Trend Detection
Heikin-Ashi Range Trend Strength Calculator
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price into an average-based chart that makes trend strength easier to read. Enter today's regular OHLC bar and yesterday's Heikin-Ashi open/close (from your charting platform, or from a previous run of this tool) to get today's HA candle, its body-to-range ratio, and a wick-based trend strength read.
First time using this? Use yesterday's regular open and (O+H+L+C)/4 as rough starting values.

Educational tool only, not financial advice. Heikin-Ashi candles are a smoothed version of price, not traded prices. Never use HA highs and lows for stop placement.
