  4. 0:08cry like a little [ __ ]
  5. 0:10um but here we are day two we're
  6. 0:12actually looking at charts
  7. 0:14um but you probably won't learn much
  8. 0:17again because this is going to be a
  9. 0:19video from scratch but you will gain or
  10. 0:22sorry this is going to be a course from
  11. 0:24scratch
  12. 0:25um
  13. 0:26but you will gain a couple things I'm
  14. 0:27going to toss in some little tips that
  15. 0:30you know you probably didn't pick up
  16. 0:31when you were a beginner
  17. 0:33um that can help you along the way so
  18. 0:35today we are going to be talking about
  19. 0:38candlesticks and price movement and
  20. 0:40understanding price movement within
  21. 0:42candlesticks Okay so
  22. 0:44right we're on the S P 500 right now and
  23. 0:46pretty much every single chart you're
  24. 0:48going to have is going to look like this
  25. 0:50uh wow
  26. 0:52okay
  27. 0:53uh pretty much every single chart is
  28. 0:55going to have you know candlesticks like
  29. 0:57this right you can click through
  30. 1:01uh whatever ticker symbol you want
  31. 1:06and you'll see candlesticks okay
  32. 1:09and these candlesticks describe price
  33. 1:11okay how do they describe it okay
  34. 1:15through bodies and Wicks okay these are
  35. 1:17called candlesticks because they leave
  36. 1:19Wicks okay and these candlesticks tell a
  37. 1:22story so
  38. 1:24with that being said let's move over
  39. 1:25here
  40. 1:27and draw our own little candlesticks
  41. 1:32okay
  42. 1:40and I know you're probably thinking oh
  43. 1:42my God I don't need to learn about
  44. 1:44candlesticks I know you don't
  45. 1:46okay I know you don't but this is going
  46. 1:48to be beneficial Trust
  47. 1:51okay
  48. 1:52so these are two candlesticks okay let's
  49. 1:56say
  50. 2:00bro
  51. 2:01how do I
  52. 2:08okay whatever
  53. 2:10anyways okay
  54. 2:12ready so we have two candlesticks let's
  55. 2:15let's uh dude I wish I could color this
  56. 2:18thing
  57. 2:19um
  58. 2:22okay ready this one is going to be a
  59. 2:24down candle
  60. 2:25so I'll color it in like this actually
  61. 2:27that looks terrible
  62. 2:29forgive me we're going to make this oh
  63. 2:32here I'm so stupid there
  64. 2:37there we go that's a down candle
  65. 2:41this is an up candle cool cool okay so
  66. 2:45we're going to do a quick quick a quick
  67. 2:48overview
  68. 2:50of what these candlesticks represent
  69. 2:52what the opening the close represents
  70. 2:55what the body represents and what these
  71. 2:56little Wicks that they leave behind
  72. 2:58represent okay so first of all
  73. 3:01understanding candlesticks okay we need
  74. 3:04to understand what time frame we are
  75. 3:05there are so many little different time
  76. 3:07frame time frames up here that I'm
  77. 3:09scrolling through right one minute two
  78. 3:11minutes three minutes five minutes seven
  79. 3:12eight whatever okay
  80. 3:15and if you're very new you're probably
  81. 3:17saying well what what do those things
  82. 3:19mean that represents the time that it
  83. 3:22takes for the Candlestick to close Okay
  84. 3:26so if we are on the five minute chart
  85. 3:28which we are on currently
  86. 3:30if one of these let's write let's just
  87. 3:33say this is an actual Candlestick within
  88. 3:34the chart one of these candles this
  89. 3:38candle represents five minutes
  90. 3:41of price action of price movement okay
  91. 3:45and the reason why these candlesticks
  92. 3:48are so beneficial is Buzz is because we
  93. 3:52can read and see
  94. 3:54exactly what price did within those five
  95. 3:58minutes with just this one Candlestick
  96. 4:00okay oftentimes I can even be able to
  97. 4:04understand and pretty much just guess
  98. 4:07what is going on on one minute structure
  99. 4:11just purely based off of a five minute
  100. 4:13Candlestick or two five minute
  101. 4:15candlesticks and once you get good at
  102. 4:18this you'll understand how to do that as
  103. 4:21well
  104. 4:22um but
  105. 4:23okay we're on the five minute time frame
  106. 4:25one candle represents five minutes of
  107. 4:28price action and market movement okay so
  108. 4:32when we see a green candle or a bullish
