a "dragonfly" doji depicts a day on which prices opened at a high, sold off, and then returned to the opening price. In my experience, dragonflies are fairly infrequent. When they do occur, however, they often resolve bullishly (provided the stock is not already overbought as shown by Bollinger bands and indicators such as stochastics). Here's an example of a dragonfly doji: When assessing a doji, always take careful notice of where the doji occurs. If the security you're examining is still in the early stages of an uptrend or downtrend, then it is unlikely that the doji will mark a top. If you notice a short-term bullish moving average crossover, such as the four-day moving average heading above the nine-day, then it is likely that the doji marks a pause, and not a peak. Similarly, if the doji occurs in the middle of a Bollinger band, then it is likely to signify a pause rather than a reversal of the trend. As significant as the doji is, one should not take action on the doji alone. Always wait for the next candlestick to take trading action. That does not necessarily mean, however, that you need to wait the entire next day. A large gap down, after a doji that climaxed a sustained uptrend, should normally provide a safe shorting opportunity. The best entry time for a short trade would be early in the day after the doji.
