Candlestick Analysis

Quantification of Candlestick Patterns !!!█  DISCLAIMER Are you looking for an answer for Best Quantification of Candlestick Patterns? you are not going to get here. It's just my thoughts about an indicator built on this concept that will be published next month (because I can only post two public indicators per month). Felt to discuss this with the community before head because I am excited to know your view on this. To make it better. █  OVERVIEW Thirty-seven different Candlestick Patterns are available in All Patterns Tradingview Indicator + The Boring Candle indicator totalling 38. █  QUESTIONS FOR THE READERS How many of you know about them and how to trade them? Do you feel Candlestick Patterns are reliable? If reliable, why do traders attach some trend rules to trade? If they already built based on trends? (In the above indicator, also we have the option of "Detection trend based on" option you can observe) Do you feel other candles not labelled in the above indicator are not telling any story about the price movement? If not, why are we not naming new names? I am not answering the above questions. There are so many posts with mixed opinions on the above questions. Yes, I know I am questioning an idea that has existed for more than one century. I respect the knowledge passed down to us to improve the work is our responsibility. That is a crucial role of the researcher. █ QUANTIFICATION OF CANDLESTICK PATTERNS? Here, quantification means mapping a candlestick pattern to a number or ratio specks about the trend. A basic example of Quantification is the Probability of a Bull Market i.e. Bull (Green Candle) → 1 Neutral (Boring Candle) → 0.5 Bear (Red Candle) → 0 Here 0, 0.5 and 1 are quantification based on Candles to tell the Probability of a Bull Market. Yes, these are not Candlestick patterns we are taking, but I feel you understand my proposal to deal with candlestick patterns. Let's talk about another example using Heiken Ashi Candles , and the same Quantification is the Probability of a Bull Market . Strong Bull (Green Candle with only upper wick) → 1 Weak Bull (Green Candle with both wicks and not Neutral) → 0.75 Neutral (Doji or spinning top candles) → 0.5 Soft Bear (Red Candle with both wicks and not Neutral) → 0.25 Strong Bear (Red Candle with only lower wick) → 0 I hope you understand the meaning of quantification better now. Now my idea is why can't we build a quantification system for general candlestick patterns based on position, volume, and other parameters (Your limit is your imagination !!!). Instead of using the same knowledge from the century, why can't we transform it into some oscillator and put the learning into actual work in trading. This is my attempt to brush some pine scripters to work on this. I share my work too soon. █ BENEFITS Since we are talking about candlestick patterns, there is a delay in picking trends, maybe two candles if you are looking at two bar play. which is significantly less when compared to conventional indicators like MACD, RSI, Moving Average etc., With the above discussed "Probability of a Bull Market" with some higher timeframe averages using Rolling OHLC and Rolling Heikin Ashi candles I published, I build a clean indicator that looks similar to RSI but is efficient in finding Over Bought and Over Sold Regions. Creating an oscillator based on candlestick patterns with more sensitive quantification than the proposed simple methods may lead to better trade trends than existing indicators. We can use volume, Price and candlestick patterns to obtain more trend related oscillators. █ MY FINAL THOUGHTS Maybe I am overthinking (I am a PhD Statistics Research Scholar. This is my bad habit). Ignore the idea if you feel this observation is not realistic. Wait till next month to get to know what I am talking about. I am bad at referring to books and indicators. If there is already any concept like this, please enlighten me. I am happy to acknowledge their thoughts. If you have built any indicators already, please share them in the comments section. If I am the first person talking about this, Kudos to me... █ REFERENCES All thoughts are from my head, so there are no references for this post. Stay Tuned... If you have any recommendations or alternative ideas, then please drop a comment under the script ;) Happy Trading

