Doji Candlestick Trading Strategy Backtest

A Doji is useless on its own. Without confirmation from volume or subsequent candles, it’s just "chart candy" that leads to false signals.

Shorting a Doji is a trap. Backtests show that short strategies using Dojis often result in flat or negative gains, even when the setup looks perfect.

The "Reversal" label is a lie. A Doji is more accurately the "end of a trend" or a pause, and it frequently leads to a continuation rather than a flip.

Intraday Dojis are mostly noise. The only time frame that provides a "systematic edge" for these patterns is the daily bar.

Exotic names don't mean higher profits. Whether you call it a "Dragonfly" or a "Paper Umbrella," the math doesn't care about the name; it only cares about the context of the trend.
