THE CANDLESTICK TRADING BIBLE
What is a candlestick?
Japanese candlesticks
are formed using the open, high, low
and close
of the chosen time frame.
-If the close is above the open, we can say that the candlestick is bullish
which means that the market is rising in this period of time. Bullish
candlesticks are always displayed as white candlestick.
The most trading platform use white
color to refer to bullish
candlesticks. But the color doesn’t matter, you can use whatever color
you want.
The most important is the open price and the close price.
-If
the close is below the open, we can say that the candlestick is
bearish which indicates that the market is falling in this session.
Bearish candles are always displayed as black candlesticks. But this is
not a rule.
