Bulkowski on Four Line Candlesticks

The information on this page is derived from my book, Encyclopedia of Candlestick Charts, pictured on the right.

Once you click on a link, you will be taken to a page describing the candlestick. The glossary defines the terms used on the individual candlestick pages, but the black arrow on the figure shows which way price usually moves after the candlestick pattern ends.

Shown are small images of candlestick patterns, listed alphabetically, based on four candle lines.
