Candlesticks, Patterns & Practice
Patterns can hint at reversals or continuations — use them with structure, trend, and context. Practice here until it feels second nature.
OHLC: Open · High · Low · Close
Every candlestick compresses a time period (e.g., 1m, 1H, 4H). Read it like this:
- Open — where the period started.
- High / Low — the extremes reached.
- Close — where the period ended (defines bull vs bear).
- Body — distance between open and close (strength of move).
- Wicks (shadows) — rejection tails beyond the body.
A candle shows the session’s Open, High, Low, Close. The rectangle is the body; thin lines are the wicks (shadows).
