Heiken-ashi

Custom Strategy : Heiken Ashi + RSI + Mama-Kama-Fama I want to share a custom strategy I have been developing on my very own and get your thoughts about it? I have no friends trader, no mentor, no one I can share my thoughts with, that's why I present my strategies to find other traders interested in sharing and building - perfecting these with me. Together we are stronger. If you find something to say about it, if you have skills to share (are you able to build trading bots?), please feel free to contact me with your ideas :) I recently discovered the Mama-Fama-Kama indicator (via @rumpypumpydumpy Thank you so much for your work!) and it acts like a very powerful filter to the system IMO. Talking about filters, the top-down approach stays the best of all and if you apply it correctly, it gives you in advance the direction of the trade you must look for and the zones you must pay attention to. Then, you simply/strictly follow your rules to catch a valid entry. After that you manage your trade manually or set another set of rules for exit. I let you have a look. Do you see the rules of the strategy and how to apply? I will post all rules later ... I don't have the time to continue now, but I will show you how I scalp using only 2 confluent timeframes and how you can literally spot the valid entries before/or at least right when they happen. As it is commonly said, all indicators are lagging behind the price, my goal was always to find a way to get the opposite and build a system that would give a leading signal. I know some succeeded in this quest, so why not us too?!

Implementing Heiken Ashi CandlesKEY POINTS: Heikin-Ashi is a candlestick pattern technique that aims to reduce some of the market noise, creating a chart that highlights trend direction better than typical candlestick charts. The downside to Heikin-Ashi is that some price data is lost with averaging, which could affect risk. Long down candles with little upper shadow represent strong selling pressure. Long up candles with small or no lower shadows signal strong buying pressure. ----------------------------------------------------------------- When paired with risk management tools, trading indicators can give you a clear insight into price movements. Heiken Ashi candlesticks resemble a typical Japanese candlestick, but several details differ from the traditional candlestick chart. Every Heiken Ashi candlestick has an upper candlewick, a shadow (lower candlewick) and a body – much like the Japanese candlesticks. However, a bar in the Heiken Ashi starts from the middle of the one before it and not where the previous one closed-a significant distinction. Each candle has a high, low, open and close, and thus the Heiken Ashi formula has four segments.The opening level is the midpoint of the previous bar; the Close of each bar is the average of high, low, open and close. If you’re aiming to catch persistent trends, then Heiken Ashi will be valuable. NOTE: However, day traders who need to exploit quick price moves may find Heikin-Ashi charts are not responsive enough to be useful. Also, due to no price gaps within Heikin-Ashi candlestick charts, risk management is harder to monitor. Using additional methods to watch risk is advised. The formula for calculating Heikin-Ashi candlesticks is as follows: Open= (Open of previous bar+ Close of previous bar)/2 Close = (Open + Close + High + Low)/4 High = the Maximum Price Reached Low = Minimum Price Reached *Hope this helped refresh your knowledge of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks or showed you a new trading strategy to use.

My simple Double Up strategy using Heiken Ashi candlesUSE the smoothed HA Candles indicator located in the indicator list. Combine that with the MACD and Bollinger Bands. Look for crossovers in the MAC D for Entry points on the 15 minute Time Frame. Riding momentum of the trend direction confirmed by the Heiken Ashi Trend color. For example if the HA candles are showing RED and price is beneath the 0.00 Line on the MAC D you are in a downtrend. using that knowledge wait for the blue MACD line to cross back up over the red line showing an uptrend move. COnfirm that move by seeing price action bounce off the bottom BOLLINGER bands band. once price in the HA CAndles turns green wait for the 2nd or 3rd HA candle to form. at that point price should be ABOVE the 0.00 line on the MACD signaling a strong move to the upside. somewhere in that location is your opportunity for an entry as well knowing it will be a strong move up. Using proper risk management set a SL at a resonable spot giving your TP no less than a 15 to 20 pip move. once that move has completed do the same in the opposite direction. DO NOT EXIT THE 1st MOVE UNTIL THE GREEN CANDLES SHOW AT LEAST 3 RED... always watching price action for major moves use the HA candles for further confirmation to either take TPs, add 2nd entries and ultimately exiting the trade... HAve fun and good luck

GBPUSD SHORT - WEEKLY timeframe - modified Heiken Ashi strategyUsing a modified Heiken Ashi system whereby one enters long or short at the next bar based on the body of the previous completed bar, even if it is a doji. A more traditional HA strategy takes a directional position following a trending candle. This modified strategy is more aggressive and more mechanical meaning one does not perform a full analysis of the instrument in addition to following the strategy rules. In this trade the body of last week's HA candle was red therefore we enter short at the open. Stop goes beyond the local high. This constitutes 1 risk unit. An approximate target is set at 2.5 risk units.
