Candlestick Patterns
Candlestick Patterns are important stock patterns in technical analysis. It is originated from Japan and is now widely use by
Wall Street Traders as well as retail traders across the world. Candlestick Patterns work well in any financial market such as the
stock market, Forex market, futures market and any other markets. In addition, Candlestick Patterns work well for day traders, swing
traders and long term investors.
What are Candlestick Patterns?
Candlestick Patterns is a type of stock pattern that you can easily recognize on a stock chart and it allows a chart pattern trader
to interpret a stock chart better than Bar Chart, Line Chart, Dot Chart or any other type of stock charts. Candlestick allows a
trader to get stock ideas and find bullish stocks to go long or bearish stocks to go short.
Candlestick Formation
The candlestick pattern is formed by stock close, open, high and low. The white body shows that the stock is closing higher than
the previous day. If the stock is closing lower than the previous day, the body will become red so that a trader can easily see
the differences on a chart.
The following is a daily stock chart for AAPL and the chart is based on Candlestick Patterns. As you can see, each Candlestick Pattern
is different on the chart because the stock low, high, close and open is different on every trading day.
Candlestick Chart
If we group these candlestick patterns and plot them on to a stock chart, we will get a chart like the following.

The above
candlestick chart is a stock chart for MGM. As you can see, the length for each
candlestick pattern is
different because the stock prices are different for each day. The above stock chart is a daily chart for MGM, but you can apply
candlestick chart to any time frame.
How To Trade Candlestick Patterns?
Each Candlestick Pattern on its own has no meaning. Instead, a trader will have to study a group of Candlestick Patterns to get a hint
whether or not a stock will go up. Fortunately, you don't have to do this on your own, there are many well established Candlestick Patterns
that you can use. These Candlestick Chart Patterns allows a trader to buy stocks during a trend reversal as well as trending stocks.
Here are some of the popular Candlestick Patterns.
Bullish Engulfing Pattern
This is one of the most bullish patterns in Candlestick Trading. This is a reversal pattern that allows a trader to buy stocks during
trend reversals.
Here's how the pattern looks like.

Here is the requirement for a candlestick pattern to be considered as a Bullish Engulfing Pattern.
a.) The stock is currently trading in a down trend
b.) The first candlestick is a red candlestick representing a down day and the second candlestick must be white representing an up day.
c.) The body of the second candlestick completely engulfs the first candlestick.
When all the above condition is met, the Bullish Engulfing Pattern signals a buy on a stock. If the following conditions are met,
then it further strengthens the buying signal.
a.) The trading volume is strong on the second day where the candlestick is white.
b.) The Engulfing Candlestick engulfs multiple previous candlesticks.
c.) The stock is trading higher or gap up the next day (3
rd day), which confirms the bullish signal.
Let's look at the Bullish Engulfing Patterns on some real stock charts and see how well it performs.
The stock BPZ formed a Bullish Engulfing Pattern on 12/16 on a down trend. The stock then went from below $3 a share to over $4 a share
in less than 3 months. That's over a 50% gain.

The stock AVNR had a Bullish Engulfing Pattern in the end of December, and the stock went from below $2 a share to over $3 a share in a
little over 2 months. That is close to a 70% gain.

The stock EGY formed a Bullish Engulfing Pattern on 12/16, and the stock went from $5.6 a share to $8.69 a share in 3 months.
That's a pretty nice 55% gain.
Why Candlestick Patterns Work?
The reason Candlestick Patterns work so well in trading is because they are derived directly from the stock prices and they are
been use like any other technical indicator. All human beings act in similar ways and they react the same way when they experience
greedy and fear in the stock market or other financial markets. History repeats itself in the stock market because traders will keep
acting the same way in the future and that's how Candlestick Patterns are formed. A technical analyst has an edge against traders who
simply speculate and buy stocks based on guru's or friend's tips. Candlestick Pattern work well during recessions as well as boom market.
Does Candlestick Work Alone?
Candlestick does work alone. However, just like any other technical indicator, Candlestick Pattern work the best when you combine
it with other technical indicator such as the Volume, Stochastic, MACD, ADX, RSI or any other technical indicator you prefer. One
strategy you can use is to use Stochastic or RSI to measure the overbought and oversold area. Whenever, the Stochastic Indicator or
the RSI Indicator crosses above from the oversold area and if Candlestick Patterns are bullish, you can add the stocks to your
watchlist. If the trading volume increases at the same time, it produces a high probability trade setup.
