tools.whatItDoes

A 20-question quiz that shows simplified candlestick visuals and asks you to identify the pattern. Each answer includes a short explanation.

tools.howToUse

  1. Look at the simplified candle pattern.
  2. Pick the answer that matches.
  3. Read the explanation, then move to the next question.

tools.example

Sample: a candle with a tiny body near the top and a long lower wick after a downtrend. Answer: hammer. Hammers signal sellers pressed price down hard and were rejected.

tools.commonMistakes

  • Confusing a hammer (bottom signal) with a hanging man (top signal) — same shape, different context.
  • Reading single candles as signals. Patterns require sequence and context.
  • Forgetting that pattern names describe shapes, not predictions.

On their own, weakly. Combined with chart structure, time frame, and context, they become useful inputs to a decision — not signals.
