    Hi,

    Yes this is an option and I did look at the line charts (which is essentially the same thing) but I just seem to see better via the candles without wicks :D

    Wether it works or not.
    It's an imaginative way of thinking.
    Good for you.

  9. Thank you for positng that article. I think it's caused me to never use Heikin-Ashi candles again. They look pretty, and they make everything look like it's trending nicely, but they give you bad data. Here's the most disturbing part:

  10. The simple fact that hypo boy is against it suggests usefulness. Removing the wicks is indeed a valid concept, particularly in light of auction market theory and market profile ideas. Get rid of the wicks and the areas of price acceptance stick out like a sore thumb. I have been doing this on long term charts for several years now.
