    The Heikin Ashi is a type of charting candlestick that originated in Japan in the 18th century by Munehisa Homma who was a rice trader, it is similar to other candlestick charts in that the colour of the candlestick indicates the direction the price is moving. It is very similar to a standard bar chart where each candlestick describes 4 important bits of information for the day which are open & close of the body thickness and high & low of the candlestick wicks.
