A candlestick lasts the time you set on your chart settings - 1 minute is usually the minimum. Most traders use one or more of -
5 minute
15 minute
30 minute
1 hour
4 hours
1 day
1 week

For a new trader its often advisable to buy when prices are rising in an uptrend and go short when they are falling in a downtrend.

A stop-loss order ensures that if price goes down when you thought it would go up, at least you will be taken out of the position before this causes serious losses to your account.

I suggest you Google ‘best brokers 2022’. Then you could choose which regulated broker you consider to be suitable for you. Avoid eToro as their spreads are not competitive.
