Doji and spinning top

Plain-language meaning

Doji and spinning-top candidates have a small real body relative to range; their threshold and preceding context must be stated.

Why it is useful

Doji and spinning top is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Where it appears in XMarketRadar

Look for Doji and spinning top in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.

How it is calculated or sourced

Compare |close−open| with high−low under a disclosed tolerance. Doji uses a very small body threshold, while a spinning-top rule permits a larger small body and requires meaningful wicks; a zero-range bar cannot be classified by these ratios.

Inputs, period and unit

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Worked example

Illustrative only: With open ₹100, close ₹100.10, high ₹104 and low ₹96, the body is ₹0.10 of an ₹8 range. It can satisfy a Doji tolerance without predicting the next candle.

What high and low mean

A higher or lower Doji and spinning top value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positive, negative and genuine zero

Positive and negative Doji and spinning top values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

When it is unavailable

Unavailable (—) means Doji and spinning top is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitations and common mistakes

Doji and spinning top may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.

Market-specific differences

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
