Don’t think candlestick charts are super complex. Sure, there are some things to learn, but once you understand them and practice using them, they can be useful in your trading.
First, each candle marks one trading day. And if the candle has a really small body, that tells you that the stock opened and closed at almost the exact same price. That's what we call a doji candle. And that also tells you that for that trading day, the stock basically did nothing.
When a red candle opens a few dollars higher than its previous close, that’s called a gap-up. That’s something to focus on for potential trades.
Now, say a stock opens at $9 and then closes at $8.25. The candle is red because the stock’s closing price is lower than its opening price. That's the beauty of candlestick charts ... With a glance you can see a stock’s daily price action and range.
So that’s a bit on the candle bodies, but there are also the candle wicks. Those are the small lines on the candle that can show you the stock’s high and low of that trading day. With a quick look, you can see if the stock gapped-up, ran, pulled back, dropped hard, or bounced.
Here’s another thing you can learn from candlestick charts: volume. On the volume candlesticks, you won’t see wicks. These are strictly a chart annotation, a bar chart in essence. They just show you the total volume. And that’s an important indicator for short-term traders.
It’s amazing the amount of information you get just from looking at a candlestick chart. You can see if the stock closed higher than it opened, the bottom and upper ranges, the volume, and more. Get to know these charts — they can be so useful in trading.
And if you’re still intimidated, watch this video until it’s more clear. Then check out the candlesticks on your favorite stocks and practice, practice, practice!

    Hi I'm very new in this trading and i haven't done any tradings yet as i started to learn this 1 month ago. My question is: do i only have to buy on the green candlestick and sell on the red? Or I can do buying and selling on the both candles? Thanks

    I’m learning. Watching all your videos. I will probably subscribe to your scanner program as well. My goal is to make enough money to quit my day job. Don’t know if that’s possible. But, would love to work from home! I love learning about all this. I’m in a few bad trades currently. Waiting for them to spike so I can get out and try another stock.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jackie Smith says:

    Thank you, Tim. Every night I prep my watchlist for my main Dip & Rips. I watch your morning live videos and add them to my watchlist if they aren't already there. After trading (or not trading, if the pattern doesn't develop, or if it doesn't go the way I'd hoped), I come back to YouTube and watch/rewatch a couple of hours of videos by you and by Sykes on the basics. I'm getting ready to start incorporating your Afternoon VWAP hold H.O.D. I've been trading for a little over 2 months, now. These videos are HUGE for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for them. It makes it possible for me to trade and learn on my off days (nurse) and during the time my girls are doing their homeschool lessons and when I'm not helping my hubs build our house. I can't thank you and Tim Sykes enough.
