After spending countless hours on different trading forums, there seems to be one constant - very few discussions out there actually talk about real trades. Sure there's plenty of after the fact discussions and even then some discussions are foggy at best.
But not with candlestick analysis. As I've
outlined here with the sticky threads at the top, once you put your trading arsenal together, off you go.
And then look at the threads buried here on TL - we have threads where actual trades are being discussed, sometimes we see blotters and many calls are done in real-time. Just look around.
I think this little nook on TL is worth so much more than many here would give it credit for. There is money being made in this corner, yet most on the forum would prefer to discuss whether a squat was a short or long.
I have never seen more confused questions than the infamous
VSA thread. Has there been ONE person to ever show they make money with that stuff? Just one????
Doesn't add up to me.
Since trading cannot possibly be as 'easy' as we try here in the CC (candlestick corner), it can't possibly work.
Call it what you want - candlesticks, price action, price reading, etc. - the underlying premise works. Visually candlesticks tell the story of the bulls and bears. And that's all this game is about - who is winning and what side will you be on?
