DBA,
Here is what you posted awhile back in regards to red and black candles.
Note - Explanation on candlesticks:
Candlestick Colors- BLACK versus RED -
BLACK means it closed higher than previous candlestick's close.
RED means it closed lower than previous close.
Candlestick Fill - EMPTY versus FILLED Candle -
EMPTY candle means it closed higher than it opened (i.e. price started at bottom of candle and ended at top of candle).
SOLID candle means it closed lower than it opened (i.e. price started at top of candle and ended at bottom of candle).
Typically you get SOLID RED and EMPTY BLACK candles.
Less Common:
SOLID Black forms when price gaps up (at start of period) and then falls, but was still above close from prior period (e.g. prior day on daily chart). Note: So, Price closes at bottom of black solid candle body (not at top).
EMPTY Red forms when price gaps down (at start of period) and then goes up, but was still below prior period close (e.g. prior day on daily chart). Note: So, Price closes at top of red empty candle body (not at bottom).
