Learn Fast and Easy Reading of DOJI Patterns
When Candlestick Charts were first introduced to the western markets, everyone using Stock Charts and Technical Analysis relied on indicators more than Bar Charts, which were the most popular charts back then. Bar Charts are much harder to read, give less visual data, and take longer to interpret. Candlestick Charts were instantly popular because they made reading price fast and simple.In the beginning Candlesticks were assumed to be the confirming indicator, which made pure price subordinate to indicators such as MACD and Stochastic both very popular indicators.

Everyone who uses Candlesticks knows what a Doji Candlestick is, however where it forms can reveal a great deal. As an example using the Doji for decoding Candlestick Patterns, the Doji can be a resting day candle and the stock will continue moving down, OR the Doji can be an exhaustion pattern in which the stock will reverse, OR the Doji can expose giant Buy Side Institutions using Dark Pools and their orders are controlling price in a Buy Zone.
Dark Pool Quiet Accumulation is easy to recognize in a candlestick formation, once it is understood how giant Buy Side Institutions using Dark Pools buy and sell in the stock market. The patterns become obvious and are instantly easily recognized.
In the chart example below the tight formation of the Doji candlestick pattern first being white, then black, and then white again is a Dark Pool Quiet Accumulation Candlestick Pattern.
Since this is also a Doji Candlestick Pattern compression consolidation, it is also indicating a likely Breakout pattern. The stock may either run with High Frequency Traders triggers or gap. Entering early in this tight consolidation of Doji, ensures that the trade is executed before a potential run or gap.

The more compression there is then the more velocity behind the Breakout, with the pattern definitely favoring an Upside Breakout. The way the Doji have formed in the Candlestick Chart tell the Technical Trader, that this is an Upside Breakout about to occur soon.
Summary
The chart example also gives other information regarding decoding Doji Candlestick Patterns. The stock has bottomed decisively and recently. It has no strong resistance above price. The tight consolidation of the Doji Candlestick Pattern was preceded by speculative trading triggered first by Professional Traders, then High Frequency Traders, and then Smaller Funds.
The stock went sideways as Professionals took profits while Smaller Funds bought. Now it is in a very tight formation. The control of price requires a very specific type of order only used by giant Buy Side Institutions which create Dark Pools.
