Evening Doji Star

An evening star with a doji as the middle candle

An evening doji star is a variation of the evening star where the middle candle is a doji. The doji represents stronger indecision at the top, potentially making this pattern more powerful than a regular evening star.

How to Recognize

  • Same as evening star but middle is doji
  • Doji shows extreme indecision at top
  • Gap before and after doji ideal
  • Resistance level required

How to Avoid

  • Same rules as evening star apply
  • Doji must be at resistance
  • Third candle confirmation essential
  • More reliable than regular evening star
