Price action patterns
What it is
Reading single candles and small patterns (pin bars, engulfing bars, inside bars) at meaningful levels to time entries.
The rules
SetupA level or trend context first. Patterns in the middle of nowhere mean little.EntryPin bar: break of its nose. Engulfing: close of the engulfing candle. Inside bar: break of the mother bar.StopBeyond the pattern's extreme.TargetThe next level, at least 1.5–2R.
When it fails
When patterns are taken out of context or on very low timeframes, where they appear constantly.
Risk profile
Depends entirely on the context and the trader's selectivity.
Who it suits
Traders who like clean charts without indicators.
Education, not advice. Goldman Academy teaches how markets and tools work. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell, and no lesson promises profits. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of losing money; only trade money you can afford to lose.