[Candlestick Patterns] Just need to know these three!#Candlestick #CandlePattern #Tocademy #Tutorial Hello traders from all over the world, this is Tommy =) I was unexpectedly surprised by many of you who liked and supported my last post about the basic concept of TA(Technical Analysis). Today I prepared a brief lecture about the Candlestick Pattern, one of the most fundamental phenomenon and behaviors that traders must be well-informed. In fact, we should be very familiar with these textbook contents and interpret it in a glimpse on the technical chart unconsciously. Just like we don't pay direct attention about each breathes when breathing, like we don't care each and all of the alphabets when we speak, or like we don’t perceive location of each keyboards every moment as we type, this very technique should be performed automatically and quickly by observing dominant formations of candlestick bars. As a matter of fact, comprehending market trends and price actions only by referring to the candlesticks is yet too spurious. It should be used in such a way to weight on certain scenarios in a macroscopic view, rather than deriving precise and specific PRZ(Potential Reversal Zone)s and distinguish the accurate market trend. It’s never like ‘The price must go up because this pattern just appeared’. Furthermore, I strongly believe that the reliability of the candlestick pattern strategy is declining especially in recent financial market, where we encounter countless non-traditional and abnormal situations that were not very common in the past. Hence among the existing ‘Textbook’ candlestick pattern strategies that can easily be found on Google, there are particular patterns that are still very reliable on current market and there are ones that are not as reliable as it used to be. So here, I will organize everything very clearly for you guys. The technical chart is well known as sort of a map tracing the mob-psychology of all the stakeholders in the market. Investors’ sentiments such as FUD(Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) and FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) that often cause panic buy/sell are visualized as data. Those with a clear understanding of the fundamental nature of how candlesticks are being formed, don’t even need to memorize these patterns one by one. As I emphasized at my previous post, candlesticks should be interpreted as a whole structure, unlike the line chart expressed in one-dimensional. Candlesticks are newly formed in each time interval and we can choose the timeframe for the chart that we are about to analyze. For instance, each candlestick in a daily chart is formed every day while each candlestick in a 5minute chart is formed every 5 minutes. Higher the timeframe of the chart is, longer-term the scope within the chart is. It is important as a TA analyst to start from macro-perspective with higher timeframe first, then go deeper to lower timeframe and find short-term factors. There are four independent prices composing a candlestick: open, high, low and close price. Open price indicates the starting point while close price indicates the ending point of a candlestick. Just like the wording, high/low prices are formed at the highest/lowest price during the time period of candlestick being formed. A bullish candlestick is when the closing price is above the opening price (i.e., when the price rises), while a bearish candle is when the closing price is below the opening price (i.e., when the price is falling), and the two are expressed in different colors (green & red or red & blue). The thick part between the opening and closing price is called the ‘Body’, and the thin part is called the ‘Tail’ (Wick or Shadow). Typically, the length of the body implies the strength of an ongoing trend. We learned from the textbook that the candlesticks with a longer body means stronger trend and those with shorter tails mean clearer trend. Back in the days, there was time when we could detect if whales are involved and deduct impulsiveness of ongoing trend when distinctly long bodied candlesticks with relatively high trading volumes take places. I am afraid to tell you that it is better to erase that memory. First of all, it is too obvious and cliché to announce that the long candlesticks with high volumes mean strong market trend. This criterion itself is quite vague and not 100% reliable to identify future trends or find insightful signals. Moreover, in recent days (especially in Crypto), whales like to deceive retail traders with a strong faith of trading volumes and since the future markets are becoming bigger, giving too much weight on trading volume paired to each candlestick is not as effective as it was when textbook used to work very well. I am not saying textbook is wrong. It just needs slight updates since the market we are dealing with keeps changing over time. In TA world, closing price of a candlestick carries a great meaning and thus closing prices at higher timeframes should very well be monitored to become a successful trader. Sometimes whales even battle aggressively right before a major closing time often causing a weird ‘scam’ moves with a high volume. As shown below, we usually find the price and time when certain TA variables (such as top/bottom of trendline, channels, pivot levels, and other indicators) are broken, meaning if the price has penetrated those variables successfully, in order to find breakout entries, stoplosses, and target prices, etc. This whole concept of breaking above or below is quite vague, subjective, and relative idea. So, what we traders refer to as a reliable criterion is