Orderflows Inner Circle Weekly Webinar #26 –Candlesticks
When it comes to candlesticks I am not a purist in the sense that a shooting
star has to be preceded with a gap from the close of the previous bar. Yes a
gap would potentially make it stronger, but when dealing intraday you don’t
get gaps.
It goes back to when candlesticks analysis was originally invented. It was
based on the whole trading day. Not intraday which is how I am using.
I don’t know how rice was traded 300 years ago when candlesticks were
initially used, but up until about 15 years ago, Japanese Commodity Futures
were traded on basically rings. Where they would price would move up and
down until everyone was satisfied and everything traded at one price. They
could have 5 or 7 rings a day based on the commodity.
