How to read candlestick charts?

  • Anatomy of a candlestick. Strands (also called tails or shadows) are long, thin lines above and below the main body.
  • Open, up, down and closed. Each mark on a candle (as shown in the image above) represents an opening price, a closing price, a high or low price.
  • Examples of popular candle designs. The Hammerhead candlestick pattern, which consists of a short body with a long bottom wick, is at the bottom of a downtrend.
  • At the end of the line. Candlestick charts are the go-to choice for technical traders these days for a reason. They give you a lot of information that is not difficult to digest.

What are candlesticks trading?

Trading stocks with candles is an accurate way to evaluate stocks and their prices. With candlestick chart patterns, history is your guide. Time and time in the markets for stocks, commodities, options or futures, economic, social and market fundamentals determine prices in repeating patterns.
