Japanese Candlesticks on OlympTrade

Candlestick analysis allows you to understand and predict the market situation without the use of trading indicators. Trading using Japanese candlestick involves the search for particular candlestick chart patterns that help to predict price changes. The models of candlesticks gained their popularity due to their informative, simple presentation of the situation on the market trades and high accuracy of signals.

How do you read candlestick signals?

One or several candlesticks on the chart regularly form combinations that help traders decide to open or close a trade. These combinations are called “patterns”.

Candlestick patterns are divided into models that point to trend reversal and models that point to trend continuation. All one needs to do is to wait for a certain model to appear on the screen and make a trade based on the corresponding prediction.
 

How do you trade using single candlestick patterns?

Some Japanese candlestick models consist of a single candlestick. In these models, the shape and color of the candlestick indicate a reversal or continuation of a trend.

To get the clearest signals, analyze single candlestick patterns for longer time frames – one hour or longer. To confirm signals, additionally analyze other patterns discussed below.

Hammer

The Hammer pattern is a trend reversal indicator.

Visually, this candlestick looks like a hammer with a small body of any color and a long lower shadow. There is practically no upper shadow. At the same time, the lower shadow is usually twice as long as the body.

In such a situation, open an Up trade if the price fell before this, and open a Down trade if the price rose before this.
 

Shooting Star

The Shooting Star pattern is a trend reversal indicator.

Visually, this candlestick looks like an inverted hammer, with a small body of any color and a long upper shadow. There is practically no lower shadow. At the same time, the upper shadow is usually more than twice as long as the real body.

In such a situation, open an Up trade if the price fell before this, and open a Down trade if the price rose before this.
 

Doji

Doji is an indicator of closing due to indecision in the market. It usually appears when the supply and demand in the market are at an equilibrium.

Doji looks like a cross: the opening price is virtually equal to the closing price, and both shadows are long.

In this scenario, the decision about the trade should be made in the context of the previous price behavior.

How to trade using 2 candlesticks patterns

You can often find candlestick patterns consisting of one green and one red candle on a chart. They are close to each other in a certain way and give a signal that you need to open an up trade or a down trade.

The advantage of such models is that they give leading signals. The accuracy of signals increases when the market clearly shows an upward or downward trend.

Bullish Engulfing

Bullish Engulfing is a combination where the boundaries of the body of a green candle are larger than the boundaries of the body of a red one. The green candle follows the red one and completely engulfs it. This means that the price of the asset has risen more than it has fallen before.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the end of the downtrend and the beginning of the uptrend.

Bearish Engulfing

Bearish Engulfing is a combination where the boundaries of the red candle body are larger than the boundaries of the green candle body. The red candle follows the green one and completely covers it. This means that the price of the asset fell more than it had grown before.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the end of an uptrend and the beginning of a downtrend.

Piercing Pattern

A Piercing Pattern is a combination where the body of a green candle starts below the body of a red candle. The green candle follows the red one, while the closing price of the green candle is in the area of the upper part of the red candle body.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the beginning of an uptrend. A Piercing Pattern works similarly to Bullish Engulfing, but it is not as strong. To confirm the signal, analyze other patterns as well.

Dark Cloud Cover

Dark Cloud Cover is a combination where the body of the red candle starts below the body of the green candle. The red candle follows the green one, while the closing price of the red candle is in the area of the lower part of the green candle body.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the beginning of a downtrend. Dark Cloud Cover works similarly to Bearish Engulfing, but it is not as strong. To confirm the signal, analyze other patterns as well.

Bullish Harami

Bullish harami is a combination where a long red candle is followed by a shorter green candle. In this case, the body of the green candle does not exceed the boundaries of the red body.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the beginning of an uptrend. To determine the trend more accurately, analyze the pattern together with a support line.

Bearish Harami

Bearish harami is a combination where a long green candle is followed by a shorter red candle. In this case, the body of the red candle does not exceed the body boundaries of the green candle.

As a rule, this pattern gives a signal about the beginning of a downtrend. To determine the trend more accurately, analyze the pattern together with the resistance line.