  109. 4:34candle okay we see that it goes up and
  110. 4:38it ends right up here
  111. 4:40okay
  112. 4:41green means boom price went up right
  113. 4:44everyone knows a green candle means up
  114. 4:46in a red candle means down so in this
  115. 4:49instance price opened right here where
  116. 4:52the body of the candle starts and it
  117. 4:55closed at that five minute Mark right
  118. 4:59here okay
  119. 5:01so
  120. 5:04boom
  121. 5:05right here is the open and boom right
  122. 5:08here is the close
  123. 5:10okay we can put this thing down oh oops
  124. 5:13shrink
  125. 5:19the clothes and
  126. 5:23the open
  127. 5:25cool cool okay now what do these little
  128. 5:29Wicks that are left behind mean that
  129. 5:32shows where price went during that five
  130. 5:35minute duration of time okay but it
  131. 5:39never ended up closing there it just
  132. 5:40shows where price went right it left a
  133. 5:42little snail Trail okay it's like
  134. 5:45um
  135. 5:46like you take a [ __ ] and you put on your
  136. 5:49underwear and it's like super white like
  137. 5:53brand new Calvin Klein underwear and
  138. 5:56your [ __ ] from from a minute ago left a
  139. 6:02little snail Trail it's showing that you
  140. 6:04did go take a [ __ ]
  141. 6:06um I I to be honest I don't know how
  142. 6:08this relates to this but anyways okay it
  143. 6:11shows where price went so that means
  144. 6:13right if if there's a wick all the way
  145. 6:14up here that means within this five
  146. 6:16minute candle yes it didn't close up
  147. 6:18here but price moved up to this point
  148. 6:22okay and then same thing with here
  149. 6:25okay down here was the lowest price
  150. 6:28point that price went Within These five
  151. 6:31minutes so now we know okay this is the
  152. 6:33highest point it went to
  153. 6:35and this is the lowest point it went to
  154. 6:38okay same exact thing on a bearish
  155. 6:42candle
  156. 6:46okay
  157. 6:47just slightly different okay instead the
  158. 6:51open is up here
  159. 6:53okay and the close is down here
  160. 6:57okay so the close on a bearish candle is
  161. 7:00lower obviously and the open on a
  162. 7:03bearish candle is higher okay remember
  163. 7:07oops
  164. 7:08and again right up here is the highest
  165. 7:11point that price was able to go to
  166. 7:14okay and down here was the lowest point
  167. 7:17that price was able to go to
  168. 7:19perfect candlesticks [ __ ] simplified
  169. 7:21by tjr now we can get rid of this
  170. 7:24[ __ ]
  171. 7:25okay now we are going to talk about
  172. 7:28Candlestick patterns and and I know what
  173. 7:31you're going to say you're probably
  174. 7:32going to say whoa tjr
  175. 7:35whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
  176. 7:41what the [ __ ] I thought you hate
  177. 7:42Candlestick patterns I do I hate the
  178. 7:45ones the Candlestick patterns that are
  179. 7:48based off of mountain tops [ __ ] W's
  180. 7:54Head Shoulders that [ __ ] is BS I also
  181. 7:58hate Candlestick patterns I really hate
  182. 8:01every single Candlestick pattern that is
  183. 8:03more that that contains more than two
  184. 8:05candles
  185. 8:06the only Candlestick patterns I like
  186. 8:09because they can actually show you price
  187. 8:12action and dictate where price is going
  188. 8:14to go are the single Candlestick
  189. 8:17patterns okay so let's look up
  190. 8:21if this thing will load
  191. 8:25candle stick
  192. 8:29patterns cheat sheet
  193. 8:33hopefully this pulls up the single
  194. 8:34candlesticks
  195. 8:37um okay good it has some of them on this
  196. 8:39all right
  197. 8:42let's pull this thing up and let's zoom
  198. 8:44on in okay
  199. 8:46so first of all we don't give a [ __ ]
  200. 8:50about this entire top row okay I also
  201. 8:53don't give a [ __ ] about anything in here
  202. 8:58anything in here anything from here and
  203. 9:01below I only care about doji's
  204. 9:04long-legged doji's long-legged dojis and
  205. 9:07doji's are the same thing okay
  206. 9:09cross doji's and inverse cross doji's
  207. 9:12dragonfly doji's hammers okay
  208. 9:16those are the only things I care about
  209. 9:18okay just this row forget about all this
  210. 9:21[ __ ]