confirming whether the candle closed above and below the factors. For instance, let’s say that we are seeking and waiting for the breakout of the downward trendline. Well sometimes it’s not as easy as expected to precisely spot and determine whether the price has successfully pierced through the trendline. There are times when price breaks the trendline, but ends up coming back below leading close price of the candlestick to be formed below the trendline like the case 2 below. In this very case, it’s difficult to determine whether the breakout happened successfully or not. Nevertheless, like case 3, when both closing and high prices are formed above the trendline, we can clearly confirm and weight more on the breakout scenario, expecting more bullish rally. Okay let's get to the point. In recent financial trading market, it's enough to know just these three. 1. Engulfing 2. Doji 3. Long Tailed Candlestick As mentioned above, there’s nothing hard if you understand the essential concepts and principles of the above patterns and phenomena. The engulfing candlestick is a phenomenon in which the body of the previous candle is consumed by the body of the next candle, that is, a larger body than the previous one comes out. In other words, if a new bullish candle closes higher than the previous open price or if a new bearish candle closes lower than the previous open price, we say ‘the new candlestick engulfed the previous one’. If we look closely, this pattern implies the circumstance where the new candle completely overwhelms the trend of the previous candle and reverses it into a new trend despite closing the price from above or below. However, the appearance of an engulfing candle does not mean that the trend is unconditionally reversed. It is often the case that engulfing candles take place consecutively, with the second candle taking over the body of the first candle, the third’s taking over the second’s, the fourth’s taking over the third’s and so on. As the price fluctuates up and down, it creates a Widening or Broadening pattern also known as expanding sort of shapes, making it difficult for traders to figure out the current trend. In this circumstance, the entry prices, stop loss prices, target prices, or average prices of many participants in the market tend to be located relatively nearby. This price range or region is called a HVP(High Volume Profile or Peak) or an Orderblock and I will cover details about this concept later on another post. Anyway, there are numerous methods to derive Orderblock and one of them is to spot bodies of the consecutive engulfing candlesticks. The tail(wick) of a candlestick can be interpreted as a sign of the fierce battle between the bulls are bears. Longer tail signifies bigger collision between buying and selling forces. The longer the upper tail, the more the bulls trying to raise the price up but the bears rejecting them eventually sellers ending up being dominant and vice versa for the longer the lower tail. Generally, when the long upper/lower tails are formed at a relative higher/lower part of the wave structure or at a distinctive pullback as a PRZ this can be a possible signal of trend reversal. Due to my personal trading experience, it doesn't matter much in recent TA market whether the long-tailed candlestick is a bullish or bearish. In other words, regardless of the color of Hammer or Shooting star (which are both long-tailed candlestick pattern), it’s better to check if the next following candlesticks are being formed opposite direction of the tail. Personally, I don't think the Inverted Hammer and Hanging Man are not as necessary as it used to be in the old days. When the length of the candlestick’s body is relatively short meaning if the open and close prices are very close, forming a cross like shape, it’s called a Doji. Since Doji has a short body, the upper and lower tails tend to come out longer and thus can be considered as evidence of a tense confrontation between the bulls and bears that eventually ends up reaching a balance. Similar to the long-tailed candlestick, Doji is also known as a sign of a PRZ depending on the next appearing candlesticks. When Dojis are observed after swing high or low, it can be a possible indicator that the on-going trend is overheated and you might want to anticipate some pullbacks. However, it is too risky to directly assume that the top or bottom is near just because of Doji. Especially in the market these days, Dojis also appear frequently in sideways and sometimes confuses traders searching for a clear trend. As emphasized above, as with other technical techniques, theories, and indicators, always remember to weight more to the emergence of patterns in higher timeframes and longer-term perspectives. The higher timeframe people globally refer to, the more the reliability the TA will be. Just think about it for a second. Which timeframe do you think that people consider more significantly about the closing price, a 5 minutes chart or a daily chart? I would obviously say that the price signals from the daily cart is relatively more representative and reflect longer-term than those of the 5 minutes chart. Keep in mind is that you also need to understand market trends from a macro perspective before approaching towards short-term perspective. It is always recommended to recognize long-term trends or situations in advance from the candlestick of a higher timeframe, and then look at more detailed and microscopic elements step by step. All right. I will wrap up now. Thanks for reading my post. Your subscriptions, likes, and comments are a huge inspiration for me to write more posts!

