Doji Candlestick-Understanding

Doji Candlestick Pattern is very similar to Spinning Top and sometimes people get confused about it and take the wrong decision based on that. It is the same as spinning top except that the real body is always missing in Doji and if you take it flexible then very little variation can be acceptable means a very thin layer of body forms. Of course, as spinning tops the color of the Doji candle does not matter at all, if a very thin layer of body form, what matters is that open and close price is very near or same to each other. 

The Doji and spinning tools present indecision in the market. All the technical analyst takes Doji in a very different manner. Most of them treated it as a sign of reversal. Doji formation means that whatever the trend in the market is now going to be reversed or if you want to trade safe then do not take any trade on the Doji candlestick pattern. A spinning top is also very similar to Doji but the spinning top has a short or long real body while Doji is missing that body.

We will try to make some charts and understand the feasibility of this candlestick pattern;
                  The above chart of SBI has been taken from Money control website

Here we can see three Doji forms and every Doji is showing different results we cannot say that every Doji candle showing the same decision or reversal pattern.
In the first Doji, we can see that Doji forms at the downtrend and after that, it consolidates little and then starts reversal pattern, In second Doji candle it forms an uptrend and somebody could have taken a short trade here if he assumes reversal from here but there is not any change in trend and stock price moves from 171 to approx 196. In the third Doji candle also there are indecision shows as neither it is formed in downtrend nor its forms in a clear cut uptrend.

The one another example we have taken from IGL chart where we can see too many Doji formed, some can show you reversals but some don't show reversals, so it depends on our own analysis and expertise and practice. Very few technical analysts are there who take the trade on Doji and Spinning Tops. It's my advice not to trade on these and wait for one or two more candles for confirming your decision.

Candlestick-Heart of Technical Analysis

Candlestick-Heart of Technical Analysis Candlestick-Heart of Technical Analysis Candlesticks are the horror story for most of us, believe me, there is not any rocket science into it. Earlier there were only lines and bar graphs to study about the stock but the b ar and line graphs are difficult to study in detail analysis and less appealing. Japan introduces the candlestick pattern and it's being used since the 18 century in Japan. That's why it is called  Japanese candlestick.  While the westerns have no idea about it, around 1980, a trader named steve Nison discovered candlesticks in the western part. Due to its perfection and completeness, it becomes popular everywhere but still, it is known as Japanese candlesticks. This is favorite for most of the traders and easy to understand by everyone. I called it the Heart of Technical Analysis because technical analysis is best with these candlesticks only and without the knowledge of these candlestick patterns, you would be unable...

Do you know your investment !

Do you know your investment! Do you know your investment ! Investing is not only about money, but it is also about your emotions and hard work. If your investment is not fruitful and rewarding then you would not be motivated to do more hard work. A good and successful investment is like another earning member in your family who will take up your money, make your money work, and give you long-term returns. Investment is like buying today and consuming tomorrow, with an increase in quality and quantity. In other words, protecting our future and creating wealth. The purpose and meaning of investing can be different from person to person and profession to profession. Like the person earning 50k in a month, would be having a different investment objective, then the person earning 25k. Even their responsibilities would also play a vital role in investing, depending on their conditions, maybe the person earning 25 k is not having any major responsibilities while the person earns 50k ...

You will ask the best place to visit for breakfast from localities or your cab driver. He leaves you the place where you may find so many restaurants and stalls for breakfast options. You got confused that what would be the best as per your taste and pocket,you started to analys that where most of the people are going and what is the fo...
