The name comes from the appearance of their formation, looking similar to a pair of tweezers - and the can occur in a variety of formats - see the illustration below, however their highs or lows will always be the same. Image:Tweezers.jpg http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Tweezers A tweezers pattern should preferrably have the first candle with a long real body - the colour of this will depend on if it is a rising or falling market. The second candle is where the variation can take place as this could be a Hanging Man, a Shooting star, a Harami Cross or a Dark Cloud Cover for a Tweezers top. Or a Hammer, a Harami Cross or a Piercing Pattern for Tweezers bottom. However the one thing they must have is an equal high point for Tweezers top and an equal low point for Tweezers bottom. http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Tweezers As well as being a reversal pattern, Tweezers top and bottom can also be continutation signal. This happens when - say, in the middle of an uptrend you find a Tweezers bottom occuring. The stock/index will 'rest' and consolidate for a while mid way up the trend and in doing this may form a Tweezers bottom. It is at this point that a signal is given to buy into that stock before it starts to resume its upward trend. In other words the Tweezers bottom has formed an intermediate line of support from which the stock/index will bounce upwards. http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Tweezers Doji Definition: A candlestick with a body so small that the open and close prices are equal. http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Doji Image:Doji1.jpg With a doji there is no (or a very small) real body as it is formed because the buyers could not exert enough bullish pressure to push the price higher than the open, and the sellers could not exert enough bearish pressure to make the price go lower than the open. In essence the doji represents indecision. Doji come in several varieties as well, there is the standard doji - metioned here, as well as the Gravestone and the Dragonfly Doji, both of which have their individual characteristics. http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Doji The doji is often represented as a sign of a turning market. While it is common to see a doji at a market top or bottom, it is not wise to use it alone as a turning signal. Indecision means exactly that, the market is unsure of its future direction - therefore it should only be used as a warning, not a stand-alone signal. If the doji appears at previous support or resistance it is more likely to signal a potential reversal, however it occasionally appears out of the blue, and this should signal caution to the trader - but positions should not be liquidated without further confirmation. A common way to use this signal in an uptrend would be to use a close under the low of the doji to signal a top, and a close above the high of the doji to signal continuation, with the reverse for a downtrend. http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Doji 1 http://optionstradingbeginner.blogspot.com/2008/04/tweezer-bottom-vs-tweezer-top.html 2 http://optionstradingbeginner.blogspot.com/2008/04/tweezer-bottom-vs-tweezer-top.html More Miners Hedge, Expect Gold's Rise to End COMMODITIES AUGUST 3, 2011, 10:58 A.M.
