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 doji is

Open and close are almost equal. Buyers and sellers are in a tie.

Picture a tug of war where both teams pull hard, but when the whistle blows the flag is right back in the middle. A doji candle is that tie: price moved up and down, but it closed almost exactly where it opened. Nobody won this round.
