Although I’m a learner, still much more to learn like candlesticks and chart patterns, trade little and rarely only on stock, but what i want to see on chart is always fixed, although it can not be exact always, little up or down as market moves on zig-zag pattern. Here is what i can share from my knowledge till now…
So first, you have to see market unprejudiced, like without any conclusions, to find for, what works best or whatever thing you can catch that works! Just like explore. In this stage, man, you have to watch charts maybe for hours daily or you may find it little earlier or later.
Once you find what works, that maybe different for different persons, once you know that, you don’t need to look market like without any blink of eye, you can just note market like where it is right now (may take just few minutes), and when the thing that you are waiting for will come?, like you can time market roughly, and then you visit market at some gaps and when you notice that the thing you are looking for, is about to come, then you need to be attentive to market to put trade.
That thing can be like any candlestick chart pattern or indicator or there combination which you made (strategy) and found working in first stage i mentioned above.
So you are almost free, cause you know what you need catch, so you are like in chill mood, like when opportunity comes, will trade or else better!
So, more or less, the things that moves the market is same, not even similar. However, there maybe some exceptions. So don’t be in hurry to just go to youtube and copy paste some strategy, just don’t make conclusions and be open minded!
