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: “Windows Falling”.
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).
Windows Falling Pattern
– It occurs during a Downtrend; 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 Down between the Low of the First Candle and the High of the Second Candle (So the Low of the First Candle is above the High of the Second Candle).
Windows Falling Pattern (Second Type)
– It occurs during a Downtrend; confirmation is required by the candles that follow the Pattern.
– The First Candle is long and black.
– Then there is a Gap Down; the next Candles have short Real Body, that “test” the Gap Down as if it was a Resistance.
– The Last Candle is long and black, that starts a new Decline in Prices.
