FAQ

How reliable is the Evening Star according to Bulkowski's data?

It is very reliable with a 72% theoretical reversal rate and ranks 4th out of 103 patterns for overall performance.

Does the color of the middle 'star' candle matter?

The color is less important than the small size of the body, but a bearish (red/black) star is slightly more potent.

Is a gap between the second and third candle required?

While a gap between the first and second bodies is essential, a gap between the second and third is rare and not strictly required for the pattern.

What role does volume play in this pattern?

Higher volume on the third (bearish) candle compared to the first two candles significantly increases the probability of a reversal.

¿Dónde debería colocarse un stop-loss al operar este patrón?

A standard stop-loss is placed just above the highest point of the second candle (the star).
