Now, I would like to show you 2 other important Doji candles you should be familiar with. aLong Legged DojiThe long upper and lower shadows Doji candles are candles that are equal or almost equal in the length of their shadows. When you see Long Legged Doji candles you know that the prices were traded well above and below the time-frame open and close rates, and eventually the session was closed practically on the same price. Therefore, it indicates a great indecision in the market. The appearance of the Log Legged Doji candlesticks suggests high volatility and weakening of an existing trend. Therefore, a potential reversal might come next. Don’t base your trading decisions solely on this format. But when confirmed with other indicators it may provide good trading signals. It should be also used as a warning sign that enable you to exit an open position which took advantage of the prevailing trend. Dragon Fly and Gravestone DojiDragon fly Doji candles formation occurs when the open, high, and closing price are the same, however the low price creates a long lower shadow. This low shadow makes it look as the letter “T” while there is no upper shadow at all. When you recognize Dragon Fly Doji candles, you know that during the session the sellers were dominating. However in the end the buyers resurfaced and pushed the prices back up toward the session’s high and opening price. This Doji candlestick usually forms in times of high impact economic releases.

Its form take place when the open, low, and closing price of the relevant time-frame are about equal. In this case we have a long upper shadow that looks like the letter “T” but on the upside down. In these Doji candles There is no lower shadow at all. When you see a Gravestone Doji candle on your forex trading chart, you know that buyers were dominating the session.
