CandleStick Pattern

Today i want to share 2 candlestick formation which i rely most

1) Abandon Baby Formation
2) Kicker 

Definition:
1) Abandon Baby Formation: It is a 3 candlestick pattern & need confirmation in 4 th candle. It is basically a reversal pattern. First candle is long black/white candle ,second one is gap up/down candle which can be hammer ,doji ,small body , long legged candle & third one is again gap up/down candle with body more than 2nd one.Most important aspect of this formation is gap b/w this 3 candles. thats why the name abandon baby.

Volume Aspect: 1st Candle:- Usually normal to high
                           2nd Candle:- Mostly high in rare case low volume but both are positive
                           3rd Candle :-High to medium high as compared to last 10 candles in normal case. 

2) Kicker : It is a 2 candle pattern & need confirmation in 3rd candle. It is basically a very strong reversal pattern. First candle can be any pattern but need to at least small body in uptrend or downtrend & second one can be any pattern . But whats important is opening & closing of both candles. Here i am explaining the bearish kicker . The first candle is usually a long black candle after some long down trend n closed near to low of candle with small to medium volume as compared to previous candles & second candle opens above the opening of previous candle n closes even higher than previous candle.

Volume Aspect: 1st Candle:- Usually medium as compared to last candles
                           2nd Candle:- Mostly higher n should be higher as compared to last 5 candles for    proper reversal.

I am putting some example from various market in different scenario.
Please enlarge pics if not witnessed clearly.

 Above is the daily chart of Nifty Classic example of kicker formation with rsi divergence . Just see rally afterwards

Above is the chart of Soybean , First circle shows abandon baby formation & last circle shows bearish kicker formation. Now if u add other study with this pattern u will get stronger move like in this example there is bullish divergence in rsi. it might be a good trade setup.

    
Conclusion:
                     In all above chart one can easily witness the afterward move. Both formation when use with other trading system like divergence , trend line breakout , or moving averages can give us an early sign of reversal & it can be used for some handsome profit as risk from that level is negligible.
                 In both formation volume is the most important aspect & usually strong hand enters here as emotions n sentiments both are at their extreme. One should not avoid this signal of reversal as early sign of trend change & must review his study or strategy at once.
