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