>>Is there a website where I can find the candle definitions you use?<< equis.com This Iraq thing better be a false alarm. And if I have to go back again, we better finish it this time. I want Saddam's head on a stick and to be able to ice skate on the glass that used to be Baghdad. We should never have to fight the same war twice. Sorry, I just don't like Sand Spiders, dusty sand and ridiculous heat. Good Luck, Lee

PMG, An INVERTED HAMMER does not have to be BLACK. Its just a small body with a UPPER SHADOW of 2-3 times the length of the body and no LOWER SHADOW. I highly recommend CANDLESTICS for short-term analysis. Of course it doesnt work all the time. To really understand CANDLESTICs one needs to understand the psychology behind them. For example, there is a runup of several days then a DOJI appears. A DOJI is where there is no body, so the close and open were about the same, with upper and lower shadows. A DOJI implies indecision since there was no firm direction, and when indecision arrives after several days of a runup that is a hint that a short-term top is near. So its important to not just know the definitions of a certain candlestic/pattern but to go deeper into the psychology of candlestic. I also do not always use the textbook definition. Personally, I love candlestics since they are so poetic in terms of their names and the way they can help explain the short-term psychology of the market. It was interesting when my mother one day looked over my shoulder and said that my grandfather, who I never met, used them extensively when he was trading rice and spices in southern CHINA during the late 1800's/early 1900's.
