đš THE FATAL ERROR THAT 90% OF TRADERS MAKE WHEN READING CANDLES
You can be good, disciplined, used to reading candlesticks⊠but there is one mistake that even experienced traders fall into:
đ Believing that a candle pattern will react as it usually does.
Yes, weâve all seen a hammer⊠a doji⊠a bullish engulfing.
We recognize them, we âfeelâ themâŠ
And one day, BOOM: the market does the complete opposite of what you thought.
Why?
Because the candle does not give a promise⊠it gives a probability.
And thatâs where the majority gets trapped đ„
â The fatal error: Interpreting the candle without the market context.
A single candle = 10% of the information.
But many trade as if a single candle is enough to decide their Take Profit and Stop Loss.
Result:
The market breaks the trend in one go
A false breakout causes panic
A âperfectâ engulfing becomes a trap
A strong green candle⊠before a crash
The trader does not lose because of the candleâŠ
đ but because they ignored the context: volume, trend, liquidity, session, volatility.
đŻ The truth that pros know:
A candle is NEVER a guarantee.
It is just a language.
And this language changes depending on where the candle appears.
Do you want to be pro? Then remember this:
đ Never trust a candle alone.
Trust the context.
đ§© What you need to analyze BEFORE trusting a candle:
The overall trend (H1, H4)
The volume (high or low?)
Key zones (support/resistance)
Liquidity (where does the market want to go?)
The session (London, USâŠ)
The current volatility
If you ignore even one of these elements â you put your trade at risk.
đ„ Powerful conclusion for your blog
The candle is not the mistake.
The habit is, YES.
Because when you believe that the market repeats the pastâŠ
đ Thatâs when it surprises you.
