If you are new to trading, candlestick charts might look confusing. I remember when I first opened the chart, it was a bit irritating for me; there were candles everywhere Red, green, lines, shadows, wicks. It was a totally different language for me. If I don't learn this, the result will be a hard hit to my bank balance. Once you understand candlestick everythings become much easier.
Candles tell a story, and once you learn that story, you have a better understanding of how price moves.
