candlestick is much bigger than the body and the upper wick.

2. Pivot Levels
Floor traders love pivot points. They act as magnet for price
movements. If you observe how price move during any trading
session, you’ll notice that price often stalls or stops at pivot points
before resuming its movement.
To calculate daily pivot points you need High, Low, and Close Price of
the previous day.
To calculate weekly pivot points, apply the same formula, but using
High, Low, and Close Price of the previous week instead of the
previous day.
In this manual, I’ll present the entry signals for swing trading off 4hour
timeframe. We use the same techniques to generate entry signals on
15-minute timeframe but using daily pivots instead of weekly pivots.
Exit Signals:

a. When price moves in our favor the same distance as our stop
loss we take one lot out. For example, if our stop loss is 50 pips
away from entry price, when we have 50 pips in profit we exit
one lot.
b. For the remaining two lots, we trail our stop loss a few pips (510
pips) below EMA20. We let our profits run and let the market
decide when our positions are closed.
For sell (short) entry and exit signals, the rules are obviously the
opposite of the rules for buy (long) signals.
Here is an example of a long trade with clear entry and exit signals:
In this example, price was above EMA20 (green color) which was in
turn above EMA50 (yellow color). The first requirement was fulfilled.
Next, price moved beyond the pivot level and then retraced back
and tested that level. Finally, a hammer formed. When this hammer
candlestick closed, we entered at market price.
