Technical analysis

Technical summary
Automatic summaries from oscillators and moving averages. A summary is not a signal.
Oscillators and moving averages
Candlestick patterns, explained simply
Twelve shapes worth knowing. A pattern means more at a key level and when the next candle confirms it.
How the scores work
- Moving averages: a close above the MA is Buy, below is Sell. There are 12 lines (SMA and EMA 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200).
- Indicators: RSI above 55 is Buy, below 45 is Sell, above 70 is Overbought, below 30 is Oversold. MACD above its signal line is Buy. ADX below 20 is Neutral. Overbought and oversold count as Neutral in the score.
- Score = (Buys − Sells) ÷ total. 0.5 or more is Strong buy, from 0.1 is Buy, between −0.1 and 0.1 is Neutral, −0.5 or less is Strong sell. The summary averages both groups.
- Pivot points and candlestick patterns use closed candles only. Indicators include the running candle, so they can change during the day.
- This is a mechanical calculation, not advice. Always use a stop loss and own your trades.

Japanese candlesticks: bodies, wicks and context
Candles show who won each session: candle anatomy, the key signal patterns and why context matters more than shape.
Anatomy of a candle
Each candle has an open, close, high and low. The body shows the open–close difference; the wicks show how far price went before being pushed back. A long body means one side dominated; a long wick means the other side fought back.
Key signal patterns
| Doji | Open and close almost equal: indecision, worth noting after a long move. |
|---|---|
| Hammer / pin bar | A lower wick 2–3 times the body at the end of a decline: sellers were rejected. |
| Shooting star | A long upper wick at the end of a rally: buyers were rejected. |
| Engulfing | The second body covers the first, opposite colour: a strong change of control. |
| Morning / evening star | A three-candle reversal at a low / high. |
| Three soldiers / three crows | Three long candles of the same colour in a row: a strong new trend. |
Context decides everything
- A hammer in the middle of a range means little; the same hammer at daily support after a long decline is worth attention.
- Always wait for the candle to close before judging it.
- Higher-timeframe candles (H4, D1) carry more weight than lower-timeframe ones.
TipGorila's Technicals page illustrates 12 candle patterns with their bullish or bearish bias.

Gorila Zones for TradingView and MetaTrader 5
Supply and demand zones, market structure and filtered zone-rejection ideas on one clean chart. A chart-reading aid for your own plan, not a signal service.
Educational analysis only, not a signal or a recommendation to buy or sell. Markets can move against any scenario, and past moves do not predict future results.
Zones from confirmed swings
Each confirmed swing high or low becomes a supply or demand zone, sized by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
Structure at a glance
BOS and CHoCH labels show when price breaks the last confirmed swing high or low.
Filtered ideas
An idea is marked only when a closed candle rejects an unused zone and the trend filter and RSI band agree. Each zone is used once.
No repainting
Ideas and alerts appear on bar close and never move afterwards. Alerts can send a JSON webhook to your own journal.
How it draws
The videos use synthetic data for illustration. They are not real trades or results.
What it is not
It is not a signal service and it does not promise profit. In our own test on real EURUSD hourly data, the marked ideas did no better than random entries with the same stop and target. Zones fail, often around news and in strong trends.
MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor
The same logic as the indicator. It ships in signal-only mode: it draws zones and sends alerts, and it places no orders until you turn trading on yourself.
With trading on: fixed percentage risk per trade, a stop-loss and take-profit on every order, a daily loss limit, a cap on trades per day, and spread and news filters. No martingale and no grid. Licensed to your MT5 account number; we never ask for your login. Test it on a demo account for 4 to 8 weeks first.
Pricing
Prices in USD; taxes may apply. Cancel any time; access runs to the end of the paid period. 7-day refund on your first purchase. Each extra MT5 account: 49 USD per year.
How access works
- Send us your TradingView username (indicator) or MT5 account number (EA) and your country of residence.
- Within 24 hours we add your username to the invite-only script. EA buyers receive the file and a licence key by email.
- A setup guide and an alert and webhook guide are included.
Our own test, in full
On 5,000 hourly EURUSD bars, 29.7% of 300 random-entry runs with the same stop and target did as well as or better than the marked ideas. That is no evidence of an edge. Backtests have limits, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Introducing broker programme
Trading cost rebates
A rebate returns part of the spread or commission you pay on each closed lot. It lowers your costs; it does not turn a losing trade into a winning one.
How it works
- Open an account with a listed broker through Finance Gorila, or ask whether your existing account can be linked under the broker's rules.
- Trade as you normally would. Rebates count on closed lots, whether the trade won or lost.
- The rebate is calculated from your closed lots and paid on the broker's schedule.
Trade your plan, not the rebate
Do not trade more to earn rebates. Extra volume adds far more risk than any rebate can offset.
What a rebate (backcom) is
We are an introducing broker: the broker pays us a commission on each closed lot traded by clients we refer, and we share part of it back with you, per lot. It costs you nothing extra. It is not a profit promise: a losing trade stays a losing trade.
