How to Trade Currency - Candlestick Chart
Sunday, March 8th, 2009When learning how to trade currency, it is important to learn how to use the tools. One of the essential tool of making trading decisions is the Candlestick chart. The chart is a combination of bar and line charts, that depicts price movement over time. It is the key tool of technical market analysis, used to determine price movement patterns.
Candlestick chart consists of bars and lines that make so called “candles”. The body of a candle marks open and closing price in the interval, while the lines mark high and low price in the interval. The lines are also called upper and lower shadow. If the market opened at a higher price than it closed, the body is black, if the market opened lower - it’s white. It is common to use different color candles, such as blue and white, green and white, or green and red.
The sets of candles form price movement patterns, by which predictions of future price movement can be made. There are many of these patterns, from very simple to complicated. Below I will describe a few basic patterns.
White candlesticks indicates uptrend (or bullish market). If white candles are dominant in a certain period of time, it is likely that the trend will continue for a while. Black candles on the other hand, indicates a downtrend (bearish market).
Long lower shadow (the lines under the body are of the length of the body or longer) indicate bullish market, while long upper shadow indicates bearish market. This also indicates that the price has a tendency to go in a certain direction.
When the opening and closing prices are equal, a candlestick makes a Doji which indicates a neutral market. If a doji has no upper shadow, it’s called a Dragonfly doji and it indicates trend reversal. Same way if a doji has no lower shadow, it’s called a Gravestone doji and it also indicates trend reversal.
Spinning top is called a short candlestick among long ones. It indicates a possible trend reversal. The meaning of such a candlestick is that after a downtrend or uptrend the market has become indecisive, and more often than not, that means trend reversal.
Those are just a few patterns but they are the fundamental patterns from which derive more complex analysis. However, they alone are enough to make the basic trading decisions.
