Simpler Trading GRaB Candles

29 août 2017

The GRaB candels are painted candles based on the relationship between the close of a candle and these averages.

- A candle paints green when it closes above the 34-bar EMA of the high.
- A candle paints red when it closes below the 34-bar EMA of the low.
- A candle paints blue when it closes between the 34-bar EMA of the high and 34-bar EMA of the low.
-
GRaB candles are a visual aid in identifying not only the trend but also the sentiment and momentum in the market on any time frame. The colors of the GRaB candles still reflect traditional Japanese candlesticks with lighter and darker shades of green, red and blue. The lighter shades are akin to hollow or "up close" Japanese candles while the darker shades are akin to shaded or "down close" candles.

- Green candles indicate bullish sentiment and momentum
- Red candles indicate bearish sentiment and momentum
- Blue candles indicate neutral sentiment and momentum

Since a trend is organized sentiment and momentum, it is also important that green candles dominate a market that is moving upwards with higher highs and higher lows. Red candles should then dominate a downtrend (lower lows and lower highs). Blue GRaB candles dominate a market in consolidation and quick shifts between green, red and blue are a sign of volatility and congestion.
