One of the most obvious differences between Heikin Ashi charts and Japanese candles is the calculation of the opening and closing prices.
Instead of using the open, high, low and close of the current bar to build the bar, Heikin Ashi candles are formed by combining the midpoint of the previous bar with the open, high, low and close. of the current bar.

Close = ¼ (Open + Close + Low + Close)
The Heikin Ashi Open is the average of the previous open Heikin Ashi candle plus the close of the previous Heikin Ashi candle.
Open = ½ (Open of the previous bar + Close of the previous bar)
The Heikin Ashi High is the maximum of three maximum points.

Limitations of Heikin Ashi
Like any other technical analysis tool, Heikin Ashi is useful but has some limitations or weaknesses.
For example, the candles do not show the exact opening and closing prices.
The candles hide the real information of the value of the asset.
In addition, they require previous data, which does not serve too much for people to trade in the short term too much due to the high risk of this.
This type of non-standard chart is mostly used to verify trends, therefore some indicators such as Ichimoku or Buy And Sell tend to use this type of chart. The problem with this is that Heikin Ashi does not really show the real price of the asset if not an average of it, so it is good to backtest and learn the use of these types of indicators.
Example Buy and Sell:
The Buy And Sell indicator indicates entry and closing of this, but then it continues to rise. Therefore, you need to understand that these indicators really have a great fault. In addition, the best entry would have been in the indicated circle.
Example Ichimoku:
As we can see, ichimoku is a bit more exact about this, but in a way it also has its flaws, ichimoku is an indicator that looks for inputs through moving averages. Mostly the 9-26-52 setting. But it is not recommended to use it in its entirety as a holy grail. It's pretty good, but try to make it a complement to your analysis.
