(Candlestick) A Doji occurs when the open and close are the same value (or very close). The length of the shadow is not important and interpretation will depend on the position and length of the shadows. They can occur at market reversals since they indicate a balance of buyers and sellers. (Indecision of buyers in an up trend, of sellers in a downtrend). By themselves single bars do not necessarily provide any indications but will contribute to a group that represent a candlestick pattern.

A Japanese candlestick in which the open and close are the same (or almost the same). Different varieties of doji lines (such as a gravestone or long-legged doji) depend on where the opening and close are in relation to the entire range. Doji lines are important candlesticks in their own right and are also components of patterns containing one or more candlestick.
