The evening star is a bearish reversal pattern formed by three candles (ideally, this pattern should have a gap on either side as this would give even more strength to the reversal signal).
If the small body is a Doji, the star will be called a "doji star"
The first two candles are the same size, with the third possibly a little larger which strengthens the signal. The middle one is weak and marks indecision.
The morning star is the opposite of the evening star.
