    What is the Most Powerful Candlestick Reversal Pattern?

    What is the Most Powerful Candlestick Reversal Pattern? it is my opinion that candlesticks have no power in and of themselves. What happens after the pattern is random. there is no cause & effect. if candlesticks had power they would be cause and have an effect. but since after the candle...

    Combining Day Trading with Swing Trading

    I would consider entering a oco order using a target and stop loss. one cancels the other order. that way your day trade can give you a bigger profit or small loss. when you get to work you can check and raise your stop loss. most brokers now allow trading off your cell phone and other...
