Part I. The Language of Price

  1. Price as the result of the battle between buyers and sellers
  2. Open, High, Low, Close
  3. The candle body and its wicks
  4. What was happening inside a single candle
  5. Candle size and relative strength of the move
  6. Candle sequence is more important than a single candle
  7. Timeframe and market fractality
  8. Context is more important than the pattern name
Editorial principle

A candle is a compressed record of price action. In the book we first learn to read this record, then we combine it with market structure, zones, breakouts, liquidity, risk management, and statistics.
