6. Why should I study candlesticks?
Because everyone will think I’m a candle-analyst and hip to the latest technical advances? or
Because it will help me to enter and exit trades with more accuracy?

7. Candlesticks A visual examination of supply and demand
Fear and greed extend daily ranges to create a picture of market action
Candles give warning signs
Candles identify directional changes
Works well on issues that tend to have higher volatility
Works well on lower price issues that have less fundamental history

8. Technical Analysis using Candlesticks
Candlesticks: Work well on all issues and time frames
Moving Averages (T3’s): A new twist on moving averages
Momentum Oscillators: Reliable measurements of overbought and oversold situations

9. Tri-tips
Are tri-tips a name for a cut of meat that is smoked over red oak wood…in the Santa Maria, California area? or
Are tri-tips a candlestick formation that is not found in any books and extremely helpful in identifying tops and bottoms?

10. Tri-tips Any wick extensions in one direction are important
Tri-tips have a high reliability
They give you time to react to the situation

15. Tweezer Tops and Bottoms
The “tweeze” really do please
A pattern that has a high reliability record for stopping market direction
The longer the the tweezers…the more powerful the signal tends to be
The smaller the timeframes the more tweezers appear

16. Two Hammers = Tweezers

17. Tweezer top plus, plus, plus

18. Wick Extensions
Tweezers, shooting stars and tri-tips result from wicks extending in one direction
Wicks are areas of price REJECTION
A lot of price rejection in close proximity results in movement in the other direction
Wicks can offer high risk/reward trading
