashi technique is a Japanese candlestick-based technical trading tool that uses candlestick charts to represent and visualize market price data. It is used to identify market trend signals and forecast price movements. The Heikin-Ashi method uses average price data that helps to filter out market noise.</p><p>The absence of market noise results in a clear illustration of market trends and direction which helps determine potential price movements. The trading technique assists traders in identifying when they should hold on to a trade, pause a trade, or identify if a reversal is about to occur. Traders can adjust their positions accordingly, i.e., either avoid making losses or lock in a profit on the chosen position.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" class="forexqa-img-container"><img src="https://prod-forexqna.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/froala_editor/images/1738906515265.png" alt="Heikin-Ashi Technique - Chart of Candlestick Patterns" width="755" height="380" srcset="//cdn.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/assets/heikin-ashi-technique.png 755w, //cdn.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/assets/heikin-ashi-technique-300x151.png 300w, //cdn.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/assets/heikin-ashi-technique-596x300.png 596w, //cdn.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/assets/heikin-ashi-technique-600x302.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 730px;" class="fr-fil fr-dib fr-draggable forexqa-img"></p><p>The Heikin-Ashi trading technique was developed by Munehisa Homma in the 1700s. The technique shares some characteristics with the traditional candlestick charts used in trading but differs in how the values for candlesticks are computed. In Japan, the word Heikin means “average” or “balance,” and the word Ashi means “bar” or “foot.” Hence, Heikin-Ashi means “average bar,” resonating with the trading technique, which uses the average price of the security.</p><p>The main difference between the traditional candlestick chart and the Heikin-Ashi chart is that the latter uses a modified formula based on two period moving averages instead of open, high, low, and close prices. Hence, the technique generates a smoother chart making it easier to spot trends and reversals. The Heikin-Ashi charts also obscure gaps and some price data.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
