🔋Candlestick Power📍Candlestick patterns are powerful tools used in technical analysis to analyze and predict price movements in financial markets, particularly in trading. They provide valuable insights into market sentiment and help traders make informed decisions. The open, close, and various components of a candlestick, such as the body and shadows, are crucial in determining whether it is bullish or bearish. 🔷A candlestick consists of a body and two shadows, also known as wicks or tails. The body represents the price range between the open and close of a trading period, while the shadows represent the high and low points reached during that period. 🔷A bullish candlestick occurs when the closing price is higher than the opening price, indicating buying pressure and market optimism. The body is typically filled or colored, indicating a bullish trend. The longer the body, the stronger the bullish sentiment. Shadows may exist above or below the body, and they represent the price range outside of the open and close. Long shadows indicate higher volatility during the trading period. 🔷A bearish candlestick forms when the closing price is lower than the opening price, reflecting selling pressure and market pessimism. The body is often empty or colored differently to indicate a bearish trend. Again, the length of the body provides information about the strength of the bearish sentiment. Shadows can be found above or below the body, representing the price range outside the open and close. Similar to bullish candles, long shadows suggest increased volatility. Traders use different candlestick patterns and combinations to identify potential trend reversals, continuation patterns, or price consolidations. For example, a doji candlestick, where the open and close are very close or equal, signals indecision in the market and may precede a reversal. Engulfing patterns occur when one candle fully engulfs the body of the preceding candle, indicating a potential trend reversal. However, it is important to note that candlestick patterns should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to confirm the validity of a potential trade signal. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

MASTERING AND UNDERSTANDING CANDLESTICKS PATTERNS To understand the price and candlestick analysis, it helps if you imagine the price movements in financial markets as a battle between the buyers and the sellers. Buyers speculate that prices will increase and drive the price up through their trades and/or their buying interest. Sellers bet on falling prices and push the price down with their selling interest. ☑️ If one side is stronger than the other, the financial markets will see the following trends emerging: 1 - If there are more buyers than sellers, or more buying interest than selling interest, the buyers do not have anyone they can buy from. The prices then increase until the price becomes so high that the sellers once again find it attractive to get involved. At the same time, the price is eventually too high for the buyers to keep buying. 2 - However, if there are more sellers than buyers, prices will fall until a balance is restored and more buyers enter the market. 3 - The greater the imbalance between these two market players, the faster the movement of the market in one direction. However, if there is only a slight overhang, prices tend to change more slowly. 4 - When the buying and selling interests are in equilibrium, there is no reason for the price to change. Both parties are satisfied with the current price and there is a market balance. It is always important to keep this in mind because any price analysis aims at comparing the strength ratio of the two sides to evaluate which market players are stronger and in which direction the price is, therefore, more likely to move. ☑️ The size of the candlestick body shows the difference between the opening and closing price and it tells us a lot about the strength of buyers or sellers. 1 - A long candlestick body, that leads to quickly rising prices, indicates more buying interest and a strong price move. 2 - If the size of the candlestick bodies increases over a period, then the price trend accelerates and a trend is intensified. 3 - When the size of the bodies shrinks, this can mean that a prevailing trend comes to an end, owing to an increasingly balanced strength ratio between the buyers and the sellers. 4 - Candlestick bodies that remain constant confirm a stable trend 5 - If the market suddenly shifts from long rising candlesticks to long falling candlesticks, it indicates a sudden change in trend and highlights strong market forces. ☑️ The length of shadows helps in determining the volatility, i.e. the entire range of price fluctuations. 1 - Long shadows can be a sign of uncertainty because it means that the buyers and sellers are strongly competing, but neither side has been able to gain the upper hand so far. 2 - Short shadows indicate a stable market with little instability. 3 - We can often see that the length of the candlestick shadows increases after long trend phases. Increasing fluctuation indicates that the battle between buyers and sellers is intensifying and the strength ratio is no longer as one-sided as it was during the trend. 4 - Healthy trends, which move quickly in one direction, usually show candlesticks with only small shadows since one side of the market players dominate the proceedings. ☑️ For a better understanding of price movements and market behaviour, the first two elements must be correlated in the third element. 1 - During a strong trend, the candlestick bodies are often significantly longer than the shadows. The stronger the trend, the faster the price pushes in the trend direction. During a strong upward trend, the candlesticks usually close near the high of the candlestick body and, thus, do not leave a candlestick shadow or have only a small shadow. 2 - When the trend slows down, the ratio changes and the shadows become longer in comparison to the candlestick bodies. 3 - Sideways phases and turning points are usually characterised by candlesticks that have a long shadow and only short bodies. This means that there is a relative balance between the buyers and the sellers and there is uncertainty about the direction of the next price movement. ✅With this article we want to show you that you do not have to remember any candlestick formation to understand price.

