Summary
Most traders are looking at candlesticks the wrong way. Stop memorising shapes and start reading the story. In this episode, we reveal why ”perfect” patterns often fail and how to identify the real battle between buyers and sellers. We break down the only 4 candlestick patterns worth your attention and how to use market context to find a real edge. Episode Breakdown: The Narrative Shift – Reading the ”battle” in the wicks and bodies. Noise vs Signal – Why location matters more than the pattern itself. The Essentials – Rejection (Pin Bars), Control (Engulfing), Consolidation (Inside Bars), and Indecision (Dojis). The Truth – Why patterns are confirmation, not prediction. Next week, we go deep into the Prop Firm world with a special guest. Subscribe so you don’t miss the myth-busting!
