Price action is not about candlesticks it’s about understanding market psychology thorough reading price action. Candlesticks are a mere representation of price action and not an overall system themselves.
Trading Candlestick Pattern is similar to Blindfolding
Candlestick patterns are not an absolute trading method neither using them gives an edge in the Market. How many Times have you failed trying to buy and sell at conventional candlesticks? Have you ever back tested the Candlestick Patterns? What is the probability ratio?
If you tried answering these questions you will find out that, Candlesticks are worse than Moving averages when compared with static evidence
Candlestick patterns have their fancy names and occur randomly at anyplace in your chart. Such an adverse random technique doesn’t give an edge. Some people trade it along with extra technical tools such as RSI so and so, if it is profitable then fine, but if not then time to reconsider some concepts
My Experience has it simple “Conventional Candlestick Patterns and rules don’t work “