Bearish Pressure Zone (3 Candles In Row With Upper Wicks)Chart example is of a Bearish Pressure Zone: 3 consecutive price bars with upper wicks (VERY strong/either bearish or bullish setups) Note: Make a zone from top of highest wick to top of highest close with one of the consecutive wicks, this is what you use as you risk or initial stop loss. Price Action is not about price, but more importantly about decisions other traders/big banks are making related to price action. Half of Forex trading is psychology (see Mark Douglas- You tube or google him)- might even read and/or buy his trading books. Wick Psychology: When we have three consecutive bars with overlapping lower or upper shadows, the traders undergo the same emotional cycle three times, all within a compact price range. But these wick bars can be in close area of each other, they do not have to be three in a row, see bullish pressure zone on the attach chart for an example.

Price Pressure Zones :Bearish & BullishTrade Plan: Locate Buying and selling pressure zones implied by the lower and upper shadows/wicks of candlestick price bars. These areas have THREE rejection shadows or wicks in a relatively close area or time period. These pressure zones can be done on 15 minute time frames, but 1 hour, 4 hour or daily charts are stronger and more reliable. Look at attached chart ( do you see numbers 1, 2 and 3? rejection lower shadows or wicks)- this suggest future bullish or buying trading. * Buy next 1 hour candlestick bar (blue on chart) after the three rejection lower shadows or wicks, with right risk management under your strategy and plan. Pro Tip: A strong pressure zone is not defined just by one pin bar!!! These need a minimum of three rejection shadows and/or wicks, which make these zones ones which the big money or big banks have a wall up that they do not want price action to go thru at this time. Never fight big money/banks- trade with them. Bullish Pressure Zones- Multiple price bars with lower wicks Bearish Pressure Zones- Multiple price bars with higher wicks Common Mistake: The buying or selling pressure found on a single price bar might not be sufficiently reliable for a trading setup. Instead of a single bar, look for at least three consecutive bars with overlapping upper or lower shadows. When multiple shadows overlap the create a price zone that is more likely to exhibit the buying or selling pressure you anticipate.

Are Wicks Important? Types Of Wicks: Fill, Rejection & ReversalPlease look at your own charts: Do you see all of the following? Wick Fills? These type of wicks happen going with the trend and get filled with further price action on chart. Rejection Wicks? Mostly happen at key support and resistance zones or key quarter theory psychological numbers, a lot of traders have orders there. Reversal Wicks? Happen at key areas mostly on 1 hour, 4 hr, daily, weekly and even monthly charts- these are areas with large wicks in past which once price action comes into these areas at key resistance and support areas- will accumulate orders and reverse directions. See attached 1 hour charts---- How many different types of wicks can you see and/or spot.... you need to see quarter theory psychological numbers in actually real live time when trading Forex. Always start with monthly charts and keep going lower until you are trading with the chart of your choosing. Higher time frames will give you better risk to reward opportunities then under 1 hour... If you truly understand wicks- you will be a better trader and know if you scalp trade, day trade or position trade when to look for quick wick fill candles to catch some quick pips. These are the easy Forex trades to do, make sure you are trading during high liquidity and volume time periods only.

