How To Trade Evening Star Pattern

There are 2 ways to trade it.

1. Classical way - trading on formed pattern.

We should wait when the 3rd candle is closed, and we open sell trade on the openning of the 4th candle.
It is simple usual way which is the similar to trade on close bar with signal systems, means: open the trade after pattern will be formed.
Example:


2. Trading on forming pattern.

It means the following: Evening Star pattern was not formed, but we are openning of the trade on the 3rd candle (because we do not want to wait untill this pattern will be completely formed. It is the similar to trade on open bar with signal systems, means: open the trade when pattern was not formed.


This is the explanation of the second way of trading (from this text with the video):

The close of the third candle needs to be at least half way down the body of the first candle and as with the Morning Star most traders will not wait for confirmation from the 4th period's candle to consider the pattern valid. Traders will look for increased volume on the third period's candle for confirmation, the larger the black and white candles are and the further the black candle moves down the body of the white candle the more powerful the reversal is expected to be.

Try to set false value for the Gap parameter:

 


set Gap from true to false? It will be much more signals but with many false signals as well.

Gap = true:


Gap = false:

As to the practical way of trading so they (in the video above) are suggesting to use Volume for confirmation. There are some other article when the traders are using RSI or Demarker for confirmation and to filter false signals.

This is the example with Demarker:
