Key Takeaways

→Technical analysis is a repeatable process for putting the odds in your favor, not a way to predict price with certainty. Nobody has ever done that.
→A candlestick chart shows open, close, high and low for each period; a line chart shows only the close. Use candlesticks for analysis, line charts to strip out noise and see the bigger trend.
→Markets are fractal: the same patterns and structures repeat at every timeframe. The principles in this module apply on a 5 minute chart exactly as they do on a daily chart.
→Learn cheap. Paper trade on TradingView for at least three months and confirm you're profitable before risking real money, not after.
