Contrary to popular belief among amateurs, there is no perfect indicator or strategy in trading.

Success hinges on using better tools and maintaining discipline. Heikin-Ashi is one such tool.

On July 9, well before CrowdStrike made headlines:

haDelta dipped below its average, and the trend band shifted from dark green (uptrend) to light green (potential trend change).

Was this a sell signal? No, it was a warning worth taking, emphasizing the need for a stop-loss (discipline). The rest is history.
