How to trade with the Ashi Histogram indicator
First, identify the colors in the bars of the bar chart. A lighter blue color indicates an uptrend, while a red bar indicates a downtrend. The color of the bars should not be used to determine whether you are entering a long or short position. Moving averages should be considered.
A few red bars do not necessarily mean that the price will go down, but blue bars do not indicate that the price will go up. You should wait until the bar crosses the moving average. If the blue bar rises above this line, it means that the uptrend will continue for a considerable period of time. This is also true for downtrends. Wait until the red line crosses the moving average. The stronger the trend, the higher the bar rises after crossing the MA.