How to Trade the Pin Bar Pattern on Forex and Gold 🕯 The pin bar is a powerful price action setup that tells a fascinating story concerning price momentum and the possibility of an imminent reversal in price direction. A pin bar is a Japanese candlestick that has a long wick on one side and a small body. Understanding the story behind the pin bar is essential. 📚What does the pin bar candlestick pattern tell us about market psychology? 📉This pin bar followed a strong downward trend, and the presence of a long tail below the body tells us that the market rejected any attempt by overly exuberant sellers to move the price lower. The length of the tail speaks to the strength of the rejection. 📈The pin bar followed by a strong uptrend, and the presence of a long tail above the body tells us that the market rejected any attempt by overly exuberant buyers to move the price higher. The length of the tail speaks to the strength of the rejection. ⭐️The best pin bars are bearish pin bars that form at the top of an extended move up, and bullish pin bars that form at the bottom of an extended move down. ✅Entry and exit is very simple. If you are going short on a bearish pin bar, enter short when the next candle opens and ticks below the low of the bearish pin bar. If you are going long at your fx broker, enter long when the next candle opens and ticks above the high of the bullish pin bar. ❗️Keep in mind that these are general trading concepts that build on the collective experience of traders. Even though a lot of traders believe that these chart patterns have a bearing on the future direction of the price there are no guarantees in trading. Forex & gold trading is risky and you should never speculate with funds you cannot afford to lose. Hey traders, let me know what subject do you want to dive in in the next post?

How to Measure the Strength of a Candlestick? Hey traders, There are multiple different ways to measure the strength of the market reversal from a key level: ✔️some traders apply volumes and look for its sudden spike as a confirmation, ✔️some traders rely on some indicators and look for a particular trigger there as the signal, ✔️some traders, like me, follow the candlesticks and make their judgments based on the candle's strength. In this article, I prepared for you a candlestick strength meter that will help you to accurately spot the reversal clues. ❗️Remember about the important precondition: that candlestick meter is reliable being applied ONLY on key levels. Trading that outside key levels is not recommendable. 📈The initial touch of a key level is very telling: after a sharp bullish / bearish rally to key resistance/support the reaction of the price on that can indicate you the strength of the identified level. There are three main classifications of the reversal candle momentum: *by reversal candle we mean the first bullish candle on key support or the first bearish candle on key resistance. 1️⃣The momentum will be considered to be low in case if the reversal candle will close within the range of the previous candle. It indicates the weakness of bulls buying from support / bears selling from resistance. You should patiently WAIT for some other signal before you open the trade. 2️⃣The momentum will be considered to be medium in case if the reversal candle will engulf the range of the previous candle. It shows quite a strong initial reaction being sufficient to open the trade ONLY in a strict combination with some other signal. 3️⃣The momentum will be considered to be high in case if the reversal candle engulfs the range of the last two candles (two bearish or two bullish ). By itself, it is considered to be a strong reversal signal. The trading position can be opened just based on such a candle. Among the dozens of different candlestick pattern formations, I believe that momentum candles are one of the most reliable in spotting the market reversal. Learn to spot these candles and you will be surprised how accurate they are. What candlestick pattern formations do you want to learn in the next post?🤓 Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Learn the Strongest Reversal Candlestick Patterns Hey traders, In this educational article, we will discuss powerful reversal candlestick patterns that every trader must know. Bullish Engulfing Candle Bullish engulfing candle is one of my favorite ones. It usually indicates the initiation of a bullish movement after a strong bearish wave. The main element of this pattern is a relatively big body. Being bigger than the entire range of the previous (bearish) candle, it should completely "engulf" that. Such a formation indicates the strength of the buyers and their willingness to push the price higher. Bearish Engulfing Candle The main element of this pattern is a relatively big body that is bigger than the entire range of the previous (bullish) candle. Such a formation indicates the strength of the sellers and their willingness to push the price lower. ________________________ Bullish Inside Bar Inside bar formation is a classic indecision pattern. It usually forms after a strong bullish/bearish impulse and signifies a consolidation. The pattern consists of 2 main elements: mother's bar - a relatively strong bullish or bearish candle, inside bars - the following candles that a trading within the range of the mother's bar. The breakout of the range of the mother's bar may quite accurately confirm the reversal. A bullish breakout of its range and a candle close above that usually initiates a strong bullish movement. Bearish Inside Bar A bearish breakout of the range of the mother's bar and a candle close below that usually initiates a strong bearish movement. ________________________ Doji Candle (Morning Star) By a Doji we mean a candle that has the same opening and closing price. Being formed after a strong bearish move, such a Doji will be called a Morning Star. It signifies the oversold condition of the market and the local weakness of sellers. Such a formation may quite accurately indicate a coming bullish movement. Doji Candle (Evening Star) Being formed after a strong bullish move, such a Doji will be called an Evening Star. It signifies the overbought condition of the market and the local weakness of buyers. Such a formation may quite accurately indicate a coming bearish movement. I apply these formations for making predictions on financial markets every day. They perfectly work on Forex, Futures, Crypto markets and show their efficiency on various time frames. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

