Advantages and disadvantages of Japanese candlesticks
One candle may not be able to show the behavior and trend of prices in the future. This is because it can only represent the current price behavior. However, if we analyze a whole cluster of Japanese candles (including many candles in a specified time period), things will be different. Therefore, the advantages that we point out below are for a cluster of candlesticks. On the contrary, the disadvantages come only from an individual candle itself.
Pros
Japanese candlesticks have a clear difference in color between the two types of bullish and bearish candles. It has a shadow that is easy to observe. Investors can distinguish each specific trading session.
The Japanese candlestick shows the trend of the price in the future. This is because it shows whether the force of buying or selling is dominant at present. They are capable of providing signals to identify an upcoming trend in price. It may be a continuation of an old trend or a price reversal and the initiation of a new trend.

A technical indicator can help investors predict the direction of future prices. However, when analyzing that indicator on the Japanese candlestick chart, it will help investors to find a top or bottom position to get higher profits than the individual signals that technical indicators provide.
Cons
A Japanese candlestick shows only the prices of a specific session. It does not, by itself, show the direction of price. Therefore, when analyzing, investors can not only look at the current candle but have to look at the overall, past candles, to determine the correct trend of the price.
A Japanese candlestick cannot show its internal price movement. If you look at the D1 candlestick, you will only know whether the price goes up or down on that day and which side is dominant. However, you won’t know how prices have moved that day. It may go up continuously or fluctuate up and down abnormally but still remain in an uptrend.

This downside is also a note for you when analyzing the Japanese candlestick chart. That is, when analyzing the Japanese candlestick pattern, it is necessary to combine observations on many different time frames to see the price behavior more clearly and accurately.
Three Black Crows is the most accurate bearish candlestick pattern
Three Black Crows is the most accurate bearish pattern. They often appear in the bull zone and warn of the possibility that the price could drop again.

How to identify a Three Black Crows candlestick pattern
Three Black Crows is a visual pattern that is easy to identify with the naked eye. However, you should also note the following:
- Appear during an uptrend or in a pullback of a downtrend.
- 3 three candles in the pattern must all be bearish and have a long body, short shadow.
- The opening price of the next candle should be either above or equal to the closing price of the previous candle.
- This pattern shows a bullish to bearish reversal signal.
Notes: The original Three Black Crows candlestick pattern requires the opening price of the following candle to be above the closing price of the previous one (i.e. a gap). However, in high-liquidity markets, there is no need for a gap at the opening.
Meaning of the Three Black Crows candlestick pattern
When the market is in the high for too long, the Three Black Crows pattern appears showing signs of reversal. Or it could be a confirmation for the immediately preceding reversal patterns.
Three consecutive bearish candles with short shadows show that sellers have maintained a good and penetrating pressure.
After each strong bearish candle, the sellers panic and sell out more. Therefore, the price may decrease stronger and stronger for the following candlesticks.

This pattern also shows a big change in market sentiment. That could be the consolidation of a previous resistance zone. Or it could be a setup for a new resistance zone.
The reliability of this pattern is very high. However, we still need a later confirmation in the form of a bearish candle with a lower closing price or a bearish gap.

Just one question. What exactly do you mean by the term “when the Three Black Crows candlestick pattern was SUCCESSFULLY CONFIRMED” ?
Do you mean to say that the Candlestick after the Three Black Crows should be a red one, only then the Trade should be made ?
