Curriculum

How our candlestick pattern training progresses — from single-bar literacy to multi-candle structures and deliberate stand-aside calls.

This map mirrors what participants experience across the Candlestick Pattern Intensive and, at a slower pace, the Evening Pattern Lab. Use it to judge whether our focus matches the gaps in your own reading.

Single-bar literacy

Body-to-wick ratios, real-body dominance, spinning tops versus dojis, hammer and shooting-star geometry. Emphasis on measuring the bar against the prior impulse rather than memorizing silhouettes.

Location before name

Drills that force you to describe support, resistance, and trend state before announcing a pattern label. A textbook hammer mid-range earns a different response than the same shape at a multi-week low.

Dual-bar families

Engulfing, harami, piercing, and dark-cloud logic with counter-examples: shallow covers, outside bars that lack follow-through, and bullish labels printed into descending structure.

Triple-bar & continuation context

Morning and evening stars, three-methods style continuation, and when a “perfect” sequence still fails because volume or session timing contradicts the story.

Stand-aside discipline

Timed drills where the correct answer is no trade. Participants practice writing invalidation and walking away when candle evidence is decorative rather than decisive.

Materials you will handle

Replay clips from recent Taiwan and overlapping sessions, printed drill sheets, and your own annotated trade history. We avoid decorative dashboards; the work happens on ordinary charts with ordinary timeframes.

Natural next action

If this sequence matches what you need, reserve a place on the Intensive or ask which Evening Lab week aligns with your weakest family. Prefer a focused look at your own book first? Book a Private Chart Review.
