Heikin-Ashi candles provide a simple method to incorporate averaging into price action analysis by making candlesticks themselves averaged. This causes candles to have a smoothened and continuous look making them easier for some to visualize trends.

Heiken Ashi candlesticks do not show a shadow in the OPPOSITE direction of the trend like typical Japanese candlesticks.

When there is no lower shadow/tail on a green candle, this means you’re in a uptrend.

Candlesticks that have no shadow/tail or an upper wick on one end are also called “shaven candles“.

A candle shaved on both ends is a Marubozu candle in typical Japanese candle use. A long green candle in typical Japanese candle use is very bullish, and by definition, both ends are shaven. Vice versa for a red candle that is shaven on both ends is often very bearish.
On this chart the Heiken Ashi candles are still bearish as there is only red candles with no upper wick. So a green Heiken-Ashi candle with a long upper wick and a shaven bottom is considered bullish.

These candles differ as a typical green candle with a long top wick and a shaven bottom, can be bearish at the top using typical Japanese candles as a bottom shadow is likely to form eventually. The opposite is true of a Heiden Ashi green candle with a long top wick and no bottom shadow/tail which is often bullish even at the top.

With Heikin Ashi candles, we want to see shaved bottoms that are green and shaved heads that are red if we’re looking for trend strength.

I was surprised how low TREX has gone when I looked at this chart and using Heiken-Ashi candles, this security is still bearish. Short percent is 5.43% Mkt cap is 10 Billion. PE is 41.36 which is on the high side for this sector.
Earnings are estimated to be on 2-21 or 2-22 as I see conflicting dates and is AMC. Earnings were growing substantially quarter over quarter, but the market has not been kind to high PE stocks as of late. I am not saying this a PE ratio out the roof, but it is on the high side for this sector.
TREX is Oversold on daily RSI, and is close to oversold on weekly RSI. TREX is not oversold on monthly
No recommendation.

Comment:
The company appears to be in good financial shape which can mean a lot with interest rates and inflation increasing. Just not sure this one has hit bottom yet.

Never bend your rules to accommodate your gut (o:
