  9. 0:20welcome back to the channel everybody my
  10. 0:22name's artie and this is the moving
  11. 0:23average a show where we discuss
  12. 0:25everything day trading to keep you
  13. 0:26profitable on a consistent basis so if
  14. 0:28you guys watched my previous video about
  15. 0:30using hike and ashy candles for swing
  16. 0:32trading you know the concept behind this
  17. 0:35now i've incorporated hiking ashy
  18. 0:38candles into a scalping strategy that's
  19. 0:41like not you know the three minute scalp
  20. 0:43but enough to get you a decent move
  21. 0:45let's jump into the charts i'm going to
  22. 0:46show you exactly what i'm talking about
  23. 0:48okay so if you are unfamiliar with
  24. 0:50hiking ashy candles they are completely
  25. 0:52different than the traditional japanese
  26. 0:54candlestick you can see that they start
  27. 0:57halfway through the previous candle so
  28. 0:59as the candle closes up here and then
  29. 1:01jumps back here it confuses a lot of
  30. 1:04people and it confused me a lot at first
  31. 1:07but i have a way to think about hiking
  32. 1:09ashy candles where you don't have to do
  33. 1:11that as per this graphic right here the
  34. 1:13close of a hike and ashy candle is a
  35. 1:15quarter of the open high low and close
  36. 1:19and the high is the maximum of the high
  37. 1:21open or close and the low is the minimum
  38. 1:24of the low open or close and the open is
  39. 1:26half of the open of the previous plus
  40. 1:29the close of the previous what i'm more
  41. 1:31concerned with the hike and ashy candles
  42. 1:33is having a nice smooth move up as we
  43. 1:36start getting smaller candles and then
  44. 1:38we get a no
  45. 1:40wick candle that is your signal to get
  46. 1:43ready to enter so the first thing that
  47. 1:45you need to do is change your charts
  48. 1:48from normal japanese candlesticks right
  49. 1:51here to hike and ashy candlesticks what
  50. 1:53you can also do is add a 50 period
  51. 1:56moving average whether it's exponential
  52. 1:58or smoothed it does not matter it's
  53. 2:01whatever your preference is just to give
  54. 2:03you a basic indication of what the trend
  55. 2:05is as you can see the line is going down
  56. 2:07we are in a downtrend we should be
  57. 2:09looking for short positions i'm going to
  58. 2:11give you two examples of short positions
  59. 2:13which are trend continuation trades and
  60. 2:15one that is a trend reversal trade so as
  61. 2:18price crossed through the 50 and
  62. 2:19rejected off of the 50 we are looking
  63. 2:22for that first no wick candle to form
  64. 2:25once it is formed on the open of the
  65. 2:28next candle you enter your position pull
  66. 2:30up your mt4 and click sell or buy
  67. 2:33whatever way you're going then what i
  68. 2:34suggest doing is switching back to
  69. 2:36traditional japanese candlesticks to
  70. 2:39find your take profit as well as your
  71. 2:41stop loss so once we get the japanese
  72. 2:43candles up here you can see the
  73. 2:45rejection off of the 50. what i want you
  74. 2:47to do is target that 50 as your stop
  75. 2:50loss and your take profit is going to be
  76. 2:53just look left find that previous swing
  77. 2:56your take profit level should be right
  78. 2:58where the price has crossed the most not
  79. 3:00at the absolute edge of it and with this
  80. 3:03one trade on a 15 minute time frame
  81. 3:05that's 160 points with a 46 point stop
  82. 3:09loss set your trade and leave it don't
  83. 3:12look at it especially if you're one of
  84. 3:13those people that can't stare at an open
  85. 3:16trade without getting massive amounts of
  86. 3:18anxiety then once you switch back to the
  87. 3:20hike and ashy candles usually your move
  88. 3:22will happen all in one solid color of
  89. 3:26height and ash it'll all be red or it'll
  90. 3:28all be green depending on the direction
  91. 3:29you're going so with trend continuation
  92. 3:32trades you can basically take any time
  93. 3:35that it rejects off of the 50 as long as
  94. 3:38there was no big divergence beforehand
  95. 3:41so again you could have taken this move
  96. 3:42right here and then this one right here
  97. 3:45you wait for the first no wick bullish
  98. 3:48candle to form and then you get in on
  99. 3:50the next one adjusting your stop loss
  100. 3:53and take profit with what you see on a
  101. 3:55normal japanese candlestick and simply
  102. 3:57just target the previous swing low if
  103. 4:00you feel really confident in that
  104. 4:02momentum move what you can also do is
  105. 4:04close 80 to 90 percent of your trade at
  106. 4:07your first take profit level and then
  107. 4:09basically trailing stop loss the rest
  108. 4:12until you start seeing the opposite
  109. 4:13color being formed which you saw right
  110. 4:15here now when it comes to trend reversal
  111. 4:17trades what i want you guys to look for
  112. 4:20is a break and a retest of a trend line
  113. 4:23breaking the trend line coming down to
  114. 4:25retest and again this is scalping not
  115. 4:28expecting a full-blown trend reversal to
  116. 4:30the moon what you're just gonna do
  117. 4:33is catch the retest of that trend line
  118. 4:37and get the move up to the 50 because
  119. 4:40you're not sure if it's going to go past
  120. 4:42it but you know it should go to it and
  121. 4:45the trend might continue rejecting off
  122. 4:47of it so if that move is big enough for
  123. 4:49example this break of the trend line and
  124. 4:51the 50 was too small this one is too
  125. 4:54small but this one had a nice decent
  126. 4:57move in it so again you wait for the
  127. 4:58first no-wick candle get in on the next
  128. 5:01one switch it back to japanese
  129. 5:03candlesticks set your stop loss on that
  130. 5:06trend line and your take profit is going
  131. 5:08to be the
  132. 5:0964 point stop loss
  133. 5:11177 point take profit i'm gonna allow
  134. 5:14you guys to do your own research on this
  135. 5:15one because i really don't want to make
  136. 5:17a 45 minute video on how hike and ashy
  137. 5:20candles work but the reason i wanted to
  138. 5:22make this video is because if you look
  139. 5:24at hike and ashy candles and you see a
  140. 5:26no-wick candle that is a change of
  141. 5:28momentum that is how they are structured
  142. 5:30that is why hike and ashy candles work
  143. 5:32so well at swing trading and it gives
  144. 5:35you that one definitive point like hey
  145. 5:37this is where i'm getting in not just
  146. 5:39speculating on different candlestick
