Heikin-Ashi candles use an averaged open and close to smooth price action, making trends easier to read at a glance. They filter out much of the noise.
How traders read it
- Long same-colour candles show a strong trend.
- Small bodies with wicks hint at a pause or reversal.
- Prices shown are averaged, not the real close.
