Candlestick patterns
A basic technique of stock charting using candlesticks is to look for patterns that signal a reversal of trend. I made this page as a reference to show all the various patterns together to make it easy to compare them.
Frankly, I find most of these patterns a little like looking at constellations in the sky — they're much easier to see if someone draws the lines or highlights the pattern first!
