Forex Candlesticks

Candlesticks provide an excellent visual perspective on the price movement of a stock. Easy to interpret and use, memorable descriptions, and excellence in highlighting swing points make them an essential tool in swing trading.

Candlesticks Evaluation

Candlesticks should not be used in isolation to generate trading signal s. There are too many other factors that impact on price.

Doji Candlesticks

Doji is formed when the open and the close price are virtually equal. Despite that the upper and lower shadow s may vary, the actual Doji candle looks like a cross or a plus sign.

Doji candlesticks have the same open and close price or at least their bodies are extreme ly short. A doji should have a very small body that appears as a thin line.

CANDLESTICKS — JAPANESE

Overview

In the 1600s, the Japanese developed a method of technical analysis to analyze the price of rice contract s. This technique is called candlestick charting.

Candlesticks have grown in popularity since they were introduced to the western hemisphere by Steve Nison, author of numerous books on candlestick patterns including Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques.

Candlesticks Basics

Japanese candlesticks originate from the Japanese rice trading market s in the 1700’s. They were used to track rice futures on the world’s first futures exchange.

Candlesticks provide an excellent means to identify short-term reversal s, but should not be used alone. A candlestick reversal pattern indicates that buyer s overcame prior selling pressure, but it remains unclear whether new buyer s will bid price s higher.

Candlesticks. however, are able to accurately pick up on the changes in trend that occur at the end of each market swing. If you pay meticulous attention to them, then they often warn you of impending changes.
