                             Japanese Candlesticks
                                                                                  What are Candlesticks?
Candlesticks are a method of charting prices for financial markets. They were the precursor to the modern-day
bar chart and are used today as an analytical tool by technical traders.

They are very similar to bar charts in that they are built using only four pieces of data:
opening, high, low and closing prices.

It is important to realize that candlesticks do not tell you anything different than a bar chart because they are
based on exactly the same data. However, candlesticks make certain patterns much easier to recognize.

Just like bar charts, candlesticks can be used in any time frame and are best used in conjunction with other
technical indicators.

                                                                              The Parts of a Candlestick
                         Upper Shadow

                         Real Body

                         Lower Shadow



The top of the upper shadow is the high for the period, and the bottom of the lower shadow is period’s low.

The height of the real body is the difference between the period’s open and close. If the real body is white
(“hollow”), the close was higher than the open; it was an “up” period. If the real body is black (“solid”), the
close was lower than the open; it was a “down” period.

When the opening and closing prices are the same, there is no real body. These types of candles are called doji
and usually signify a “market in balance.” The first two candles below are examples of doji.


                                  #1      #2       #3      #4     #5




                                  Here’s how you’d read the candles above:

                                  #1 - open, close and low were all the same
                                  #2 - open and close were the same
                                  #3 – close was lower than the open
                                  #4 – opened at the period’s low, closed at the period’s high
                                  #5 – opened at the period’s high
Bullish Candlestick Patterns
The Hammer

A candle like the one shown at the right that appears during a downtrend
can signal that the downtrend is over and a reversal is beginning.

        Characteristics: small real body (either white or black),
                         no upper shadow.
                                                              Hammer
                                                           (white or black body)

Bullish Engulfing Pattern

                                 This is a two candle pattern that can signal a reversal when it is formed during
                                 a downtrend.

                                          Characteristics: a larger white body candle follows and “engulfs” the
                                                            previous black candle.
                                          (i.e. the black candle’s open is lower than the white candle’s close,
                                             and the black candle’s close is higher than the white candle’s open).
                                          Since you’d need to wait until the second candle has finished being
                                 built in order to verify the pattern, you may miss a profitable trading
                                 opportunity if you use this pattern as an entry point. Another use of the
                                 Bearish Engulfing Pattern is as a support level for future prices. When prices
                                 retry the low of this two candle pattern, they will usually find strong support at
                                 this level.


The Piercing Pattern

This pattern can also signal a reversal when it appears during a downtrend. There are some important
differences between this pattern and the
Bearish Engulfing Pattern.

        Characteristics: after a black candle, a white body candle gaps
                         lower on the open, but closes within the body
                         of the previous black candle.



The Morning Star

The Morning Star is a three candle pattern
that signals a bottom reversal.

        Characteristics:
               1st Candle: long black real body
                2nd Candle: small real body (either
                    white or black) that doesn’t
                    touch the previous candle’s body
                3rd Candle: white real body that trades
                    into the range of the body of the
                    first black candle.
                                                                This can be a black or white body
Bearish Candlestick Patterns
The Shooting Star

When a Shooting Star appears                                                  This can be a black or white body
during an uptrend, it can signal a
bearish reversal.
                                                                     Characteristics: long upper shadow,
                                                                            small real body near the lower end of
                                                                            the period’s trading range,
                                                                            little or no lower shadow.




Bearish Engulfing Pattern
                                         This pattern is the bearish equivalent of the Bullish Engulfing Pattern.
                                         It signals a reversal in a rally.


                                                    Characteristics: a white candle occurring during a rally is
                                                                     followed by a black candle whose real body
                                                                     envelopes the white candle’s real body
                                             (i.e. the black candle’s open is higher than the white candle’s close,
                                             and the black candle’s close is lower than the white candle’s open).




Dark Cloud Cover

Dark Cloud Cover is the bearish equivalent of the bullish Piercing Pattern.
When it occurs during a rally, we expect a reversal is on the way.

        Characteristics: long white real body, followed by a black candle.
                         The black candle opens higher than the previous
                         close, but closes well within the body of the
                         white candle.




                                                                Evening Star

                           This bearish reversal is similar to the Morning Star pattern, except that it occurs when
                                               the market is in a rally and signals the beginning of a downtrend .
                                                                 Like the Morning Star, it is a three candle pattern.

                                                   1st Candle: long white real body
                                                   2nd Candle: small real body (either white or black) that doesn’t
                                                                   touch the previous candle’s body
                                                  3rd Candle: black real body that trades into the range of the
                                                                  body of the first white candle.

                                 This can be a black or white body

This can be a black or white body
  • 3. Bearish Candlestick Patterns The Shooting Star When a Shooting Star appears This can be a black or white body during an uptrend, it can signal a bearish reversal. Characteristics: long upper shadow, small real body near the lower end of the period’s trading range, little or no lower shadow. Bearish Engulfing Pattern This pattern is the bearish equivalent of the Bullish Engulfing Pattern. It signals a reversal in a rally. Characteristics: a white candle occurring during a rally is followed by a black candle whose real body envelopes the white candle’s real body (i.e. the black candle’s open is higher than the white candle’s close, and the black candle’s close is lower than the white candle’s open).
