You can see we have used Heiken Ashi candles.
There are 5 basic signals which help to detect trends & buying opportunities:
Positive (green) candles without wicks: These candles signify powerful uptrend momentum across trading session which is likely to continue further. In this case, a trader will proceed with hands-off attitude to profits, while also considering timely adding on right to the trading position. If the positive candles do not show lower shadows, it means strong uptrend and opportunity for immense profits.
Positive (green) candles with wicks/shadows: It means strength will take price action to a further high. In such situations, when upside trend is still there, an investor should try to add to overall position.
Smaller Candle with long wicks: It’s like doji candlestick. Such a candle symbolizes near-term turnaround for overall trend. It’s an indecisive time no doubt. So, you should wait for a better direction for your further action in the market. A wise trader here will certainly wait for a clearer signal for better confirmation prior to finalizing on any position.
Negative (red) candles with wicks or shadows: It signifies negative or weak momentum for price action in market. In such a situation, traders should exit long/selling positions.
Negative (red) candles without wicks or shadows: It signifies a strong selling momentum which will possibly support a shift lower in overall decline. In such a situation, a trader should add to existent short holdings.

It’s to note here trades will be made in between 06:00- 14:00 GMT. You will enter trade when green will cross red on TDI in the initial stage of the candle. If there are minimum 3 candles, refrain from trading. Be patient, and wait for next trade opportunity. But, you can reenter on bounce if green seems to bounce off the red & the trend continues. If you see green-colored TDI line lying flat or has hooked over or has made checking mark reversal, make sure to exit trade.
