The most noteworthy thing you will see in a doji is the volume line. It shows lots of trading going on at a given time. You might notice that the line will go up and down over the bar. This shows that the value of the stock kept changing throughout the day, but in the end, nothing really happened as it stayed the same. Of course, you should be familiar with the volume line by now. During a typical trading day, you will notice that the volume line will always move. It is rare that the volume line will not exist on one end of the bar. That is, the closing price is usually higher or lower than whatever the volume bar suggests, but this is something very different from what you might find on a doji. The volume line is the ultimate sign that there is a dispute between buyers and sellers. In fact, you can look at various types of doji to see what is available in a trade and how that trade might evolve over time.
