Figuring out Candlestick Chart Patterns

By Brad Morgan

Candlestick patterns are established indicators that help a trader to define candlestick charts. This can be invaluable when making simple systems that will brief you when a trend is appearing so that you can begin a trade.

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

The ecommended time period is 5 minutes but you may desire in specific situations to consume 15 minutes. Mostly, longer periods are employed for longer term trading.

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 rectangular body and the price increased 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 tumbled.

The wick is the title given to the vertical lines that usually stick up from the top and down from the bottom of the candle body. The top of the upper part of wick is the highest stage that the price ever hit during the period. The bottom of the lower wick is the low.

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

The association of open and close values to high and low values can be discerned spontaneously. Then there is a solid candle without a wick.

This is referred to as the Marubozu pattern. In this scenario the values never went lower or higher than their opening and closing stands.

The high value as opening price and low value as closing price is represented by the red or black candle. On the other hand, green or white candle means the low was the opening price while the high was the closing price.

A long body means a relatively steady movement either up or down. A lengthy wick positioned on either bottom or top would signify a reversal.

A candlestick has to be read along with the previous ones in order to ensure accurate trending. From there relatively elaborate trends can be built to exemplify the trends in the future. - 23200
