trade rice in the 17th century. Candlestick

Notas do Editor

  1. To be on screen during arrival of potential delegate
  2. Candlesticks are formed using the open, high, low and close.   If the close is above the open, then a green candlestick is drawn. If the close is below the open, then a red candlestick is drawn. The filled section of the candlestick is called the “real body” or body. The thin lines poking above and below the body display the high/low range and are called shadows or wicks. The top of the upper shadow is the “high”. The bottom of the lower shadow is the “low”.
  3. Long green candlesticks means lots of buying is going on. The longer the body, the father apart the close price is from the open price. This means bulls are being aggressive and winning the battle with the Bears. Long red candlesticks means lots of selling is happening. The longer the body, the farther apart the close price is from the open price. This means that prices fell a great deal from the open. In other words, the bears were the aggressors this time and were winning
  4. Show short bodies on chart Easy on the eye compared to other types of charts Compared to traditional bar charts, many traders consider candlestick charts more visually appealing and easier to interpret. Each candlestick provides an easy-to-decipher picture of price action. Immediately a trader can see compare the relationship between the open and close as well as the high and low. The relationship between the open and close is considered vital information and forms the essence of candlesticks. Green candlesticks, where the close is greater than the open, indicate buying pressure. Red candlesticks, where the close is less than the open, indicate selling pressure.
  5. Go back one slide and show examples
  6. Bearish pattern at the top of an uptrend. What does “Bearish Reversal” mean?
  7. Note hammer half way along. Explain difference
  8. Find these at the bottom of a downtrend.- What does “Bullish Reversal” mean?
  9. The Hammer is a bullish reversal pattern that forms after a decline. In addition to a potential trend reversal, hammers can mark bottoms or support levels. After a decline, hammers signal a bullish revival. The low of the long lower shadow implies that sellers drove prices lower during the session. However, the strong finish indicates that buyers regained their footing to end the session on a strong note. While this may seem enough to act on, hammers require further bullish confirmation. The low of the hammer shows that plenty of sellers remain.
  10. Find these at the bottom of a downtrend. Note the inverted hammer or “Shooting Star”.
  11. Find these at the bottom of a downtrend
  12. Find these at the top of an uptrend
  13. Find these at the top of an uptrend Sometimes called Shooting Star The shooting star is a bearish reversal pattern that looks identical to the inverted hammer but occurs when price has been rising. Its shape indicates that the price opened at its low, rallied, but pulled back to the bottom. This means that buyers attempted to push the price up, but sellers came in and overpowered them. A definite bearish sign since there are no more buyers left because they’ve all been murdered. 
  14. Could be red too.
  15. Long-legged doji have long upper and lower shadows that are almost equal in length. These doji reflect a great amount of indecision in the market. Long-legged doji indicate that prices traded well above and below the session's opening level, but closed virtually even with the open. After a whole lot of yelling and screaming, the end result showed little change from the initial open.
  16. Gravestone doji form when the open, low and close are equal and the high creates a long upper shadow. The resulting candlestick looks like an upside down "T" with a long upper shadow and no lower shadow. Gravestone doji indicate that buyers dominated trading and drove prices higher during the session. However, by the end of the session, sellers resurfaced and pushed prices back to the opening level and the session low. As with the dragon fly doji and other candlesticks, the reversal implications of gravestone doji depend on previous price action and future confirmation. Even though the long upper shadow indicates a failed rally, the intraday high provides evidence of some buying pressure. After a long downtrend, long red candlestick, or at support, focus turns to the evidence of buying pressure and a potential bullish reversal. After a long uptrend, long green candlestick or at resistance, focus turns to the failed rally and a potential bearish reversal. Bearish or bullish confirmation is required for both situations.
  17. Dragon fly doji form when the open, high and close are equal (or nearly equal) and the low creates a long lower shadow. The resulting candlestick looks like a "T" with a long lower shadow and no upper shadow. Dragon fly doji indicate that sellers dominated trading and drove prices lower during the session. By the end of the session, buyers resurfaced and pushed prices back to the opening level and the session high.
  18. Tweezer tops and bottoms indicate the failure to achieve new price levels Reversal signs
  19. Tweezer tops and bottoms indicate the failure to achieve new price levels Reversal signs
  20. Lots of exhaustion candles
  21. Trendline clearly shows the points of S and R Must have 3 contact points to confirm. - The more the better. Horizontal and diagonal
  22. Connects the lower highs Bounces are trade-able Contact points will mainly be major highs Trendline as the name suggests shows the direction of the trend more clearly.
  23. Connects the higher lows Bounces and then breaks through Contact points will mainly be major lows
  24. Contact points will mainly be major lows Mention Key Levels. Clustering.- More than one code at once. Above we have trendline support, and S becomes R. Class must do exercises of drawing trendlines
  25. Don’t be clever, be obvious
  26. Downward channel Mention you very often get retests of the line. Don’t panic. Good chance to get in trade if missed it first time!
  27. Upward channel Mention you very often get retests of the line. Don’t panic. Good chance to get in trade if missed it first time!