Elements Of Candlesticks (You Need To Know)Each Candlestick consists of four important elements: 1) The Body- Large bodies equals more liquidity and more volume involved in candlestick, smaller is other side which is smaller liquidity and volume. 2) The Length Of The Wicks- Larger wicks equals higher or lower rejection of price action, from the other side. Example: Pin bar candlestick at top of a bullish run up equals bulls are losing their strength and bears are starting to get control over current price action. 3) The Ratio Between The Body And The Wicks- Example: Doji or indecision candlestick generally has around same length of upper and lower wicks and bodies are small- so both bears and bulls are at a stand off with each one not winning at the moment... sideways price action. 4) The Position Of The Body- Look to left, what do you see? Where are the quarter theory lines on charts- you can plot all xxx000, xxx250, xxx500 and xxx750 lines which are the standard ones to either highlight or be aware of on any chart you trade from. Did current body make either a pin bar candlestick pattern, harami candlestick pattern or an engulfing candlestick pattern? You need to know that 12 hours a day in Forex is high liquidity and high volume times: End of Tokyo to End of London, this is when most big moves happen. You can google or YouTube more on Quarters theory which I strongly advise you implement in all of your trading, specially in this choppy price action. Do not be greedy and protection your profits- risk management is always #1. Understand each pairs ATR, lot size , pip value so you can only use 1% to 2% of account per trade, if you slowly grow account using compounding in Forex trading and be a successful trader. Good luck and Good trading.

Engulfing-Harami-Pin bar (only setups you need to trade)Only Three Candlestick setup you need to totally understand to trade Forex - Successfully!!! 1) Engulfing- An engulfing pattern is a 2-bar reversal candlestick pattern. The first candle is contained with the 2nd candle. A bullish engulfing pattern has a red candle engulfed within a green candle. A bearish engulfing pattern has a green candle engulfed within a red candle 2) Harami- The Harami candlestick is a Japanese candlestick pattern that comprises of two candles which indicates a potential reversal or continuation in the market. The word ‘Harami’ is derived from the Japanese word for ‘pregnant’ which is representative of the Harami candlestick pattern. The Harami candlestick pattern can signal both bullish and bearish indications as charts notes. 3) Pin Bar- The pin bar is a candlestick pattern that has a long tail up or down and represents the price rejection at support or resistance level in Forex trading. The pin bar is the most powerful and effective candlestick pattern in technical analysis. It gives a reversal signal but there are many other ways too to use pin bar in technical analysis like it is also used to draw SR flip level. If you thoroughly understand how to trade Engulfing, Harami and Pin Bar candlestick setups on 1 hour or higher is better- you will succeed in Forex. Always trade Price Action (just chart price) and maintain proper 1% to 2% risk management per trade (use total of trading account)- then you can set stops, lot sizes and targets of trade. Good Luck!!! Keep trading Forex trading as simple as possible- no need to complicate this endeavor. Look at quarter levels on charts or ex: 000, 250, 500 and 750, as noted on chart 000, 0000 and 500 were great levels of these candlestick patterns and reversals. Have Plan & Trade Plan.

Japanese Candlesticks: learning to read and understand🕯 ✅Japanese candlesticks are the most popular way to read the price movement on charts. They are visual, easy to learn and the main thing is that they work. ✅The first mention of candle patterns can be found in the Japanese rice trader Homma Munehisa in the 1700s. Almost 300 years later, candles were rediscovered by Steve Neeson in his book titled "Japanese Candles. Graphical analysis of financial markets". ✅Candlestick charts provide much more information compared to linear charts and are currently the preferred market analysis tool for traders and investors. What are Japanese candles? 🟢Each of the candles tells us four facts about itself: the opening price, the maximum price movement, the closing price, and the minimum price movement. ⏺A bullish candle is formed when the price rises. In financial markets, the term bullish means a long position or a buy. ⏺A bearish candle is formed when the price falls. In financial markets, the term bearish refers to a short position or sale. ❗️The body of the candle is the space between the opening and closing of the candle. If the body is green, it means that the closing price of the candle is higher than the opening price. If the color is red, it means the closing price is lower than the opening price of the candle. ❗️Candle wicks represent the highest or lowest points that the candle has reached. 🟢Each candle represents a selected time frame or time interval during which it opens and closes. For example, on a 4-hour chart, candlesticks open and close every 4 hours. 🟢If we line up several candlesticks, we can compare them with a linear chart. Candle wicks also show price fluctuations. Thus, we immediately get the maximum information that we need for effective market analysis. ⚠️A trader who knows how to analyze and interpret candlestick patterns or patterns already understands the actions of financial market participants a little better. ❤️ Please, support our work with like & comment! ❤️

