Candlesticks are the language of a chart. Once you can read them, you can see who is winning the fight between buyers and sellers in real time. This course teaches that skill in ten short lessons, about five minutes each, in order, starting from a single candle and building up to the reversal patterns traders watch for.

Start at Lesson 1 and work down. No sign-up, no fluff. Each lesson links to a deeper guide on that pattern if you want the full breakdown.
