Candles sum up the price action over a set period of time: on a 5 minute chart, each candle represents 5 minutes of price behavior, whereas on a daily chart, only one candle is produced per day. The body of the candle constitutes the range between the open price and close price, whereas the wicks or shadows of the candle indicate the high and low over that period of trading. Various color schemes are used to determine whether the price movement represented by the candle is bullish (increasing in price) or bearish (decreasing in price); bullish candles are usually white, blue, or green, whereas bearish candles are usually black or red. Longer candle bodies demonstrate strong momentum and decisive market behavior in the movement from open to close; longer shadows, however, demonstrate increased volatility, since some prices were reached during the time period but ultimately excluded from the range between open and close. Smaller candles can indicate the market's indecision, disinterest, or a balance between bullish and bearish forces Similarly, a candle that is almost all wick implies that, regardless of the range of prices occurring in the time period, the open and close were extremely close; these candles are referred to by the Japanese term, doji A doji or small candle with a very long wick in one direction is referred to as a pin bar, which is often interpreted as a sign of potential trend reversal By contrast, a marabuzo candle has a large body, and almost no wick, implying that price action has been more definitive There are two important, rudimentary patterns that play out over at least 2 candlesticks: An outside bar is a bar with a higher high and a lower low than the previous candlestick, often with a body that also encompasses the price range of the previous bar's body; an alternative variation is the engulfing bar, which simply has a higher open and a higher close, regardless of the candle's shadows or wicks. By contrast, an inside bar is a bar, or series of bars, with a high and low encompassed by the preceding candle; in this case, the variation is the harami, a bar or series of bars with an open and close within the range of the bar preceding it

  1. Don’t you every waste your time on such a software which will eventually engulf all your deposited money, try something which is automated and will work for you like a pro trader. In this regard my recommendation is this app >>>https://www.facebook.com/NewOptionsTrading/app/190322544333196/ .
  2. I’ve learned this lesson over last few years, that don’t just blindly believe in something without confirming its truth because of some harsh experiences with binary options trading apps. But when I saw this app >>> https://plus.google.com/u/5/112753980861959598865/posts/KTn5DTNZH9m .I was astonished by the reviews that people all around the world gave and something that other apps were missing in their portfolios. I used this app and its results were exactly how they were presented in their website. So don’t waste your time on other apps and come to this.
  3. I was always skeptical about options trading because it always seemed to be scam but after I was hit by the recession, I got worried about the stability of my job and wanted to find a backup plan. So I tried this app ( Check out this post >>> https://plus.google.com/u/1/102135744004462700008/posts/TyEZS9GsAQo ) and it worked out very well and I was earning money as soon as I started. I ended up getting laid off and to be honest, I’m doing better today than I had been at my job. I recommended this app to everyone.
  4. Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Brogan Unbelievable Forex Formula (Sure I saw it on Google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin after many years amazingly generated an impressive amount of dollars with it.
