Combining Heikin Ashi candles, Parabolic SAR, and the ADX (Average Directional Index) with 5, 8, and 14 simple moving averages (SMAs) creates a powerful trend-following trading system.

Heikin Ashi candles help smooth out market noise, making trends easier to spot. Instead of traditional candlesticks, which can show erratic price movement, Heikin Ashi gives a clearer picture of trend direction by averaging price data. When Heikin Ashi candles are consistently bullish (no lower wicks) or bearish (no upper wicks), they confirm the strength of a trend.

The Parabolic SAR acts as a dynamic trailing stop and entry/exit signal. When the SAR dots flip from above to below the Heikin Ashi candles, it indicates a bullish signal, and vice versa for bearish signals. Overlaying this with the ADX indicator, which measures trend strength (not direction), adds confirmation. When ADX is above 20 or 25, it signals a strong trend is underway. If ADX rises while Heikin Ashi and Parabolic SAR align, this creates a high-probability entry condition.

The 5, 8, and 14 SMAs provide short-term trend alignment and crossover signals. A bullish scenario might include the 5 SMA crossing above the 8 and 14 SMAs while Heikin Ashi candles print green, SAR is below price, and ADX is rising. These moving averages help catch trend momentum early and provide dynamic areas of support and resistance. When all six tools align, traders can capitalize on clear entries and confidently ride the trend with reduced noise and greater confluence.

00:00Hello everyone and right at the beginning of the video like, subscribe to the channel and turn on
00:07notifications so as not to miss new videos. Let's start setting up the strategy. Select
00:12the hiking ashi chart type with a time frame of 30 seconds, expiration time is 2 minutes,
00:17connect parabolic SAR, ADX and 3 moving averages. For parabolic SAR change all the 2's to 3's and
00:26make it bigger. For the first moving average set the period to 5 and make it thicker. For the second
00:32moving average set the period to 8 and repaint it yellow. For the third moving average set the period
00:39to 14 and repaint it blue. For ADX set ADX smoothing to 7 and lens to 9. Also set the style.
00:56At this stage the indicator setup is complete and I can already see a suitable trading situation.
01:02I open a trade to increase and now I will explain how the strategy works. First we look at the
01:07intersection of the moving averages. Two moving averages cross the third from the bottom up.
01:13Secondly the dots of the parabolic SAR indicator are below the chart. Then we look at the ADX indicator,
01:20there we look at the green line. The green line is moving in upward direction.
01:35Still closer with the profit. However, before I continue and I would like to share with you
01:39some useful information. Don't rewind because you can miss opportunities for yourself.
01:44And we continue. Here I open a sell trade. The logic is absolutely opposite to the previous trade.
01:55First, we see a strong downward price impulse. This is the first signal to decrease. Second,
02:00we see a trend of how the moving averages will intersect each other. Two moving averages intersect
02:06the third from top to bottom. This is the second signal that the price will be lower. Third,
02:12the dots of the parabolic SAR indicator are above the chart. Fourth, we see that the green line of the
02:17ADX indicator is directed downward. Still close with the profit again and I continue to look for perhaps
02:34two more deals to consolidate.
02:56Here I open a sell trade again. I'll repeat for consolidation. First, the dots of the parabolic SAR indicator
03:03are above the chart. Second, we see how the moving averages intersect. Two moving averages intersect
03:09the third from top to bottom. This is the second signal that the price will be lower. Third, we see
03:15that the green line of the ADX indicator is directed downwards.
03:18And now I will open a buy deal. I have highlighted this trading pair here in my favorites.
03:48First, the dots of the parabolic SAR indicator are below the chart. Second, we look at the intersection
03:57of the moving averages. Two moving averages cross at the third from the bottom up. Then we look at the
04:04ADX indicator. The green line is moving in an upward direction, despite small fluctuations.
04:19Well, that's the strategy for today. I hope it was useful for you and you'll apply it in your trading.
04:26Thank you very much for watching. Good luck!
