The next pair of Japanese candlestick patterns are the bearish upside gap two crows and bearish two crows patterns, and while these patterns are somewhat similar in appearance, there is one element that differentiates them from each other.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Friday) is three witches and a large black pot day, so make sure that you know all of the spells that you are going to need, otherwise you may find yourself face to face with a three headed demon, when all you were trying to do was make a cup of coffee.

If you are now wondering why I am talking about three witches, you need to read the triple witching glossary entry, which will explain all of the details that you need to know, about the standard expiration day for many of the futures and options markets (commonly known as triple witching Friday).

If you already know what triple witching is, either make sure that you know exactly when your markets expire, or update your charting and trading software to use the next contract before trading starts tomorrow morning, otherwise you may suddenly find that you have an active position that you are unable to exit.
