31. How to Trade the Hammer Hanging Man Candlesticks
www.informedtrades.com A lesson on how to trade the Hammer and Hanging Man Candlestick Chart Patterns for active traders and investors in the forex, futures, and stock markets. Like the Spinning Top and Doji which we have studied in previous lessons, the Hammer candlestick pattern is made up of one candle. The candle looks like a hammer as it has a long lower wick and a short body at the top of the candlestick with little or no upper wick. In order for a candle to be a valid hammer most traders say the lower wick must be two times greater than the size of the body potion of the candle, and the body of the candle must be at the upper end of the trading range. When you see the Hammer form in a downtrend this is a sign of a potential reversal in the market as the long lower wick represents a period of trading where the sellers were initially in control but the buyers were able to reverse that control and drive prices back up to close near the high for the day, thus the short body at the top of the candle. After seeing this pattern form in the market most traders will wait for the next period to open higher than the close of the previous period to confirm that the buyers are actually in control. Two additional things that traders will look for to place more significance on the pattern are a long lower wick and an increase in volume for the time period that formed the hammer.

Awesome videos Dave, been a great help to me as a newbie. Just wondering if it matters what colour the real body is for hammer or hanging man? If it doesn’t matter would I be right in thinking that if the real body was dark with regard to the hanging man and clear for the hammer it would add better confirmation, ie, more bearish or bullish respectively?

mikziv should not get into trading of any kind
it is ok to have small shadow in both hammer and hanging man. Focus on the wick length twice or more(for greater trend reversal) compared to the body
He contradicts himself in this video. The hanging man for the uptrend reversal to the downside is a positive candlestick. (@ 4:33)
Great Education, and display example. Keep them coming. Thanks
Candlestick patterns are highly used in intraday trading.
It takes micro skill to read the patterns consistently due to the volatility of the forex market. If you want to know which candlestick timeframe you need to trade you must first define your trading style. Trading on the tick or 1 to 5 min mark to capture 5 to 10 pips = Short term trader or SCALPER. Trading for 20 to 80 pips = Medium term trader.
Trading for 80 or more pips = Long term trader.
Choose style then the pattern that fits.
But it looks like Hanging Man…. Hammer does not have small head/high shadow
how is it possible that the next candle opens highr or lower then the last candle? they are spose to be consistent!
You know, if you are going to have the stones, or the nerve, (or whatever term you want to use) to be putting training videos on the INternet , then maybe you should try getting you act together and present correct and proper materials. Your visual presentation cinflicts with what you are saying. Get your head out of your ass… forex trading is confusing enough without some jackass like you to make it even more confusing. you asshole.
