Long Entries from Heikin-Ashi Candle Reversals

Summary

This long-only strategy uses Heikin-Ashi candles to identify a possible shift from a bearish move to bullish momentum. It requires three consecutive green Heikin-Ashi candles and a red candle immediately before them, using the configured validation period to define the confirmation sequence. The script retrieves Heikin-Ashi open and close values on the chart’s timeframe and submits a long order when the sequence appears. It limits active position size and includes configurable take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing-exit parameters.

The document explains that Heikin-Ashi candles average price movement and tend to remain green or red during directional moves. However, the supplied text cuts off during its explanation, and it gives no backtest results, instrument, timeframe evaluation, or evidence that the entry pattern is profitable. The listed exit settings are parameters in the script, not proof of risk control under live execution; the code’s trailing logic also deserves careful review before use. The strategy is educational and applies only to long positions.