  211. 9:22this is garbage okay no we don't give a
  212. 9:24[ __ ]
  213. 9:25all right just focus on this row right
  214. 9:27here okay and why are we going to be
  215. 9:29talking about this okay it's because
  216. 9:33these candlesticks are showing price
  217. 9:36action and showing where price rejected
  218. 9:40and where it didn't okay so if I can
  219. 9:44honestly just find these on the chart I
  220. 9:46don't know why I pulled that up um but
  221. 9:50with a candle this is just like a
  222. 9:52perfect example with a candle like this
  223. 9:55one right we see price opens right here
  224. 9:59it doesn't go low right it pushes all
  225. 10:03the way up to this point but then closes
  226. 10:06down here
  227. 10:07okay this candle is essentially saying
  228. 10:10to me okay we have strong bowls but not
  229. 10:14strong enough to close
  230. 10:18damn not strong enough to close all the
  231. 10:21way up here or here or here or here we
  232. 10:24left a fat ass Wick up here meaning it
  233. 10:27was not strong enough to close above
  234. 10:29whatever was residing above here and
  235. 10:33more than likely it was taking this
  236. 10:35liquidity
  237. 10:36okay
  238. 10:39so
  239. 10:40right we knew that price pushed up close
  240. 10:45still bullish
  241. 10:46but there was weakness because it
  242. 10:48couldn't finish out this candle right
  243. 10:51now
  244. 10:53let's find another example okay
  245. 10:56um
  246. 11:02right here okay similar situation but
  247. 11:05with a doji usually doji's which are
  248. 11:08just small bodies of candles okay so
  249. 11:11when a candle looks like this
  250. 11:16doji's are great for reading price
  251. 11:19action okay it's usually small body long
  252. 11:21Wicks or just just small body of a
  253. 11:25Candlestick in general okay
  254. 11:28looks like this okay something like that
  255. 11:31of some sorts okay probably not that
  256. 11:33long of candles of Wicks but you know
  257. 11:35what I get you know what I'm getting at
  258. 11:37anyways doji's are great because they
  259. 11:40can show us indecision in the market and
  260. 11:43indecision with a bias in One Direction
  261. 11:45okay so when we see this bearish doji
  262. 11:49right we're obviously not taking a trade
  263. 11:51off of this but we need to be able to
  264. 11:52read the candlesticks right these are
  265. 11:54these small things that that intuition
  266. 11:56can build that that experience builds by
  267. 11:59being able to see and read these
  268. 12:00candlesticks when most people aren't
  269. 12:02able to do that most people are saying
  270. 12:04liquidity was swept we broke structure
  271. 12:05but you guys can't even read these
  272. 12:07candlesticks you don't even understand
  273. 12:08what these are saying to you and they're
  274. 12:10telling you a lot of information
  275. 12:13okay so this Candlestick in particular
  276. 12:15right we see Boom Big sell-off down here
  277. 12:19okay and then we get to this candle okay
  278. 12:21we get long Wicks to the downside
  279. 12:24but not a full body close right we don't
  280. 12:28see a a a big body close to the downside
  281. 12:32means we're losing bearish momentum okay
  282. 12:35and as you can see we did lose it we
  283. 12:37start consolidating pull up a little bit
  284. 12:38higher and then nothing [ __ ] happens
  285. 12:40after that right so we lost bearish
  286. 12:43momentum with this candle we can see
  287. 12:46that through the long Wick to the
  288. 12:48downside and then it failing to close
  289. 12:51lower in a regular sized candle right
  290. 12:55this is a doji this is showing
  291. 12:56indecision within the market
  292. 12:58okay
  293. 13:01again right we we we see the long
  294. 13:04extension of a wick to the upside all
  295. 13:07right showing that hey you know we we
  296. 13:11pushed all the way up here but we failed
  297. 13:13to close above here right
  298. 13:17we failed to close above these price
  299. 13:19points and then what happened we fell
  300. 13:22okay but this is not something you take
  301. 13:24a trade off of this is just slowly
  302. 13:26learning and understanding okay these
  303. 13:29candlesticks and what they're trying to
