Upside-and-Downside-Gap-Three-Methods

If you have been using candle stick pattern trading, then you have probably hear of the gap three method, which can work to the upside or downside. The gap three method to the upside happens when there is a strong uptrend. The gap happens to the first candle to the second, and then the third candle fills the gap. A reason that this occurs could be that people are simply taking profits from the gap up, but it may alter the long term up trend.

Similar to the upside, you can take this to the down side, which the gap fill would indicate short sellers are taking their profits on the gap, but may not alter the overall trend. Candle patterns are regularly used in day trading and long term investing, but they do not always generate reliable indications.

Taking a look at these candle patterns, it can certainly give you a short term idea of where the market is going. It would be a good idea to use momentum indicators as these can help to add more value to what the chart is telling you. If the gap happens when the indicator is in an over bought or over sold position, it could potentially signal a reverse, even though this particular pattern does not signal an overall trend change. Be sure to take this and apply it to a demo account first, and if you have any questions, reach out to the investing community and they can help to clarify any issues.
