Strategy based on consecutive Heikin Ashi candles
Heikin Ashi Consecutive waits for several same-color Heikin Ashi candles to confirm momentum. After a run of bullish or bearish bars the strategy joins the move and exits on the first opposite candle or an ATR stop.
Because Heikin Ashi charts smooth price data, a series of like-colored candles highlights a strong directional move. The trailing ATR stop attempts to lock in gains if the sequence abruptly reverses.
