im more of a visual learner. To be honest, it will take me some time to catch on to something when it comes to learning something very new. i want someone to break it down in detail of what these candlesticks and chart pattern mean but in such a easy way but i dont know who or where to go. do anyone have any recommendation?
try to perceive the candlestick as a dynamic animation rather than a fixed picture.
So see a strong bullish candle as a giant letter S - price started on the left near the base and went down a little, then went up a lot before closing down a little. try to see the price as a point of light moving along the S’s line from open to close each time you see that type of candle. Reverse the animation for a strongly bearish candle.
When you see a hammer, see price starting at the top of a very narrow giant V. It slides fast down the left-hand slope and climbs just as fast up the right-hand. Try to re-play this animation in your mind’s eye each time you see a hammer. Reverse it for a shooting star

If your more inclined to “visuals” then you’ll want to primarily trade using technical analysis. Candlesticks are the “final state representation” of underlying order flow. Individual candles are much less revealing than patterns about where price is likely to move (emphasis on likely). The fundamental concept for price action analysis to fully understand impulses and corrections. Start there.
