How it works

Three steps: from one candle to the whole chart

No indicator soup, no calls to buy. Decode a single candle first, then learn patterns, read volume, and finally learn to sidestep the traps.

STEP 01
Decode a candle

Open, close, high, low and the wick of one candle — get one candle right before you stare at a wall of red and green.

STEP 02
Spot patterns

Hammers, engulfing candles, dojis, volume — how to recognise the common signals, and how not to over-read them.

STEP 03
Dodge traps

Chasing green, wick hunts, fake breakouts, fake-out volume — the chart traps beginners misread, taken apart one by one.
