For a better understanding of this article, you should already know what Japanese Candlesticks are and all their features; for this reason, we suggest you to read this introductory article to Japanese Candlesticks: Japanese Candlestick Chart ( So that you can understand also the Ratings given to the Candlestick Patterns for the “quality” of the signal and for their frequency to “appear” on Charts).
Let’s analyse now the following Candlestick Pattern: “Rising Window Pattern”.
Window Pattern
– Normally it should be a signal of continuation of the current Trend.
– You can find it in the variants: Rising and Falling, depending on the Trend in which is located (There are two types of Rising and Falling).
Rising Window Pattern
– It occurs during an Uptrend; confirmation is required by the candles that follow the Pattern.
– The Color of the Candles doesn’t matter (They can be white or black).
– There is a Gap Up between the High of the First Candle and the Low of the Second Candle (So the High of the First Candle is below the Low of the Second Candle).
Rising Window Pattern (Second Type)
– It occurs during an Uptrend; confirmation is required by the candles that follow the Pattern.
– The First Candle is long and white.
– Then there is a Gap Up; the next Candles have short Real Body, that “test” the Gap Up as if it was a Support.
– The Last Candle is long and white, that starts a new Rise in Prices.