💥 Bullish VS Bearish Candlesticks📍Bullish and bearish candlestick patterns are technical analysis tools used by traders to identify potential market trends and reversals. Bullish patterns indicate a potential rise in the price of an asset, while bearish patterns indicate a potential decline in price. 🔷 Bullish candlestick patterns include the dragonfly doji, hammer, tweezer bottom, morning star engulfing and three white soldiers. These patterns suggest that buying pressure is increasing and that there may be a potential for a trend reversal. 🔷 Bearish candlestick patterns include the gravestone doji, inverted hammer, tweezer top three black crows and more. These patterns suggest that selling pressure is increasing and that there may be a potential for a trend reversal. 🔷When using candlestick patterns for trading, it's important to look for confluence with other signals, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators. Combining multiple signals can provide a stronger indication of potential market movements and help traders make more informed trading decisions. 🔷It's also important to note that candlestick patterns should not be relied on as the sole indicator for trading decisions, as they are not always accurate and can produce false signals. Traders should always use a combination of technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis when making trading decisions. This is why its important to create and monitor your own strategy and backtest what works and what doesn't. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

📊 The Doji Candle Pattern📍What is the Doji Candlestick Pattern? The Doji Candlestick Pattern refers to a chart pattern consisting of a single candle. This pattern appears when the opening and closing prices of a candle are nearly the same or identical, resulting in a small-bodied candle with upper and lower wicks resembling a "+". Different variations of Doji patterns exist, with unique names like the Long-legged Doji, Gravestone Doji, Dragonfly Doji, and Doji star candlestick pattern. Regardless of the type, all Doji patterns provide traders with four critical data points: the open, close, high, and low prices for the given period. Doji patterns can occur on any timeframe and in any market, making them the foundation of many trading strategies 🔹Long-legged Doji The Long-legged Doji pattern has an elongated upper and lower wick and a small body The Long-legged Doji can be interpreted in several ways and works best when viewed in context with price action. It is a potential price reversal signal in a defined up or downtrend. If it occurs in a flat market, it suggests further consolidation. 🔹Dragonfly Doji The Dragonfly Doji sets up when the candle’s open, close, and high is approximately the same. Visually, the Dragonfly looks like a “T,” as depicted in the image below. This formation suggests that heavy selling was present, but the market has rebounded. As a general rule, the Dragonfly is considered a reversal indicator. A retracement in price is expected when it occurs at the top of a bullish trend. 🔹Gravestone Doji The Gravestone Doji pattern is the polar opposite of the Dragonfly; it appears as an inverted “T” and signals that heavy buying has given way to selling. The Gravestone Doji is a reversal chart pattern that signals downward or upward pressure may be on the way. The Gravestone suggests that a reversal is possible when observed within a defined uptrend. Within a downtrend, bullish price action may be forthcoming. 🔸Reversals Doji candlesticks can be a great way to get in or out of the market in trending markets. The Gravestone and Dragonfly are ideal for reversal strategies as they indicate forthcoming upward and downward movements in price. 🔸Breakouts One of the lowest-risk ways to utilize Dojis in the FX market is to trade breakouts. A breakout is a sudden directional move in price. Dojis often precede breakouts, as they are a signal of indecisiveness. As soon as the market makes up its mind, a significant move may be in the offing. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

