Doji

A candle whose open and close practically coincide, leaving the body collapsed into a line.

How to read the number

It shows that the interval finished where it began, whatever the range travelled inside it.

When the metric lies

In an illiquid security a doji appears simply because there were no trades, and reflects no balance between the two sides at all.

Also known as: doji candle