  304. 13:30tell you okay let's go over to gold gold
  305. 13:33can give us
  306. 13:34um some some great momentum some great
  307. 13:38volume and also shows us some great
  308. 13:40Candlestick patterns okay
  309. 13:44let's go to the Daily
  310. 13:51where are we at
  311. 13:55huh
  312. 13:57okay
  313. 14:00right here okay this is a great example
  314. 14:02okay we push up we come down okay yes we
  315. 14:07formed a bullish doji
  316. 14:09right this is a doji candle however
  317. 14:13right
  318. 14:15we've we failed to push up completely
  319. 14:17yes we see strong rejection to the
  320. 14:20downside and yes we do see closures to
  321. 14:22the upside okay this is why we cannot be
  322. 14:25taking
  323. 14:27trades purely off of Candlestick
  324. 14:29patterns because this this is only one
  325. 14:31confluence
  326. 14:33okay yeah we see boom super strong
  327. 14:36rejection to the downside with this Wick
  328. 14:38and then we close bullish still right
  329. 14:40but we're in a downtrend we are
  330. 14:43continuously breaking structure to the
  331. 14:45downside
  332. 14:48okay
  333. 14:49so that's an example of where we can't
  334. 14:52we can't let our bias get [ __ ]
  335. 14:55get lost in these patterns okay the
  336. 14:58these are very very minimal in what you
  337. 15:01need to trade but it is good to
  338. 15:03understand and to know and to learn
  339. 15:06these if you don't know them already
  340. 15:08they're fairly simple you really just
  341. 15:10have to know right a [ __ ] strong
  342. 15:14close which is what literally a regular
  343. 15:17Candlestick looks like to you so like
  344. 15:18this candle for example is a just a
  345. 15:21strong close right it's full
  346. 15:24it's full it has not many not a high
  347. 15:28Wick
  348. 15:29um to the upside if anything a highway
  349. 15:31to the upside on this candle would be
  350. 15:32even more of a reason for it to be a
  351. 15:35strong close and then also right the the
  352. 15:37wick to the downside is fairly small
  353. 15:39again compared to the body right so we
  354. 15:42had a move to the downside and we were
  355. 15:44able to close and continue down right
  356. 15:47and it wasn't just
  357. 15:49a wick to the downside and then I move
  358. 15:52back on up showing weakness
  359. 15:55okay
  360. 15:57let's just keep going through and
  361. 15:59spotting these on um on the chart
  362. 16:05okay again right this candle
  363. 16:10this is a great
  364. 16:12wow great example of something of of
  365. 16:15something where like we see liquidity
  366. 16:17get swept in almost like a confirmation
  367. 16:19candle
  368. 16:20okay right we see this long long Wick to
  369. 16:22the downside price
  370. 16:24at one point remember guys we have to
  371. 16:26understand that price was opened here
  372. 16:29so at one point in time during this week
  373. 16:32price was literally a big
  374. 16:36red candle
  375. 16:40from this point down you PR right
  376. 16:43everyone probably thought this [ __ ] is
  377. 16:45going to the floor
  378. 16:47right because and this is where like
  379. 16:50your head headspace can [ __ ] get [ __ ]
  380. 16:52up because people get so caught up in in
  381. 16:55the candle that's forming and not the
  382. 16:58candle that has formed okay we can only
  383. 17:02make bias and decision on candles that
  384. 17:05have formed not candles that are forming
  385. 17:08okay that's why we always wait for a
  386. 17:10close for a break of structure
  387. 17:13right we have to wait for that
  388. 17:14Candlestick to close because right it's
  389. 17:18not an actual candle until price action
  390. 17:20is done within you know whatever time
  391. 17:22frame that we're on
  392. 17:24okay so this candle for example we get a
  393. 17:27strong rejection to the downside right
  394. 17:29price pushed all the way down here but
  395. 17:31then nope was able to first of all opens
  396. 17:35down here comes all the way down here
  397. 17:37and then rallies all the way back up to
  398. 17:39this point and closes up here
  399. 17:43that is a very very strong bullish
  400. 17:46candle right we see
  401. 17:49massive Wick to the downside tiny Wick
  402. 17:53to the upside meaning it literally