🔎 A Look Inside The Candlestick Chart📍What Is a Candlestick? The formation of the candle is essentially a plot of price over a period of time. For this reason, a one minute candle is a plot of the price fluctuation during a single minute of the trading day. The actual candle is just a visual record of that price action and all of the trading executions that occurred in one minute. [b📍Who Discovered the Idea of Candlestick Patterns? It is commonly believed that candlestick charts were invented by a Japanese rice futures trader from the 18th century. His name was Munehisa Honma. Honma traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange of Osaka, considered to be the first formal futures exchange in history. As the father of candlestick charting, Honma recognized the impact of human emotion on markets. Thus, he devised a system of charting that gave him an edge in understanding the ebb and flow of these emotions and their effect on rice future prices. 📉Bearish Candle 🔹 Open Price: A bearish candlestick forms when the opening price of a currency pair is higher than the closing price of the previous candlestick. 🔹 High and Low Price: During the candlestick's time frame, the price moves higher than the opening price and then declines to form a lower low than the previous candlestick. 🔹 Body: The body of the bearish candlestick is colored red and represents the difference between the opening and closing price. The longer the body of the candlestick, the stronger the bearish sentiment. 🔹 Upper Shadow: The upper shadow of the candlestick represents the highest price achieved during the candlestick's time frame. The longer the upper shadow, the greater the bearish pressure. 🔹 Lower Shadow: The lower shadow of the candlestick represents the lowest price achieved during the candlestick's time frame. The shorter the lower shadow, the stronger the bearish sentiment. 📈Bullish Candle 🔹 Open Price: A bullish candlestick forms when the opening price of a currency pair is lower than the closing price of the previous candlestick. 🔹 High and Low Price: During the candlestick's time frame, the price moves lower than the opening price and then rises to form a higher high than the previous candlestick. 🔹 Body: The body of the bullish candlestick is colored green and represents the difference between the opening and closing price. The longer the body of the candlestick, the stronger the bullish sentiment. 🔹 Upper Shadow: The upper shadow of the candlestick represents the highest price achieved during the candlestick's time frame. The shorter the upper shadow, the greater the bullish pressure. 🔹 Lower Shadow: The lower shadow of the candlestick represents the lowest price achieved during the candlestick's time frame. The longer the lower shadow, the greater the bullish sentiment. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Judas Swing (Bullish Example) Part 2The Judas swing term was named by ICT, he dubbed this swing concept and utilizes it upon the London Open. The idea is, the market maker will rally or sell price, normally just above or below the Asian session high or low (depending on institutional order flow bias) tricking buyers or sellers into the market to follow its direction. As the Judas swing high or low is formed, price is quickly reversed either taking out stops and or leaving traders out of the game. The Judas swings happen on all time frames, but 1hr are the best for scalping or day trading- they happen a lot every week. * Please check out your favorite forex pairs on 1 hour time frame- you will see that they four (4) hour candlestick set up happens at the same time over and over. Why not trade it? Just figure out the risk management around the ATR of pair you trade. Noted on attached chart is: Example of a bearish Judas Swing on Eur/Jpy 1 hour chart and noted when you should not be trading RED x's and when you should be trading GREEN x's. Why? Because each day there are 12 hours of low liquidity and low volume and then there are 12 hours of high liquidity and high volume. Make Forex trading as easy as you can- trade with big banks not against them and remember that both time and price are most important in Forex. Good Luck, Panda Can you do a 50 pip box on this trade? 1:1 Risk Reward- is it worth it? It depends if you have a high win rate with 1:1 or you need trades to be higher.

How to Trade With Relative Strength Index (RSI) Indicator Hey traders, Relative strength index is a classic technical indicator. It is frequently applied to spot a market reversal. RSI divergence is considered to be a quite reliable signal of a coming trend violation and change. Though newbie traders think that the application of the divergence is quite complicated, in practice, you can easily identify it with the following tips: 💠First of all, let's start with the settings. For the input, we will take 7/close. For the levels, we will take 80/20. Then about the preconditions: 1️⃣ Firstly, the market must trade in a trend ( bullish or bearish ) with a sequence of lower lows / lower highs ( bearish trend ) or higher highs / higher lows ( bullish trend ). 2️⃣ Secondly, RSI must reach the overbought/oversold condition (80/20 levels) with one of the higher highs/higher lows. 3️⃣ Thirdly, with a consequent market higher high / lower low, RSI must show the lower high / higher low instead. ➡️ Once all these conditions are met, you spotted RSI Divergence. A strong counter-trend movement will be expected. Also, I should say something about a time frame selection. Personally, I prefer to apply it on a daily time frame, however, I know that scalpers apply divergence on intraday time frames as well. ❗️Remember, that it is preferable to trade the divergence in a combination with some price action pattern or some other reversal signal.

