Heikin Ashi is a special type of candlestick chart that smooths price movement. Instead of reacting to every small price change, it shows the overall direction of the market. This makes charts cleaner and easier to understand, especially for beginners.
Why Heikin Ashi Is Better Than Normal Candles
Heikin Ashi reduces market noise and makes trends clearer. Candles stay the same color for longer during strong moves, so you can easily see if the market is trending up or down. Because the chart looks smoother, traders are less likely to panic or exit trades too early. It also helps filter out bad trades by reducing fake moves and choppy market signals, allowing only stronger setups to stand out.
Important to Understand
Heikin Ashi does not change the real market price. It only changes how price is displayed on the chart to make trends and momentum easier to read.
