Heikin-Ashi is a unique candlestick charting technique that attempts to provide a clear picture of the market's overall trend and price movement. Because Heikin-Ashi candles are smoother than those used in traditional candlestick charts, this technique can often help traders better understand the trend’s direction.

In this webinar, John Rowland, Barchart’s Senior Market Strategist, will explore Heikin-Ashi interpretations, explain the methodology behind certain calculations, and provide general knowledge, including how to interpret bullish and bearish Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. For example, a bullish Heikin-Ashi candlestick is typically represented by a green candlestick with no (or minimal) lower shadow and a long upper shadow. In comparison, a bearish Heikin-Ashi candlestick is usually represented by a red candlestick with no (or minimal) upper shadow and a long lower shadow.

In addition, John will explain why Heikin-Ashi candlesticks are calculated using a modified formula that is different from traditional Japanese candlesticks. This calculation considers the previous candlestick's open, high, low, and close prices resulting in a candlestick that can reflect the overall trend of the market and/or alert of a possible price movement change.

John will also provide tips and tricks for effectively using Heikin-Ashi candlestick charts and applying them to different trading strategies. And as with all trading topics, the potential downsides and risks of using Heikin-Ashi candlesticks will be covered.