Resistance level identification and application Near the previous high, or when approaching it, or when reaching the psychological ceiling of the market or a position protected by bearish positions, the price may encounter resistance and pull back. The depth of the pullback is determined by its strength. However, once it finds support after the pullback, there is a possibility of continued upward movement. If the resistance level is broken, the price may further increase or even experience a rapid surge. Next update will cover the identification and application of continuation patterns in uptrends.

Learn How Support Becomes Resistance Support and resistance levels are important points in time where the forces of supply and demand meet. These support and resistance levels are seen by technical analysts as crucial when determining market psychology and supply and demand. Support is the level at which demand is strong enough to stop the asset from falling any further. Resistance is the level at which supply is strong enough to stop the asset from moving higher. The psychology behind support and resistance. First let’s assume there are buyers who’ve been buying a stock close to a support area. Let’s say that support level is $50. They buy some stock at $50 and now it moves up and away from that level to $55. The buyers want to buy more stock at $50, but not $55. They decide if the price moves back down to $50, they will buy more. They’re creating demand at the $50 level. Let’s take another group of investors. They were thinking about buying the stock at $50 but never did before. Now the stock is at $55 and they regret not buying it. If it gets to $50 again, they will not make the same mistake and they will buy the stock. This creates potential demand. The third group bought the stock below $50; let’s say they bought it at $40. When the stock got to $50, they sold their stock, only to watch it go to $55. Now they want to buy it back at the same price they sold it, $50. They’ve changed their sentiment from sellers to buyers. This creates more demand. A key concept of technical analysis is that when a resistance or support level is broken, its role is reversed. If the price falls below a support level, that level will become resistance. If the price rises above a resistance level, it will often become support. As the price moves past a level of support or resistance, it is thought that supply and demand has shifted, causing the breached level to reverse its role.

Market Reversal & Candlestick Pattern | Spot & Trade It Like Pro Candlestick patterns are frequently applied for the identification of early trend reversal signs. Here are the three most common reversal formations that you may encounter trading different markets: 1️⃣ - Equal inside bar formation Once the price reaches some important pivot point quite often it tends to form a weak candle with a long rejection wick (long in comparison to the buddy of the candle). In case if the consequent candle's body has the same range, we call that the equal inside bar. It can be treated as the reversal formation ONLY with additional confirmation. Without an additional trigger, chances will be high that the market will start a sideways movement instead. 2️⃣ - Engulfing candle Once the price reaches some important pivot point quite often it tends to form a weak candle with a long rejection wick (long in comparison to the buddy of the candle). In case if the consequent candle's body engulfs (has a bigger range) the previous candle, we call that the engulfing candle. By itself, it is a quite strong reversal signal and can be applied as a trigger for opening a trading position. 3️⃣ - Engulfing candle (2X) Sometimes, the engulfing candle engulfs not only the previous candle but also one more preceding one. We also can call such a candle a high momentum candle. It is considered to be the strongest reversal formation (among these 3) and can be applied as a signal for a trade entry. ❗️Remember that candlestick patterns work only on strong pivots /structure levels. Being formed on random levels, the performance of these formations is relatively low. Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Price Action Candlesticks Cheatsheet — The Best Patterns!These different price action patterns are great for various situations. They can be identified at a Lower time frame or Higher timeframe, pick a chart and start looking at the candles! If you identify any of these in a chart you are looking at today, feel free to share them below. Here is a little more about bullish and bearish candlesticks: Bullish and bearish candlesticks represent opposite market sentiments in technical analysis. They are used to identify the buying and selling pressure in a financial market, and help traders to predict the direction of price movement. A bullish candlestick is represented by a green or white candlestick that has a long body and a short wick or no wick. A long green or white body indicates that the closing price of the asset is higher than the opening price. It signifies that buyers are in control and that there is bullish sentiment in the market. The longer the body of the candle, the more significant the bullish sentiment. On the other hand, a bearish candlestick is represented by a red or black candlestick that has a long body and a short wick or no wick. A long red or black body indicates that the closing price of the asset is lower than the opening price. It signifies that sellers are in control and that there is bearish sentiment in the market. The longer the body of the candle, the more significant the bearish sentiment. Traders use bullish and bearish candlesticks to identify trend reversals, support and resistance levels, and to confirm other technical indicators. When a bullish candlestick pattern appears after a series of bearish candlesticks, it may indicate a potential reversal of the trend. Conversely, when a bearish candlestick pattern appears after a series of bullish candlesticks, it may indicate a potential reversal of the trend. No single candlestick should be used to make trading decisions, and traders should always consider other technical indicators and fundamental analysis before making any trading decisions.

