Candlestick Pattern - Definition
What is a Morning Star Pattern?
A true morning star pattern is a bullish reversal signal, and
therefore, only occurs after an established downtrend in price.
Traders vary on what they consider to be a downtrend. Some
require lower highs and lower lows, while others require only a
short streak of consecutive lower candlesticks.

Well, here is my fovourite candlestick patters which i use to trade everyday:
Bullish Reversal
1. Shooting Star
2. Bullish Engulfing
3. Bullish Abandoned Baby
4. Piercing Line
5. Morning Star
Bearish Reversal
1. Hammer
2. Bearish Engulfing
3. Bearish Abandoned Baby
4. Dark Cloud Cover
5. Evening Star

Abandoned Baby pattern
The Abandoned Baby pattern is a rare occurrence but highly reliable.
It's a major reversal pattern, similar to the island reversal chart
pattern.

Bearish Abandoned Baby
• Reversal pattern
• Appears after a strong uptrend
• Formation of 3 candles
• 1st candle is a long green candle in the direction of the trend
• 2nd candle is a Doji gapping away from the candles on each side
• There must be no shadows or body overlapping the Doji
• 3rd candle is a long red candle
Bullish Abandoned Baby
• Reversal pattern

• Formation of 3 candles

Bar chart or Candlestick?

Japanese candlesticks are not lagging, they reflect price
action in an easier way to understand. Since they occupy
more space on the chart, the relationship between the
open and the close is clearer to observe than with
barcharts. Candles patterns are often ahead of indicators
to signal market reversals.
Key Points
• Candlestick patterns do not give price targets
• Can be used in any market and any timeframe
• Short bodies indicate indecision while long bodies show
clear opinion
• Shadows represent price extremes
• Don't analyze candle patterns in isolation, always
consider the prior trend (exception: Kicking pattern)
• Confirm with horizontal support/resistance levels or
trendlines
• For a signal, wait for the close of the candle to reveal
itself

• Shadows also called wicks represent the high and the
low of the candle or price extremes
• To the Japanese the action comprised between the
open and the close is the most essential
• The real body is the price action between the open
and the close
• The shadow on the top is called the hair and on the
bottom the tail
• A candle without shadows is called a Shaved candle
