The single-candle reversal signals, where to enter them and when they fail.
What is a bottoming tail? A big candle that sells off hard but closes near its high. Sellers pushed down, then buyers took back control. Read the guide
What makes a valid bottoming tail? It forms near a major low, it's one of the largest candles of the last 30, the wick is at least half the candle, and it closes in the top quarter. Read the guide
Does the candle's color matter? Less than the wick. For a bottoming tail a green close is stronger; a red close is still valid but needs more confirmation. Read the guide
Where is the better entry on a tail? Around a 50% retrace of the tail candle. Low $10, high $20: wait for about $15. Read the guide
When has a bottoming tail failed? When any later candle closes below the tail's low. Exit quickly; the pattern is no longer valid. Read the guide
What is a topping tail? The bearish mirror: a candle that rallies hard but closes near its low, at resistance or a high. It fails if a later candle closes above the tail's high. Read the guide
Why stack several signals together? Each one adds odds. A tail at support with a volume spike and RSI divergence is far stronger than a tail alone. Nothing is ever guaranteed. Read the guide
