Let\u2019s break down the different parts of a Japanese candlestick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like humans, candlesticks have different body sizes. And when it comes to forex trading, there\u2019s nothing naughtier than checking out the bodies of candlesticks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long<\/em> bodies indicate strong buying or selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer the body is, the more intense the buying or selling pressure<\/strong>. This means that either buyers or sellers were stronger and took control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short<\/em>\u00a0bodies imply\u00a0very little buying or selling activity<\/strong>. In trading lingo,\u00a0bulls\u00a0mean buyers and\u00a0bears\u00a0mean sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Long<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Long white Japanese candlesticks show strong buying pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer the white candlestick, the further the close is above the open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This indicates that prices increased considerably from open to close and buyers were aggressive. In other words, the bulls were kicking the bears\u2019 butts big time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long black (filled) candlesticks show strong selling pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer the black Japanese candlestick, the further the close is below the open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This indicates that prices fell a great deal from the open and sellers were aggressive. In other words, the bears were grabbing the bulls by their horns and body-slamming them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mysterious Shadows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, we\u2019re not talking about wearing dark smokey eye shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upper and lower shadows on Japanese candlesticks provide important clues about the trading session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper shadows<\/strong> signify the session high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower shadows<\/strong> signify the session low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candlesticks with long shadows show that trading action occurred well past the open and close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese candlesticks with short shadows indicate that most of the trading action was confined near the open and close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Japanese<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If a Japanese candlestick has a long upper shadow and short lower shadow<\/em>, this means that buyers flexed their muscles and bid prices higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for one reason or another, sellers came in and drove prices back DOWN to end the session back near its open price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a Japanese candlestick has a long lower shadow and short upper shadow<\/em>, this means that sellers flashed their washboard abs and forced the price lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for one reason or another, buyers came in and drove prices back UP to end the session back near its open price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
