What is Doji candlestick? How does it work in IQ Option

Doji (means “Unchanged” in Japanese) is a special candlestick pattern which has similar or the same opening and closing prices.

What is Doji candlestick?

When a Doji candlestick appears, both sellers and buyers do not take advantage of controlling the price. The appearance of Doji signifies the stagnation of the market.

Doji candlestick features

There are 4 types of Doji candlestick that you often come across: Neutral Doji, Long-Legged Doji, Dragonfly Doji, Gravestone Doji.

Doji candlestick features

Neutral Doji looks like a plus mark “+”. It shows that when the candlestick is formed. The price does not increase or decrease remarkably.

Long-Legged Doji is contrary to Neutral Doji. When Long-Legged Doji is formed, the price fluctuates significantly. However, the opening price is equal to the closing price.

Dragonfly Doji looks like the letter “T”. It has a long lower shadow. Opening price and closing price are equal to the highest price during the time the candlestick is formed.

Gravestone Doji is contrary to Dragonfly Doji. Opening price and closing price are equal to the lowest price during the time the candlestick is formed.

Trade signals in IQ Option with Doji candlestick pattern

4 different types of Doji candlestick pattern show 4 different trade signals. The ways we use them in combination with indicators are also different.

Neutral Doji

It is a candlestick pattern that has no effect when standing alone. However, when it is formed at support/resistance zone, you should pay close attention to it. The reason is that it is the moment when the market is on the horn of a dilemma. The price will reverse or break out of support/resistance zone.

For example, Signal Doji candlestick appears in the support zone. Focus on the appearance of the next candlestick after that. If the price rises (green candlestick) to confirm the price reversal when the price reaches the support zone. Open a HIGHER option after that.

On the other hand, if the market price falls steeply and breaks out of the support zone and one red candlestick is formed, you can open a LOWER option after that.

You should open an option which is 3 times longer than the candle time period. For example, if you observe the 5-minute Japanese candlestick chart, you should change the expiration time to 15 minutes.

Long Legged Doji

Unlike Neutral Doji, Long-legged Doji candlestick shows a “war” between buyers and sellers. The price fluctuates dramatically but closing price is the same as opening price. Long-legged Doji often appears at the bottom or the top of the market. This is a sign for you to open options in IQ Option.

For example, Long-legged Doji appears at the top of the trend. It is the signal of a high possibility that the market will reverse and go to a downward trend. Open a LOWER option right after that.
