I am attaching the Smoothed Heikin Ashi Afl.

Please not this based on one of the Forex indicator by Don Stenitz. I have not thoroughly tested it.

The smoothed HA is traded in conjuction with the MTF indicator posted by chandrakant.

The basic rules are as follows

Entry Rules

Going Long

When the lowest TF (For example 15 min) bar turns from red to blue we are alert of an impending reversal. When the bar of the next higher time frame changes from red blue we get a confirmation of the trend change. This is the time to enter. If the still higher TF bar changes from red to blue we get the confirmation the current move is strong. If the highest TF bar also changes from red to blue we are in a strong move.

Exit

When the lowest time frame color change from blue to red we are alerted that that current move may end. Confirmation come in terms of the next higher TF bar also changes from blue to red. Then we exit the trade.

There is also a riskier approach. When all the four TF are blue (meaning the move is strong) and the reversal occurs we wait till three lower TFs to change color blue to red. Here the peak drawdown could be huge.


Going short and exits

The exact conditions mentioned above for long but the color change from blue to red.

Note:
Also note the HA bars themselves give many clues to the state of the move. long bars with long shadows indicate strength. Small bars with small shadows indicate weak moves.

Respected karthikji,

For a position trader is it sufficient to trade for short period with (Smoothed Heikin Ashi & MTF indicator ) in major bull-major bear-sideways markets. Any other indicators you sujjest along with the above for more specific entry. waiting for your reply

Hi babu

The smoothed HA MTF is more suitable for swing trading. In a major Bull or Bear market the NMA would keep one in trade ofr much longer period as it takes care of retracement. But if one is comfortable in trading both sides long and short the HA-MTF will may result in higher returns.

HA-MTF is prone to whipsaws in a side ways market.

Hi Karthik,

Thanks for the Nick MA Swing system, The scan on daily data got ICI as one of the buys today. On optimizing got the parameters as 3 and 17. Further when becktesting for 88 days with 3,17 I find many buys and sells and cover results in between the original SAR buy which was on 2/4/2009. Could you tell why these are generated as we are supposed to hold the position until SAR.

Thanks & Regards
Ken
