today = doji candle = Candlesticks and candlestick patterns are the foundation to trading in my view. If you're a daytrader or swing trader, trading without the knowledge of reversing candlesticks is doing yourself a great disservice. While not every uptrend or downtrend ends with a reversing candlestick, most reversing candlesticks do end a trend if a prior trend is in place. by Tom Bowley
