Chart glossary

71 terms used across GMR chart explanations. Each one links to the lesson that actually teaches it, so a definition is a starting point rather than the whole answer.

Where the close sits within the candle's range; describes who held control into the close. Candlestick anatomy and patterns
Doji
A candle whose open and close are nearly equal — indecision. Candlestick anatomy and patterns

Small body near the top with a long lower wick; downside rejected within the interval. Candlestick anatomy and patterns

Small body near the bottom with a long upper wick, after an advance. Candlestick anatomy and patterns
Engulfing
A candle whose body fully covers the previous candle's body. Candlestick anatomy and patterns

Higher high (HH)

Flagpole
The sharp prior move a flag or pennant must follow. Classic chart patterns

Flat resistance with rising lows; bullish bias, incomplete until the break. Classic chart patterns
Descending triangle
Flat support with falling highs; bearish bias, incomplete until the break. Classic chart patterns

Three peaks, middle highest; completed by a neckline break. Classic chart patterns
Inverse head and shoulders
The same structure at a potential bottom. Classic chart patterns
Cup and handle
A rounded recovery followed by a smaller consolidation. Classic chart patterns
Broadening formation
Expanding swings — rising disagreement and volatility. Classic chart patterns
Gap
A discontinuity between one interval's close and the next one's open. Classic chart patterns
SMA
Simple moving average — equal weight across the window. Moving averages, slope and stack
EMA
Exponential moving average — recent bars weighted more heavily. Moving averages, slope and stack
Golden cross
A shorter average crossing above a longer one, commonly 50 over 200. Moving averages, slope and stack
Death cross
The inverse of a golden cross. Moving averages, slope and stack
Volume거래량
How much traded in an interval; measures participation, not direction. Volume and participation
OBV
