Traders closely observe the candlestick chart formations on the screen to make important trading decisions. Candlesticks are used to observe the open, low, high, close of a stock.
A Candlestick comprises of three parts
- Real Body
- Upper Shadow
- Lower Shadow
A candlestick indicates bullishness or bearishness of a stock. Based on that few names were given like Marubozu, Doji, Spinning Tops, Hammer, Hanging man, Shooting star. But I am not a fan of these names and I hate remembering such names. So I will try to explain this topic in a lucid manner in my further articles.
In the above picture of Candlestick anatomy, you can observe upper shadow, real body and lower shadow.
