The last 8 times

Counted by the Trading Class research engine on real past candles: entry at the signal candle's close, target 1.5 × ATR(14), stop 1 × ATR(14), 12 candles to decide, a candle that touches both counts as the stop. How we count. Past data, not a forecast and not advice.

What the dragonfly doji is

Sellers pushed price far down, buyers pushed it all the way back.

Throw a yo-yo down and it zooms all the way back up to your hand. A dragonfly doji is like that: price dropped far during the candle, then buyers pulled it all the way back up to where it opened. It looks like a letter T, or a dragonfly with its wings at the top.
