You will learn more about the Shooting Star Pattern in detail, which you could use in your trading technique. So read the full blog to get a better understanding of the pattern and techniques. Let’s dive into the concept.

Introduction of Shooting Star Pattern

The Shooting Star Pattern is a trend reversal pattern. It is formed on the High Trend in the chart. So the prior trend should be an uptrend. If this pattern is formed in the high trend, it has the possibility that this pattern will work 70% in the market.

It has a small real body and a long upper shadow. The body of the Shooting Star should be 3 times shorter than the upper shadow or the upper shadow must be 3 times longer than the Shooting Star body. That is, if the body is 1 time the size means the upper shadow must be 3 times longer than the size of the body. For the bearish candle, the open price will be greater than the close price.

Note: If the candle of this pattern is in a bullish candle, in some cases it is not considered as a Shooting Star pattern. The reason for this will be explained in detail in the upcoming topic.

Structure of Shooting Star Pattern

Now let’s see how the Shooting Star Pattern structure should be formed. We have different scenarios in which Shooting Star can be formed.

The above image shows the different scenarios in which Shooting Star can be formed. We will see in detail about these patterns in the upcoming topics.

Why these 2 bullish shooting star is wrong

These 2 bullish candles are not Shooting Star because there is buying pressure even though the seller pushed the market down. So this bullish shooting star has less probability that it will work in the market.

Why this bearish shooting star is wrong

This bearish candle is not a Shooting Star pattern because the presence of the seller is low. It has the possibility that the buyer can push the market up fighting with the seller as the volume of the seller is low. As you can see, the upper shadow is only 2 times greater than the real body. The upper shadow should be more than the 3 times of the real body.

Why this bullish candle is a shooting star

This bullish candle is considered a Shooting Star pattern, because as it has a bullish presence it also has a long upper shadow indicating that the seller pushed the market downside. So the market has a high probability that it will further move to the downside.

Why these 2 bearish candle is a shooting star

Now these two bearish Shooting Star patterns are correct. The left side shooting star is the perfect shooting star. It forms bearish with a long upper shadow which is 3 times greater than the size of the body. It means the sellers had pushed the market downward and it will further move down due to the selling pressure.

The right side bearish candle is also a shooting star, but it is not recommended to trade with this shooting star. Because due to the very long upper shadow and the bearish body, the market already reached more selling pressure. So it has only below 50% possibility that this bearish shooting star will work in the market.

You can also check the candle formation in the inner timeframe to get strong confirmation as given in the below image.

If the OLHC structure is formed, it has a high probability that the pattern will work in the market. Because the formation has more selling pressure, so the market has more possibility to move downwards.

If the OHLC structure is formed, it has only 50% probability that the pattern will work in the market. Because the formation is indicating buying pressure at the close of the market.

Note: We have to analyze the Shooting Star pattern in the higher timeframe. So you can check this pattern structure in the inner timeframe analysis. Shooting Star pattern will be formed in all the time frames. It is necessary to check the pattern in a higher timeframe to analyze more and it gives more accuracy to trade.

Theory of Shooting Star Pattern

Now we will be analyzing how the market will perform in this pattern. And how to analyze and take trade with this pattern.

As you see in the above image the Shooting Star formed in the high trend. Before the pattern formed there was an uptrend. You can see that the market has full control over the buyer and reached the high price. Then the seller came in and pushed the price down, thus forms like a shooting star. This pattern should be formed in a higher timeframe. Then we can analyze this pattern in the inner timeframe to check for structure formation. If the structure are formed as we discussed above, we have a high possibility that this pattern will work in the market. So we can take a Sell Entry in the next running candle.

Confirmation of Shooting Star Pattern

If the next candle of the Shooting Star breaks the previous support trend line, we can get confirmation that the market is going to fall. So we can short the market to make a profit.

Entry for Shooting Star Pattern

Then as shown above you can take sell entry, as the market will move downside according to our analysis

Stop Loss for Shooting Star Pattern

The Stop Loss for Shooting Star Pattern will be the high price of the Shooting Star

You can also make a Trailing Stop Loss as the market goes below by drawing a resistance line as shown in the above image.

Steps to check before taking the entry with this pattern.

Step 1: Search for the Shooting Star pattern in the higher time frame.

Step 2: Check if the pattern is in a high trend and the prior trend should be an uptrend.

Step 3: Check the Shooting Star structure –> it should be bearish –> the lower shadow should be 2 times or 3 times greater than the size of the body with perfect structure formation.

Step 4: Check the structure formation in the inner timeframe of the pattern. If you get the perfect structure move on to the next step.

Step 5: Set entry and stop loss level and execute the trade.

Step 6: Check for confirmation that the previous support line is broken, we also got confirmation that it is on a high trend, and the structure formation of the Shooting Star is perfect so the market will surely move down and we can make a huge profit.

Advance Hanging man Pattern

In this blog, we are going to see about the Hanging Man Pattern, which is one of the Japanese candlestick charting techniques. We will deeply describe the Hanging Man Pattern formation, structure, theory, and techniques to analyze the pattern.

You will learn more about the Hanging Man Pattern in detail, which you could use in your trading technique. So read the full blog to get a better understanding of the pattern and techniques. Let’s dive into the concept.