How to Accurately Read My Schiff PitchforkAnother link to the Schiff Pitchfork idea is also below in "Related Ideas" : I realized that sharing my Schiff Pitchfork idea may not have been sufficient enough to allow others to be able to use it efficiently and accurately. I wanted to make a video that shows people how I use the Schiff Pitchfork to trade and analyze; Along with some extra tips. The video is 20 minutes, but well worth it and shows my analysis for BTC since I have came back to charting this January 13th. In related links, you can also find the idea "BTC End above 41,700 potential". That idea shows some of the analysis on the movements during those times. Thank you for watching the video. I hope you enjoyed it. Stay Healthy and Stay Safe.

ICT Market Maker Sell ModelFirst you must have a clean consolidation which you are anticipating that it will be taken once market come up. Secondly you must have an old low Significant OB which market is chasing it(magnetic) and you know that after market taken out that old low then it will reverse quickly to come up to attack your consolidation. And finally you will investigate if you have any bearish SMT divergence that will give you a confidence that market will chase that old low

FB waited Long positionFB stock repeating July 2018 pattern. Expect price to further decrease until it increases. The difference here is that MACD has already crossed over into bearish territory. Stochastics has moved into oversold territory and weakness in the trend shown by the RSI is looking oversold. RSI signal line of 41 is still in range between 50 and 20. This shows that there is room for the stock to further dip. Either wait for 6 months to get a bullish candle with confirmation candles to enter the trade (approximately July 2022). If taking a long-term position (greater than 1 year) and it's ok to take a temporary drawdown or to dollar cost average, it is a good buy right now. Otherwise, it's better to wait till July and see if the price starts appreciating again as an entry trade. Risk Disclaimer *Futures, stocks, exchange traded funds and spot currency trading have large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures , stocks, and forex markets.

Types of Engulfing Candlestick Pattern Bullish Engulfing Pattern Bearish Engulfing Pattern #1 Bullish Engulfing Pattern Bullish Engulfing pattern consists of two candle formations, the first candle is the small body and the second candle is the bigger. The second big candle should be fully engulfed than the previous small candle. This is called the bullish engulfing pattern. #2 Bearish Engulfing Pattern Bearish Engulfing pattern consists of two candle formations, the first candle is a small Bullish candle and the second is the bigger bearish Candle than the previous bullish candle. The Second big bearish candle should fully engulf the previous one or more small candles. This is called a bearish engulfing pattern.

Reversal candlestick patterns in crypto you only needHello, everyone! While Bitcoin is playing out our long signal it’s time for educational content. Today I wanna show you the candlestick formations which predict the reversals in crypto. I know that in the books we can find more formations with different names, but in practice only these patterns does matter in reversals. All these formations play out with the best performance on the 4h+ timeframes. Bullish Formations 1. This is the strongest bullish formation. When we observe the downtrend and the bullish hammer candle with the increased volume appears at the end, it is almost 100% sign of reversal, the huge bounce or the new uptrend is anticipated when you see this pattern. 2. This formation does not mean that the downtrend is finished, but the big bounce can be anticipated. 3. This formation is the weakest. If it appeared we can wait just for the local bounce. Bearish Formations 4. The strongest bearish formation which appears at the uptrend end with the increased volume at the bearish hammer candle. 5. The big correction can be anticipated if you see this formation but not the new downtrend. 6. Local correction can play out in case of this bearish formation. Please, remember that the candlestick formation without conformation can’t be the long or short signal. Exception are 1 and 4 formations. For other patterns we have to see the divergence to confirm the trend reverse. DISCLAMER: Information is provided only for educational purposes. Do your own study before taking any actions or decisions at the real market.

