Candlestick patterns

Candle classifications describe price relative to the previous candle. Liquidity explains the potential target; the studied ICT model supplies entry confirmation.

Rules to keep

  1. 1 = inside: high and low stay inside the preceding candle’s range.
  2. 2 = directional: breaks the preceding high or low, but not both.
  3. 3 = outside: breaks both preceding extremes. A 2–1–2 sequence is directional → inside → directional breakout.
  4. Use these patterns to identify possible high/low targets. The lesson favours lower-timeframe ICT confirmation for execution.
  5. Repeated higher highs AND lower lows form broadening chop; reduce expectations or stand aside.
