Master Candlestick Patterns
29 patterns — bullish and bearish. Study psychology with the Lab, drill recognition with the Simulator.
Pattern Reference & Psychology
Step-by-step psychology playback, trade setup rules, risk management, quizzes, and eye-training. 29 patterns across 5 categories.
Open Lab ↓Bodies, Wicks & the Doji Family
The single sessions that offer no trade of their own — bodies, wicks, spinning tops and the doji family — and how they decide what the patterns around them mean.
Open Reference →How to Practise the Patterns
The practice plan behind the labs: three phases from recognition to a niche, what a session looks like, what to log, and how long it really takes.
Open Guide →Bar-by-Bar Drill Training
Watch patterns form in real time with randomized price action. Practice identifying entries, stops, and targets before they reveal.
Open Simulator →Bullish Reversal Patterns
11 patterns 11 builtWhy this order?
These cards are arranged by how often each pattern appears in real markets, most common first. The ranking is based on Thomas Bulkowski’s frequency research, which measured how often each candlestick pattern shows up in historical price data. See his candlestick pattern pages ↗
Why it matters: the patterns you’ll meet most often are the best ones to practise first.
Mirror pairs: each bearish card sits in the same spot as its bullish mirror. The shapes match or flip; the trend before the pattern decides which one you’re looking at. So the bearish order follows the bullish one closely, but not exactly by frequency.
Common isn’t the same as reliable: frequency tells you how often a pattern appears, not how well it works.
Frying Pan Bottom, Dumpling Top and Record Session Lows aren’t in his rankings, so they come last.