Learn Engulfing Candlestick Pattern ☑️WHAT IS A BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE? The bullish engulfing candle appears at the bottom of a downtrend and indicates a surge in buying pressure. The bullish engulfing pattern often triggers a reversal in trend as more buyers enter the market to drive prices up further. The pattern involves two candles with the second candle completely engulfing the body of the previous red candle. ☑️HOW TO SPOT A BULLISH ENGULFING PATTERN AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN? ▪️Characteristics of a bullish engulfing pattern: • Strong green candle that ‘engulfs’ the prior red candle body (disregard the wicks) • Occurs at the bottom of a downward trend • Stronger signals are provided when the red candle is a doji, or when subsequent candles close above the high of the bullish candle. ▪️What does it tell traders? • Trend reversal to the upside (bullish reversal) • Selling pressure losing momentum at this key level. ▪️Advantages of trading with the bullish engulfing candle: • Easy to identify • Attractive entry levels can be obtained after receiving confirmation of the bullish reversal. ☑️KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BULLISH AND A BEARISH ENGULFING PATTERN Engulfing patterns can be bullish and bearish. The bearish engulfing pattern is essentially the opposite of the bullish engulfing pattern discussed above. Instead of appearing in a downtrend, it appears at the top of an uptrend and presents traders with a signal to go short. It is characterized by a green candle being engulfed by a larger red candle. ☑️CONCLUSION A Bullish Engulfing Candle becomes an excellent tool for the trader, once he masters how to use it properly! ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

📊 Candlestick CheatsheetCandlestick charts are commonly used in trading to analyze market trends and make trading decisions. Candlesticks can be categorized as bullish or bearish, depending on whether the price has increased or decreased over a given period. It is important to note that while candlestick patterns can be useful in predicting market movements, they should not be used in isolation, and other indicators and analysis should also be considered. It is also important to have a clear understanding of the market and its underlying fundamentals before making any trading decisions. 🔹 Rails The rails pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that typically occurs during a downtrend. The first candle is a long red candle, followed by a long green candle that opens below the previous day's close but closes above it, creating a rail-like pattern. 🔹 Three White Soldiers The three white soldiers pattern is a bullish pattern that consists of three consecutive long green candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Three Black Crows The three black crows pattern is a bearish pattern that consists of three consecutive long red candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Mat Hold The mat hold pattern is a five-candlestick pattern that occurs during a bullish trend. It consists of a long green candle, followed by three small candles with lower highs and higher lows, and ending with another long green candle. 🔹 Pinbar The pinbar pattern is a single candlestick pattern that has a long tail or wick and a small body. The tail should be at least two times the length of the body. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Engulfing The engulfing pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that occurs when the second candle's body completely engulfs the previous candle's body. A bullish engulfing pattern occurs during a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction, while a bearish engulfing pattern occurs during an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Morning Star The morning star pattern is a three-candlestick pattern that typically occurs after a downtrend. It consists of a long red candle, a small candle, and a long green candle, with the small candle gapping down from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Evening Star The evening star pattern is the opposite of the morning star pattern and typically occurs after an uptrend. It consists of a long green candle, a small candle, and a long red candle, with the small candle gapping up from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 👤 @algobuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

