Glossary / Candlesticks

Long-legged doji

An educational concept. Not a signal, not a strategy, and not a trade Josh has taken.

A row of sculptural candlesticks: solid teal up candles and translucent red down candles, with wicks and no prices.
Illustration of the idea, not a market chart and not a result.

A doji with long wicks on both sides: price moved far in both directions and finished where it started.

How traders use it: Shows a large, contested period. Most informative at a key level after a strong move.

Common mistake: Assuming direction from it; it is balance, not a bias.
