hello traders welcome back thank you for聽 joining us again today and in this lesson聽聽
[14]
we're going to cover the maribozu candle stick聽聽
[18]
and how to use it as a strong price聽 action confirmation in your trade setups
[27]
so this is what we'll cover how to use the candles聽 what it is how to trade with it and we'll go over聽聽
[35]
a couple of examples so you can understand聽 what it is so let us just go through what聽聽
[45]
maribozu candle represents so first of all聽 marabo just means shaven head in japanese聽聽
[50]
and what that means is that there聽 is no wick on the candle so usually聽聽
[58]
candle would have a wick to the upside or聽 downside but in this case there is no wick聽聽
[65]
and what's happening inside this candle is that we聽 take for example this bullish candle which opened聽聽
[73]
here and closed here so before the scandal聽 we would have had perhaps another candle and聽聽
[83]
where the price closed here it then opened here聽 and just went straight up so if you look at the
[95]
price activity within this we just have buying聽 buying buying buying right to the top and the聽聽
[100]
price closes so this is a very strong indication聽 of buying it's a bullish confirmation and it shows聽聽
[108]
that there are many buyers and there is a lot聽 of buying momentum in the market and the same聽聽
[117]
goes the other way around here we would have if聽 we just ignore this for a moment we would have
[126]
perhaps a candle from price section moving聽 here and then again the price closed here聽聽
[133]
on the previous candle it then opens聽 at the same place and it goes straight聽聽
[137]
down and we have a lot of selling pressure聽 this is a clear indication that the market聽聽
[144]
really wants to continue on its聽 way and push towards the downside
[155]
now there is a slight variation on it you do聽 sometimes get on a bullish one you might have聽聽
[162]
a little wick like this on the bearish聽 one you might also have a little wick聽聽
[168]
below we might also have a little聽 wick above on one of the sides聽聽
[176]
and also be here small one but either way聽 don't get hung up over the wick and how long聽聽
[184]
it is just as long as it's a small wick and聽 this is clearly price clearly starts at one
[194]
place and moves straight into another so we have聽 the difference here is clearly very pronounced聽聽
[204]
and these candles indicate a particular direction聽 in the market now let's go over to the chart and聽聽
[213]
look at how these candles form on the chart聽 and how to actually trade them in your setups聽聽
[223]
right so here we have the pound yen chart聽 on the daily so each candle represents a day聽聽
[228]
and the first way to use the maribor's candle聽 is as a confirmation for your swing trade聽聽
[239]
so when you see the candle during a trend when聽 you are catching swings in the train in the trend聽聽
[249]
then you can look for the marabosa to confirm that聽 direction so again we have a trend that we talked聽聽
[259]
about before and what you will see that when you聽 are looking for confirmation in this area for聽聽
[266]
the next swing to start its downward move we can聽 look for the price section of the marabozu here
[277]
to confirm that we are now going down so let's聽 look at that here in an example we have clear聽聽
[283]
trend with the swings and now we have some聽 interesting price action here and what you聽聽
[291]
will see is you can see this marabou candle here聽 if we just zoom in you could see that there is聽聽
[300]
hardly any wick on either side and you and then聽 this will be a confirmation for us with the stop聽聽
[311]
loss and take profit below and we can see that聽 after that the market continues trending and you聽聽
[320]
can actually see again once again we have the next聽 swing point here if we just pay attention to this聽聽
[331]
we have another swing and yet again the market聽 moves off aggressively and here is our marabou聽聽
[339]
the candle as you can see very little wick聽 here almost practically no week at the top聽聽
[346]
and that is the candle here and here聽 is our trade the stop-loss and entry
[355]
at the same time we can have there's聽 another example here although the market聽聽
[360]
was ranging and we can see that often what聽 the market will do in terms of price action
[367]
let's just remove all these objects and we can聽 see what the market will often do is during its聽聽
[377]
movement its continuation we could see a lot of聽 weak candles and there's one mara buzzer here聽聽
[385]
but if you do not enter there we can see聽 that along the way we have more candles聽聽
[392]
warmer buzzer candles like this for example聽 confirming that the market is continuing聽聽
[401]
to the downside continuing on its trend the second聽 method to use the marabazu would be a reversal聽聽
[408]
so for example if you spotted a reversal聽 area that you want to take the trade off聽聽
[416]
in this case we have the market moving up and聽 we have this reversal zone here where the mark聽聽
[425]
is at market has been before and if you see聽 the price action the mariboza price section聽聽
[431]
at the level then you will want to consider a聽 trade once you have that confirmation of the聽聽
[438]
selling pressure in this case because we're聽 looking for a cell here we have at this聽聽
[443]
level what looks like a maribozu however聽 we can see that there is a little wick聽聽
[448]
up there and there's a wick below so it's not the聽 cleanest we may want to wait for a further swing
[458]
and enter
[462]
somewhere like this and that will give聽 us more confirmation so let's wait for聽聽
[469]
a little bit more and we can see here聽 clear mariboza candle and clearly
[476]
we can put our entry stop聽 loss and take profit points聽聽
[484]
and this is a very strong confirmation聽 as you can see no wick at the top at the聽聽
[490]
head and then we have a little wick at the聽 tail and that is clearly a marabous a candle
[497]
and the market moves off that聽 is the method for reversal聽聽
[504]
and finally for the last note just remember as聽 with all the other candlestick patterns and the聽聽
[511]
other types of setups you do not want to trade聽 the maribors on its own just for these reasons聽聽
[517]
you do want to have confluences and聽 you do want to have other factors in聽聽
[523]
your setup to strengthen it to improve to聽 increase the probability of it working out聽聽
[530]
so in this case if we just for a moment聽 go back here what we can see is we've had聽聽
[537]
on the lower time frame we've had聽 swings we've had the market trending聽聽
[545]
then you may want to look at your zones聽 you may want to look at your trend lines
[557]
and you may want to place fibonacci聽 and use all those combinations聽聽
[567]
to improve the probability and then once you've聽 got that confirmation we can see if we just聽聽
[572]
go back to the daily very strong confirmation聽 that the market is continuing to the downside
[582]
right so thank you for watching and聽 just look out for the marabosa candles聽聽
[587]
they're very strong in terms of price action and聽 clear and you can use them as entry confirmation聽聽
[594]
when you're thinking about entering聽 a trade when you've identified聽聽
[598]
a trade setup with all of your other factors and聽 rules and confluences so good luck in your trading
