The longer the "legs" (also called wicks or tails) of a Doji are the more the indication that equilibrium has been reached. If a long legged Doji appears at the end of a trend then this suggests that the trend may be over and it is time for a reversal. The market is telling the trader that an area of indecision has been reached.
