BACKGROUND BEHIND THE RAILWAY TRACKS CHART PATTERN

What is a railway tracks pattern? Well:

  • the railroad tracks pattern is made up of only two candlesticks
  • they must be of of almost the same lengths and they look like parallel  railway tracks.(See forex chart below with the 2 candlesticks highlighted in blue).
  • if the first candlestick is bullish, the 2nd candlestick will be bearish and vice versa.

This is a sudden change in market sentiment…Why do you think caused this to happen?

Here’s why…

What happen here was that those traders who enter SHORT forming the long bearish candle realized that they are in the wrong side of the market and they immediately exit their trades and then get into the opposite side of the market causing the formation of the long bullish candle.

If you are in an uptrend, the situation will be opposite to what you is happening above.
