Hello house I have been trading for a while now but I am still not quite at the level I had hoped to be. I get so turn around at times and I havencome to believe that price does not always give you warning before it start trending an example is GBPUSD 15-08-2018 to 31-10-2018 I was looking towards a gatley or crab pattern but with price so close to 161.8% fib level I was.waiting for a signal On H1 or H4 but surprisingly price just skyrocket leaving waiting saying it will come back time give a signal

Call it what you will, its all price action. a candle is simple a graphical representation of that price action and each candle ha a story of its own to tell, and a few candles together make up a pattern.
A guy named Thomas Bulkowski wrote the Encyclopedia and included percentages of this candle or that pattern. For me to be trusted it must have over a 75% percentage of success. To that end, there are only a few basic patterns and candles.
However, Steve Nison gets most of the credit for this education.
At the beginning of the session, PA can only go three ways, up, down and sideways.

I am a newbie going through the school of Pipsology. There is a quiz on chart patterns at the end of grade 7 and I think question 5 must be a writing mistake. The way the question is formulated the answer should be (I think) either a triangle or a pennant but neither is proposed as a possible answer. FWIW.

Price Action is a theory of market behavior based on the psychology of the traders, market makers, and the market itself. It attempts to explain the volatility of the market without news, indicators and other external factors.
The main tool of Price Action are the charts of the currency pairs and the patterns on them.
The Price Action traders analyze those charts to gain insight into the market and predict future events.

Basically you are interpreting what’s happening on the charts through interpreting the candlestick patters. Now the candlestick patterns reflect the trading decisions of both sellers and buyers

bro i dont think its good to use indicator. you got to learn to watch out for price action.
You asked a good and legitimate question. Indeed, charts only tell us what had happened in the past, but they won’t be able to tell us what is going to happen next. All price patterns, formations, etc, are just names created and conclusions drawn by the respective chartist to satisfy their own imaginations. They are just illusions, don’t waste time on identifying them!
