Candlestick Myths vs Market Structure | S1 E3

Candlesticks are more than shapes on a chart—they represent market liquidity and order flow. Yet, volume mechanics are widely misunderstood. Many retail traders rely on single candle patterns to forecast price direction, which often leads to emotional mistakes.

In this episode, I, "J.J. Edwards", guide you through candlesticks from a different perspective. We explore their history, anatomy, psychology, and how to interpret them logically rather than emotionally.


📊 What You’ll Learn:

- The origins of candlestick charts and why they became popular
- The anatomy of a candlestick: body, wicks, and timeframe
- Four key clues every candle reveals (open, close, body, wick)
- Why candlesticks form and what drives their shape
- How to interpret candles using When, Why, and Where
- The psychology behind candlesticks: fear, greed, and indecision
- How institutional footprints shape market behavior

💡 Each candlestick is a compressed story of buyers vs. sellers, emotions vs. liquidity. Learn to read them as reflections of market activity, not predictions.
