Ashidori AshidoriA candlestick primer

See why an indicator reads what it reads.

Which term of the formula is using which part of the chart, right now. That is the whole of what Ashidori shows you.

The box marks the bars going into the value right now. Drag the timeline and it moves with you.

What it does

Not something you read — something you move

The formula is wired to the chart

Tap a term in the formula and the matching line comes forward. The others fade rather than disappear, so the shape stays comparable.

You can see which bars are being used

Drag the timeline and a box moves with it, marking exactly the bars that went into the value at that point.

The parameters are yours to move

Change MACD's 12 / 26 / 9 on the spot and watch the line go blunt. Better than memorising the defaults is seeing why they are what they are.

Including the methods that grew up in Japan

Ichimoku, Sakata's five methods, Heikin-Ashi. Ichimoku gets a whole page just for its time shift, which is where most explanations go wrong.

Indicators

Twenty-three indicators and twenty named shapes

Each one comes with how to read it — and where it stops working. Where one bar carries two names — a hammer and a hanging man are the same bar — both are shown side by side.

Where it stops working — RSI sits above 70 for bar after bar in a strong market; Heikin-Ashi swallows gaps; +DI never approaches 100 even when price rises every day. Teaching the use of a tool while hiding its limits hands over only half of it.

FAQ

How much can I read for free?
Four chapters — reading a candlestick, moving averages, MACD and volume — with no time limit. There is no trial period: those four are where you see what the app is like before buying. The remaining nineteen indicators and the twenty named shapes come with the purchase.
Is this a subscription? Do I need to cancel?
It is not a subscription. It is a single purchase, so there is nothing to cancel.
What happens when I change device?
On the same Apple Account, use Restore purchase in Settings.
Can I see real share prices?
No. Every price movement in the app was made up for teaching; none of it is a real security.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple. Please request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