TRADING WITH SIMPLICITY ALWAYS GIVES YOU COOL STATE OF MIND .In the starting days of my trading I was also searching for the holy grails and trust me , I blow my 80% of account to using all these holy grails and when I started to keep trading simple with only 3 points that are - 1) TREND 2) MARKET STRUCTURE 3) PRICE ACTION then it become so easier to be a successful trader and will only suggest you to work on it either you are a intraday trader or a swing this is the best and easiest method of trading . We will understand this process by the above example. In this chart there's a trendline coming from upside which I used as a parallel channel , when the price broke the L-1 line then I was only thinking to go short as the upper trendline channel has been tested 2 times so this could be the 3rd time may be a rejection could happen there's but as I said I'm a very conservative trader and looking for multiple confirmations so I didn't take the trade at 3rd POINT. But at the 4th time rejection I did it. Reason to trade there - 1) downtrend 2)bearish pattern of HEAD AND SHOULDER 3) price break the neckline as well as the major support level 4) with huge bearish engulfing candle Trade simple and captured a 25.7% move downside. I hope you all will understand what I want to say pure price action based trading is as simple as nothing to do with the indicators(I also used some indicators but that's a different kind of story and will tell in the next tutorial ).

CANDLESTICK PATTERN TRADING | Engulfing Candle 📚 Hey traders, In this post, we will discuss a classic candlestick pattern formation each trader must know - the engulfing candle. Key properties of this pattern: 🔑 Engulfing candle is a reversal pattern. 🔑 Engulfing candle can be bullish or bearish. ❗️Also, remember that this candle demonstrates the highest accuracy when it is formed on a key level (support or resistance). ⬆️Bullish Engulfing Candle usually forms after a strong bearish impulse. Weakening, the market keeps going lower forming bearish candles. However, at some moment, instead of forming a new bearish candle the market reverses. The price forms a bullish candle that engulfs the range of the previous bearish candle and closes above its opening price. Such a candle we call a bullish engulfing candle. The main feature of this pattern is the fact that its total range (distance from the wick high to wick low) & body range (distance from body open to body close) exceed the ranges of a previous bearish candle. Being formed on a key support level or within a demand zone it signifies a highly probable pullback or even a trend reversal. ⬇️Bearish Engulfing Candle usually forms after a strong bullish move. Reaching an overbought condition, the market keeps going higher forming bullish candles. However, at some moment, instead of forming a new bullish candle the market goes in the opposite direction. The price forms a bearish candle that engulfs the range of the previous bullish candle and closes below its opening price. Such a candle we call a bearish engulfing candle. The main feature of this pattern is the fact that its total range (distance from the wick high to wick low) & body range (distance from body open to body close) exceed the ranges of a previous bullish candle. Being formed on a key resistance level or within a supply zone it signifies a highly probable pullback or even a trend reversal. 📝Engulfing candle can be applied for scalping lower time frames, for intraday trading, or even for swing trading. Personally, I apply this candle on daily/4h time frames as one of the confirmations of the strength of the structure level that I spotted. Do you trade engulfing candle? ❤️Please, support this idea with like and comment!❤️

The Power of DojiA Doji is created when the open and close for a price are virtually the same. Doji tend to look like a cross or plus sign and have small or nonexistent bodies. From an auction theory perspective, Doji represent indecision on the side of both buyers and sellers. Everyone is equally matched, so the price goes nowhere; buyers and sellers are in a standoff. When it comes in a downtrend it act as a reversal pattern so we know that the bears power is weak, and bulls start to take control thus the price will go up and the trend will be up , when it comes in an uptrend the bull power is weak , bears starts to take control and price will eventually go down . But in technical analysis you cant enter a trade only from one sign so you should know you Support and Resistance area, draw your trend lines, use some indicators, and when you see the Doji know you know its the perfect time to execute the trade.
