i think the doji is the best and most underated indicator. it’s so conspicuous that it grabs everyones attention.

Hi Dave,
in this example with the doji at the top and divergence in the stochastic, would you then place your sell order when the stochastic breaks below the 80 point ?

Thanks

Anyone know what a bullish “gravestone doji” means? I’m guessing that the stock can’t get much lower, and the bearish trend is coming?

The video of the trading Eminis education was really very informative , simple and exciting .And very easy to understand
My technical question is , as far as the trend reversal is concerned, the spinning top, doji candles are indicative
Additional to these are hammer head and hanging man as well
so what i mean is all above candles does indicate reversal trend?, ofcourse with additional confirmation like stochastic and RSI

Hi Tarikdigital, I personally would not place much emphasis on a candle that opens and closes at the same level and does not have an upper and lower wick. The reasoning here is that the doji is meant to represent the battle between buyers and sellers as both try to drive prices in their direction (forming the wicks) but neither succeeds (forming the small body). If there is just a small body this to me would normally mean more that nothing was really happening during that candle. Best, Dave

Is the “candlestick” still called a “doji” if it does not have a wick, and opens and closes at exactly the same price? What is the implication of this type of candlestick?
