• The upper shadow (also known as upper wick or tail is the distance between the high price and the close or open price, whichever is higher) should be very tall, over than 75 percent of the Daily ATR(264) is better.
  
• The lower shadow (also called bottom wick or tail is the distance between the low price and the close or open price, whichever is lower) is nonexistent or very short. It should be less than 25 percent of the Daily ATR(264).
