Essential Chart Barometers: Candlestick Patterns

By Brad Morgan

One of the traders aids in developing methods of candlestick charts are the candlestick patterns. They are quite important when one is engaged in the creation of basic systems that would indicate a trend formation so you can commence trading.

Candlesticks have a design that displays the open, high, low and closing price of a currency, stock or commodity over a time frame. You can mostly mark the duration that you want to show.

Day traders typically choose 5 minutes though 15 minutes can be your selection for some cases. Longer periods could be picked for longer term trades.

The body of the candle characterizes the difference between the open and close values. If it is white (or green/blue on a colored chart) the open is the lower boundary of the elliptical body and the price marked up during the period you are studying. If it is black (or red on a colored chart then the opening price is the top boundary and the price plummeted.

Vertical lines poking up from top and down from the bottom are referred to as wicks. The highest position the price ever hit is the top of the upper wick division. The low is the bottom of the lower wick.

The trader can conclude spontaneously the price behavior from this analytical method. Bear markets are signified by green or white candles albeit bull markets are represented by red or black candles.

The connection of open and close values to high and low values can be noted spontaneously. Then there is a solid candle devoid of a wick.

It's called a Marubozu pattern. Prices never went greater or less than the opening and closing prices in this case.

If the body is black or red, the opening value was the high and the closing value was the low. If it is white or green, the opening rate was the low and the closing market price was the high.

A long body indicates a fairly steady direction either downward or upward. A lengthened wick either top or bottom signifies a reversal.

A candlestick has to be elucidated along with the previous ones in order to ensure precise trending. From there relatively intricate trends can be devised to delineate the trends in the future. - 23167
