[Candle Patterns and Previous Day High]

Recommended Posts

I call that reversal candle an inverted hammer. Some people just call it a hammer (saying if it's the other way up it should be called an umbrella). Others call it a shooting star. Doesn't really matter what you call it. Later in the day was a good time for range trading with 500V bars.

 

What made you settle on 1500V candles?

haha yea inverted hammers. Im no good with cande names. I guess the afternoon was good for quick scalps but I only took that one morning trade the entire day.

 

I played around with the several different settings on the volume charts and I found bearish/bullish englufing patterns on a 1500v chart at key levels extremely powerful. Spent the entire weekend going over charts... and the 1500v also fits my risk parameter. I guess its traders preference?

Just checked my Nilson book. It was a shooting star because it occurred at the top of an uptrend. An inverted hammer is the same candle but occurs at the bottom of a downtrend. It's all nit-picking in my opinion. It was a reversal candlestick, that's what matters.

 

I find 1500V is usually a bit slow for me but as you say it's all question of preference.

To be technical, an inverted hammer is bullish, what you have is a shooting star. Not that its that important.( inverted hammer and shooting stars look the same though--I guess just to confuse people;) )

Hi Soul, I am curious, what did you mean when you sayed "volume dryed out here " I understand each and every bar stand for the same amount of contracts.... did you have other criteria there to determine there was less volume there ?:rolleyes: or at the last part... "low volume".. thanks Walter.

Hi walterw,

 

I was also looking at a 5min and 30min chart. Although price was lifting, we were seeing low volume rallies. The big boys or traders that matter to move prices were simply not around. I should of been more clear about it but I am always interested to see whether the big boys are supporting the move up or down. In the afternoon, they are simply not there.

 

Regarding my exit and how I mentioned low volume..... I was reading tape and tape was stuck in a traffic jam. Also, 1500v bars were starting to form extremely slow and told me that there was not too much interest on the supply side. Tape showed lack of supply once it hit below 265.. and it kept hovering between 263-267 for 5mins or so. I decided to book profits at that point due to the lack of volume and interest. Hope this makes sense.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
