Best guide for understanding Candlestick for a complete beginner?

Duhh
Posts: 12 ✭
I have watched a couple of videos on it and read some articles, i know a few basic shapes like hammer, shooting stars, dijo and spinning top.
I have learnt a bit about some candles representing traders emotions such as fear or regret.
But i want to be able to identify it live on the trading charts. Is there a video that shows that ?
I want to trade base on technical analysis rather than relying on signals.

Great video series to help you understand how to read candlesticks, it can really assist you in understanding the overall "sentiment" of a candle and to identify momentum. It is a completely free YouTube series that will help grow your trading skills.

Candlesticks are just a part of everything else on the charts.
Try to see the big picture, candlesticks, price movement, patterns,
trends etc. It's only when everything comes together that you get the
best signals to trade on. Also, as someone who trades regularly, I don't
think you need to know all the patterns, the ones you mentioned are good enough
but learn how to understand wicks. Because that indicates if price is hitting resistance/support. -

Most books are meant for Forex trading and the ones I have come across
were old ones. Nothing I liked. I read mostly on babypips but we have great
articles here on the site. Look under "Guide". Takes time to master but the best
thing to do is to start with a very simple strategy and study the charts. Look in the
strategy room, I just posted a simple strategy + video! -
