John will present an introduction to Heikin-Ashi Bars. Heikin-Ashi bars are similar in appearance to conventional candlesticks except that the price bars are calculated as an average of the OHLC from the prior bar. As a result, H-A bars display different properties (e.g. trends are smoothed with no gaps). H-A bars are excellent for confirming trends and signaling reversals. John will present the basics of charting with H-A bars and the rules for a basic trading system on the AmiBroker platform.
