The Secrets Traders Don’t Want You To Know.

(thread)👇🏽

• Glossary

Bull (ish) = Price is rising
Bear (ish) = Price is falling

• Chart Types

- Candlestick
- Line
- Bar

There are more,
but these 3 are common.

We’ll be focusing on candlesticks in this thread, as it is the most important and the easiest one to trade.

• Candlesticks Explained

Stock Price movements consist of the following:

• Opening Price
• Closing Price

• High of the day
• Low of Day

Now that we know how to identify the opening, closing, high and low parts on a candlestick.

We must also learn about

- Upper shadow
- Real Body
- Lower shadow

Look at the diagrams below 👇🏽

Candlestick charts build patterns that predict price direction once completed.

Let’s check a few of them out 👇🏽

• 8 most know candlestick patterns

1. Doji Star
2. Morning Star
3. Evening star
4. Bullish Engulfing Candle
5. Rising Three Method Pattern
6. Bullish hammer
7. Inverted hammer
8. Shooting star

1/
Doji Star

It is when the opening and closing price of a security is almost the same. (Small real body)

It signals a potential reversal of a downtrend
(+ vice versa in a bullish trend ) 👇🏽

(It’s the candle stick in the middle)

Bullish Bearish

2/
Morning star

Is a bullish 3 candle pattern which is formed at the bottom of a move down.

Once you spot a doji, you wait for the 2nd green candle to give confirmation that it’s turning bullish, then you go long.

You set your stop loss at the previous red candles close.

3/
Evening star

It’s the opposite of a morning star. It’s a bearish 3 candle pattern which is formed on the top of a move up.

Once you spot a doji in an uptrend, you wait for the second red candle and go short.

4/
Bullish Engulfing pattern

It opens lower than the previous days close, and then closes higher than the previous days open.
(+ vice versa for bearish )

A bullish reversal is more likely if the bearish trend is oversold. But can’t be reliant just on its own

Looks like this👇🏽

5/
Rising Three Methods Pattern

The bulls are in control before pausing to see if there is enough conviction in the uptrend.

The red candles are considered consolidation before moving up again in an existing uptrend.

Sellers have no control.

Bullish set up 👇🏽

Bearish setup👇🏽

characterized by two long candlesticks in the direction of the trend, one at the beginning and end, with three shorter counter-trend candlesticks in the middle

This pattern shows traders that the bulls still don't have sufficient conviction to reverse the trend

6/
Bullish Hammer

Hammer candlesticks typically occur after a price decline. They have a small real body and a long lower shadow

The lower shadow should be at least two times the height of the real body.

The price must start moving up following the hammer to confirm upside.

7/
Inverted Hammer

This is a bullish reversal pattern, it signals that a stock is nearing the bottom in a down trend.

The inverted hammer looks like an upside down version of the hammer candlestick pattern (above).

When it appears in an uptrend it is called a shooting star.

8/
Shooting star

On the right side of the image is a shooting star pattern, it is the opposite of an inverted hammer.

It presents itself in an uptrend and usually precedes falling prices.
