What is the confirmation candle?
It is a candle that appears after a signal or technical pattern (like breaking a level, or a reversal pattern) to confirm the validity of this signal.
- It helps traders make trading decisions with greater confidence.
- Example: If the price breaks a resistance level, a strong confirmation candle appears to prove that the breakout is real and not false.
How is the attached image interpreted?
The table shows different grades of the strength of the confirmation candle:
- 3/3 (Very Strong):
- A long body candle (covers a large space between open and close).
- Accompanied by high trading volume.
- Example: A strong green candle after breaking resistance.
- 2/3 (Average):
- A medium-sized candle, may need more confirmations.
- 1/3 (Weak):
- A small body candle, does not provide enough confidence.
The classifications mentioned in the image:**
1. Good:
- A strong confirmation candle (3/3), suitable for entering a trade.
2. Average:
- A candle that needs support from other indicators (like moving averages).
3. Weak:
- An inconclusive candle, it's preferable to wait before trading.
4. Branch (may be a typo for 'intense'):
- It may indicate an exceptional candle in strength or size.
Practical example:
- Scenario: The price breaks the $100 resistance level.
- Required confirmation: Appearance of a long green candle (3/3) with an increase in trading volume.
- Decision: Enter a buy trade, because the candle confirmed the strength of the breakout.
Tips for beginners:
1. Don't rely on a single candle! Look for additional confirmations (like indicator crossovers, or trading volume).
2. Avoid trading when a weak candle appears (1/3).
3. Remember: The confirmation candle reduces the likelihood of falling into a false breakout trap.
Summary:
The confirmation candle is 'the friend that gives you confidence' before making a trading decision.
