Heikin-Ashi Candle Charts

Aside from many chat sites discussing how to code the special candles of this method, there is scant else on the web regarding this method. The earliest mention I found is by Forex trader and Ichimoku chartist Yasuji Yamanaka, who in addition to publishing many analyses using this method, also wrote two English language articles on heikin ashi (pt. 1 and pt. 2, pdf files). Heikin-Ashi means "average bar" and is, according to Mr. Yamanaka, a method introduced by a Japanese commodities trader who, of course, made a fortune with it. Also according to Mr. Yamanaka, it is a derivative of the Ichimoku method, after Ichimoku Sanjin, a pseudonym of another smart cookie. In addition to Mr. Yamanaka's articles, there is also a well-popularized article by Dan Valcu, writing in TASC. To see how they look, try the slideshow below, showing the ES or SPX in various time frames. In addition to the tailored indicators I use, you will see heavy black trendlines on some of the charts. These are the new Auto-Trend lines, automatically discovered by the Ensign program, one of the many new features introduced by Howard Arrington, Ensign proprietor and chief programmer, this month. The simple rules for trading heikin ashi are summarized in the following table, attributed to Mr. Yamanaka:

Lunarpages Web Hosting

After 7 years of being hosted by Yahoo, the amg complex has selected a new web host: lunarpages. I made the decision late Friday evening, signed the deal Saturday, and what is truly a miracle, migrated the sites today. They are all up and running seamlessly. Thank you, O! Great Kahuna of Small Favors That are Really Gigantic Favors!! ILUV LUNARPAGES!

Are you a solo outfit without a deep IT bench to "just fix it"? The lunarpages forum, ie, user community, has all the answers. Really. Any Frontpage user (moi) can attest that uploading a site for the first time never goes right. But with the tutorials and forum help pages, this minor miracle did happen to me. The web features (storage, traffic allowances, scripts, control panel) out-strip virtually all "standard" services. The email features and options are jaw-dropping, particularly the spamicides. Finally speaking as a thrift-conscious consumer, the value just cannot be beat, particularly if you are running several sites.

Notwithstanding a small referral kickback from lunarpages, if you've grown weary of your web host, or are still searching for an affordable, reliable, and helpful host, you need look no further.

Do yourself a favor and sign up with lunarpages.

At last, over the rim
of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings

The Wind in the Willows

blather: nonsensical talk.

At times my analysis log, at times sharing what I've learned. Always my own work and views.
