Floyd... For a candlestick entry confirmation, you might try using a close that is equal to or higher/lower than the middle of the body of the previous candle. If the previous candle is a doji or small body, then the close of the confirmation candle should be higher/lower than the high/low...

Hi Mark... Thanks for the explanation concerning my two questions. I am very impressed with this thread and have gained valuable knowledge about Hammer setups. Keep this thread going. You have mentioned that all the rules have not been revealed. I am anxiously awaiting the remaining...

HI Mark, In the following YM 5 min. chart...I have two questions. 1. Concerning the Dark Hammer line, C1 does not engulf C3 which would make the Dark Hammer invalid. However, C3 is a WRB and according to the following rule: * White WRB body > than bodies of prior 3 lines unless one...

I am ready to install a second dual connection video card. (Nvidia GeForce MX400 128mb PCI) I am doing this to be able to hook up a third monitor...and possibly # 4 down the road. Do I need to upgrade my 250 watt power supply ? and if so...how much? T.M.

Hi Mark... Thank you for the explanation on the invalid DIH. Referring to reversing the trade using the sister instrument DIA... Would you have entered as soon as the Dark WRB closed or waited for a better entry which did occur? Also.. This is probably a silly question, but I am...

Sorry ...newbie here. I'm having trouble attaching the chart.

Hi Mark... First , allow me to compliment you for unselfishly sharing your time & knowledge. I thought I knew a little about candlesticks, but after reading most of this thread I realize that I know little. On the chart I posted there is a DIH at the yellow arrow. I believe it meets all...
