Hi traderindie79,
Welcome to T2W.
If you're new to trading and new to Technical Analysis (TA), then I would advise against delving too deeply into candlestick charting patterns. IMO, they are much more likely to mislead (the novice) than they are to enlighten. The reason for this is that they are time dependent and, consequently, largely illusory. Candlestick patterns are simply snapshots in time taken at regular intervals (e.g. 1 minute, 30 minute or 4 hours etc.,) of which the market itself is unaware and to which it attaches no importance. To illustrate this, take a 15 minute interval. Instead of plotting each candlestick on the hour and at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour, imagine it plotted one minute past the hour and, thereafter,16 minutes, 31 and 46 minutes past the hour. It's still a 15 minute interval, but the resulting chart will likely look very different. The patterns that appear on the 'normal' 15 minute chart would change, disappear or, even, be replaced by conflicting patterns. The only significant time to the market is the day open and the day close; everything in between is pretty much meaningless. This applies primarily to the equities market. If you're trading a 24 hour market such as forex, then even the significance of a daily time frame is questionable.
My recommendation would be to start off with a simple line chart if you particularly want to stick to time based intervals. Better still, take time out of the equation altogether and look at pure price action in the form of a Point & Figure (PnF) chart. If that's too hardcore for you, try a Renko chart as this has similar characteristics as PnF whilst retaining a sort of candlestick appearance.
Tim.
