Heikin-ashi candlesticks




Is anyone here trades with Heikin-Ashi candles?
Are they any better than regular japanese candlesticks?

I like regular Japanese candlesticks. They are good for spotting support/resistance, readable in chart patterns and of course you can draw good trend lines with them.
IMO Heikin ones are only good in telling the trend.

Heikin-ashi candlesticks show trends beautifully. Also they are helpful for trailing stop traders: moving a trailing stop close to the last price bar becomes easier with heikin-ashi candles.

Genious made heikin-ashi candles! I always use them and recommend to everyone at least to test it, you will like those smooth trends they are able to show. I trade 30 minute charts and those candles help me more than anything else!

heiken-ashi smoothed is a beautiful thing. people need to look at it more closely.

I think for trade entries heikin-ashi can be a bit confusing, so I use regular candlesticks for entry and then switch to heikin-ashi for traling stops. If a wick forms on a candle in the opposite direction of the trend - I'm out!

It depends our trading system if we used like Isakas Kuskus By Zeman Oesentog it will be a our primary tools. But ussually i just used only for confirmation tools in my trade. Regards
