Heikin Ashi

Heikin Ashi, Japanese for average bar, is a candlestick chart built from averaged prices: each candle opens at the midpoint of the previous candle's body and closes at the average of the bar's open, high, low and close. The smoothing filters out much of the noise of regular candlesticks, so an uptrend shows as a series of rising candles without lower shadows and a downtrend as falling candles without upper shadows.
