Asking for some help here.
I am trying to teach myself all about candles, but I am being overwhelmed with all the different patterns.
I am trying to build myself a Corel Draw File with all the pic, texts etc, but there is simply too many patterns.
Surely you guys cannot possibly use them all? There must be some basic bullish/bearish setups that can be fairly safely used.
I spent all last week/weekend studying indicators and have pretty well got what I need, but candles are just doing my head in.
What with Barcharts.com, Investopedia, commodity.com, Jackos Chart Thread, youtube, and Google, it's all too much.
Any ideas anyone?
I do realize that one never stops learning, but if I can get just a few basic setups to try from you guys, I will do a lot better than blindly trading like I have been for so long.
I hope I am not asking for trade secrets guys.
Cheers in anticipation.
