discussions from gkp topic

as previously mentioned by F4T there are many interpretations on this, and i have seen many times where body the contained with wicks piercing the previous body do indeed work. so i think it just boils down to the trend, candles at support / resistance, and confirmation of following candles.

its funny how we started of with one candlestick pattern and now we are working our way through the rest

its a good subject but its a shame its taking place on the GKP topic
If i can ill try and move the posts to a relevant topic but its a lot of posts
it might take me a while

Also anyone can write an article. Just look at me as an example
Are they skilled to a high level????
That comments goes to me as well. Ive written all my own articles but who is to say that im right. I may be wrong. I never created the candlestick charting so i dont know it as well as the creator but people will come across my articles and think its gospel. The internet is full of errors and im sure ive made a few errors on my articles as well. Someone did point out an error on the way i described the 123 low on my video and the way i wrote it in the article. So its best to learn from someone thats wrote the system and not someone that just uses it his own way like me

my view is an inside bar is a second candle contained within the previous bar including any wicks, followed by another candle confirming the inside bar . i.e lower close than the inside bar candle.

Im not certain about that comment.but in most books a harami is contained inside of the previous candle. thats the first ive seen it described like that.Even the picture is how it should be so why put a picture up if it could be different??? who is the writer???
never the less as food4thought pointed out there seems to be more than one way to do it.
The person that introduced candle stick to the western world is steve nison and im sure he does not do it that way.Ive been to a few of his seminars in the past and he has never mentioned it like that.
If its done like that then you will get a whole load of harami all the time and that would beat the objective of a harami.

Thats not a bearish Harami if the high and low exceeds the previous candle.

'3. Then we see a doji completely engulfed by the real body of the first day on the second day. The shadows (high/low) of this Doji do not have to be contained within the first, though it's preferable if they are'
