Education corner Candle-inside-candle Heikin-Ashi pattern: A Heikin-Ashi candle inside another Heikin- Ashi candle is sign of a trend slowdown. It may be a sign of reversal or a sign of a pause before the trend resumes. A stop-loss is highly recommended. When you listen to talking heads or get stock recommendations, trust, but verify. If Heikin-Ashi charts tell the same story, it s a confirmation and not the final decision. Otherwise, pass. A short talk about haoscillator: A falling oscillator in an uptrend is a sign of a consolidation, not of a trend change. A rising oscillator in a downtrend is a sign of consolidation, not of a trend change. About perfection: There is none, especially in trading. Too much effort time and money - is wasted in search of perfect entries, exits, and stops. They work once, twice, and then they don t. One solution is to avoid trading noise in lower time frames and use a stop-loss and trends (lesser noise) in higher time frames. A short talk about hadelta: There are five (5) possible scenarios when hadelta and its short average are crossing above/below each other. Not all these signals are strong as the following table shows: hadelta average (1) hadelta (2) Crossing 1x2 Signal strength Below zero Below zero Positive Weak positive Below zero Below zero Negative Strong negative Above zero Above zero Positive Strong positive Above zero Above zero Negative Weak negative At/near zero(*) At/near zero(*) Positive Very strong positive At/near zero(*) At/near zero(*) Negative Very strong negative (*) It may also signal a consolidation In an uptrend, pullbacks are accepted as long as the close doesn t go below the previous important low. In a downtrend, reactions are valid as long as the previous important high is not taken. (+++) A good trailing-stop takes most emotions out of a trade or investment.
