A whole thread just for me !!?? Wow - you make me feel so good.
I am going to open a thread in the New Year specially dedicated to candlestick work. It should be a most interesting thread will many candlestick experts contributing. I expect a wealth of knowledge to be displayed.
Right now, however, you may have noticed that the forum is full of Newbies and no seasoned traders - reason obvious - it is Christmas and most of us are on holidays. I will be unavailable after Christmas till January 8 nest year.
In my thread proposed for next year, I will outline some specific things I have discovered with candlesticks.
But for now, to answer your question immediately and briefly :
The best reversal patterns are the morning and evening star patterns. Trade them only on the outer Bolinger bands and wait till the 3rd candle is complete.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all readers.
