All the Levels of The Japanese Candlesticks Trading Mastery Program are designed to help you :
Learn How to Trade Stocks, Forex & Commodities Using Candlesticks & Technical Analysis to Become a Professional Trader
In this course, my goal is to teach you every aspect of the windows.
The 'window' is my favorite candlestick pattern for 3 reasons:
1) Its simple
2) Its effective
3) Its very powerful
Here is the general flow of this course:
In the first two sections, you will learn what happens after a window is formed. In the candlesticks terminology, every candle represents a battle between the bulls and the bears. Hence, in the first 2 sections, we will closely observe the battle between the bulls and the bears that takes place after the rising / falling window. The result of this battle gives us an idea of the probable direction of the market.
In this course, I will give you a general framework to master the windows, so that you don't have to memorize the individual situations presented in this course. This framework will simplify the windows for you.
In the next two sections, you will learn the importance of windows that show up after a period of consolidation in the market. The longer the period of consolidation, the more powerful is going to be the window. We will look at multiple chart examples in each section of this course.
There is something about two small white candles that appear the rising or the falling window. I will teach you how to analyze that situation. That is exactly what you will learn in section 5 & 6.
In level 2, I had made a quick mention of the dumpling tops and the frypan bottoms. In section 7 and 8, we will dive into the details of the dumpling tops and frypan bottoms. Both of these are reversal patterns containing the windows. However, please keep in mind that, windows in general are continuation patterns.
We will end the course with multiple chart examples of windows that need to be analysed in the context of the current market situation. Just because you see a window on the chart, does not mean that you have to trade it. We will look at specific examples of this. It will keep you away from bad trades.