Introduction of Hanging Man Pattern

The Hanging Man Pattern is a trend reversal pattern. It is formed on the High Trend in the chart. So the prior trend should be an uptrend. If this pattern is formed in the high trend, it has the possibility that this pattern will work 70% in the market.

Hanging Man has a small real body and a long lower shadow. The body of the hanging man should be 3 times shorter than the lower shadow or the lower shadow must be 3 times longer than the hanging man body. That is, if the body is 1 time the size means the lower shadow must be 3 times longer than the size of the body. For the bearish candle, the open price will be greater than the close price.

Note: If the candle of this pattern is in a bullish candle, it is not considered as a hanging man pattern. The reason for this will be explained in detail in the upcoming topic.

Structure of Hanging Man Pattern

Now we will see how the Hanging Man Pattern structure should be formed.

Structure 1 – OLHC

This structure tells about the presence of buyers and sellers in the pattern. On the open price, the sellers pushed the price down to the low price and then the buyers took control of the market and pushed to the high price, and again the seller came in pushed a little down and closed below the open price. This structure forms like a hanging man in the higher timeframe. So if this structure is formed inside the hanging man, the pattern has a strong possibility that it will work 80% and will give a sell signal as the market will move downside. We have to check this structure in the inner timeframe of the hanging man.

Structure 2 – OHLC

This structure forms like on the open price, the buyers pushed the price to the high price and then the sellers pushed to the low price, and again the buyers came in pushed a little up and closed below the open price. This structure forms like a hanging man in the higher timeframe. So this structure gives less possibility as that it will work in the market.

Note: We have to analyze the hanging man pattern in the higher timeframe. So you can check this pattern structure in the inner timeframe analysis. Hanging man pattern will be formed in all the time frames. It is necessary to check the pattern in a higher timeframe to analyze more and it gives more accuracy to trade.

Different scenarios in which Hanging Man can be formed.

Now we will be analyzing how the market will perform in this pattern. And how to analyze and take trade with this pattern.

The above image shows the different scenarios in which hanging man can be formed. We will see in detail about these patterns in the upcoming topics.

Why these 3 Bullish Hanging Man are Wrong

These 3 bullish candles are not hanging man because there is more buying pressure in these candles. These candles are bullish and the buyers pushed the price to the high price. So these hanging man patterns have very little possibility that it will work in the market.

Why this long lower shadow Bearish hanging man is wrong

This bearish candle is considered as hanging man pattern, but it is not recommended to trade in this candle. Because in this candle the lower shadow is too long almost 4 times the real body. So the buying presence is more. If we trade in this candle the possibility is only 50% that the trade will be win or loss based on the structure that we discussed earlier.

Why this 2 hanging man are Correct

Now these two bearish hanging man are perfectly formed. If these patterns are formed based on structure 1, then it has a high probability of getting the market reversed. Other than that if structure 2 is formed we can avoid that pattern as it gives less probability.

Theory of Hanging Man Pattern

Now we will be analyzing how the market will perform in this pattern. And how to analyze and take trade with this pattern.

As you see in the above image the hanging man formed in the high trend. Before the pattern formed there was an uptrend. You can see that the market has full control over the buyer and reached the high price. Then the seller came in pushed the price down, but the buyers fought and pushed the price up and close below the open like a bearish candle.

This pattern should be formed in a higher timeframe. Then we can analyze this pattern in the inner timeframe to check for structure 1. If this pattern is like the formation of structure 1, we have a high possibility that this pattern will work in the market. So we can take a Sell Entry in the next running candle.

Confirmation of Hanging Man Pattern

If the next candle of the hanging man breaks the previous support trend line, we can get confirmation that the market is going to fall. So we can short the market to make a profit.

Entry for Hanging Man Pattern

The Entry for the Hanging Man Pattern will be above the running candle (that is above the next candle open price of hanging man). If the previous candle’s upper shadow is longer than the hanging man, you can take an entry as shown below in 1.

Or If the previous candle’s upper shadow is shorter than the hanging man, you can take entry between the opening of the running candle and the previous candle high as in 2.

Then as shown above you can sell entry, as the market will move downside according to our analysis.

Stop Loss for Hanging Man Pattern

The Stop Loss for Hanging Man Pattern will be the high price of the hanging man (2) or previous candle of the hanging man (1).

You can also make a Trailing Stop Loss (1) as the market goes below by drawing a resistance line as shown in the above image.

Steps to check before taking the entry with hanging man pattern.

Step 1: Search for the Hanging man pattern in the higher time frame.

Step 2: Check if the pattern is in a high trend and the prior trend should be an uptrend.

Step 3: Check the Hanging man structure –> it should be bearish –> the lower shadow should be 2 times or 3 times greater than the size of the body with perfect structure formation.

Step 4: Check the structure formation in the inner timeframe of the pattern. If you get the perfect structure move on to the next step.

Step 5: Set entry and stop loss level and execute the trade.

Step 6: Check for confirmation that the previous support line is broken, we also got the confirmation that it is on a high trend, and the structure formation of the hanging man both are perfect so the market will surely move down and we can make a huge profit.