What is Gap in Trading | Ultimate Guide Gaps are important parts of the financial market, especially in stocks and currencies. They happen when an asset opens at a significantly lower or higher price than where it closed at. Gap is a situation where a currency or any other asset opens sharply lower or higher than where it closed the previous day. Such a gap happens when there is a major event or news when the markets are closed. It usually represents an area where there is no trading taking place. There are three main scenarios that happen after a gap in the market forms. First, an asset price can continue moving in the direction of the gap. For example, when a bullish gap forms, an asset’s price can continue with that trend. Second, a gap can be filled within a few days or months. Finally, a gap can be followed by a long period of consolidation as traders focus on the next major moves. In all these, it is always good to focus on the asset’s volume. The most common strategy of gap trading is when you decide to enter a trade in the opposite direction of the gap. In this case, you will be betting that the asset will reverse after forming a gap. Ideally, one way of doing this is to check the trends of volume after the gap happens. Still, the risk of doing this is that the asset will either consolidate or resume the gap trend. ✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅ Please, like this post and subscribe to our tradingview page!👍

The Three Black Crows PatternThe Three Black Crows or as otherwise known Three Soldiers are a formation of price continuation showing how the bears are taking control over the bulls to reverse the trend as we can see here. Price comes down buyers try to push it back up only to be reversed by sellers overpowering them so it falls back down the buyers try again but realise the bear is the almighty and with that last attempt they withdraw from the market causing a big sell off with a strong downward movement when just the bears remain key points: - last attempt of the bulls - price goes up and bears push price down every time - bears in control after a long uptrend shows prelude to sell

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS is the new KING ok here me out. i'll go straight to point this message is for the newbies (oldies gonna hate) what is pure Minimalist Technical Analysis Trader ( MTAT : i just made this up) -it is when u leave out all so-called indicators and focus on the chart -some of these indis are: MACD, RSI, ATR, STOCHT.... -it's when u leave out the FUNDAMENTAL analysis and focus on the chart pattern - i'm talking here about financial news and garbage flash news - didn't u sometimes realize that a news come out, but the dollar act contrary to the news it-self? HOW TO APPLY this MTAT ? let's be practical, but first u need to watch so many charts until ur eyes pops out (it's a prerequisite). 1- always pick a 4h-time frame chart 2- always brush ur teeth before bed time 3- always look for a bullish pair to trade (this is essential for the plan to succeed) 4- after identifying the bullish pair, start looking for SUpport & Resistance...but never make the chart too complicated, u really need like 2-4 lines drawn only 5- after u draw the S&R lines, look for retracements (the pair is going down slightly) 6- use the FIBONACCI drawing tool and draw from the lowest to highest point (before the retracement) 7- it's best to focus on the 61.8% line 8- look for a confirmation candle: a- a red Bar, which the low point of it touched (crossed) the 61.8% Fib line b- followed by a green bar which closed ABOVE THE fib 61.8% line c- place ur buy trade when the green candle closes 9- how to set your target: a- use the (-61.8% or -100%) FIb levels or b- use the Resistance line u drawn previously now the question is, do u really need MACD or RSI or STOCH? of course NO, if you google it, u'll know that these reflects previous price actions? so why use it for FUTURE price actions? what to do when big news are coming out? IT WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY THE PREVIOUSLY SET CHART PATTERN...this will never fail you DO YOU PLACE STOP ORDERS? NEVER, never put pre-set stop orders, you should be active on ur screen and wait for the price to fall to the price u set as a stoploss, AND CLOSE TRADE MANUALLY WHY?, because when we have big news, we have volatility the pair will go up and down so hard to close all stoploss orders then it will continue to obey the technical chart pattern as a fukn slave! let's practice: use the FIB Ret tool: identify the red and green candle: place your buy order: et voila.... #STOP_BEING_POOR

Learn to Read the Strength of the Candlestick | Trading Educati What it is? Candlestick rejection strategy is a pure price action swing trading strategy. It makes use of the concept of price rejection or candlestick rejection patterns to invalidate counter-trend momentum for a trade continuation. By applying such candlestick rejection strategy onto swing trading, it allows trades to capture spots at which market prices are at rest during retracements before rejoining back the existing dominant trend. How to use? Some trade recommendation for such candlestick rejection strategy is to use it as a candlestick rejection pattern on counter-trend moves. This means that we pick candlestick rejection pattern only for the sake of searching for breakout continuation with the dominant trend at counter trend waves.Entry can be made after the breakout occurs at the high or low of The Mother Bar and stop loss order can be placed at the opposing breakout side's high or low. Further trade help can also be incorporated to help increase the trade's probability of success. For instance, it can be used together with other technical tools such as dynamic moving averages and Fibonacci retracement tool.
