doji
hammer
engulfing
harami

I want to invest in crypto, and these courses have gave me a lot of understanding about the candlestick charts, knowledge that i am applying to read the bitcoin and other crypto currencies charts. I was doing bad investments, now i control my emotions and am patient, ready for the next move. Thanks a lot Luca! Also i am in the chinese medicine and naturopathy and nutrition field.

Not well presented, just a list of candle patterns with description that seems like it's been read verbatim from a book. As an improvement instructor should be more fluid with his explanation .
By Peter Belmont on 1/11/2018
For a beginner, this course if priceless. You better memorize this entire course because the info is amazing. I looked at some real life price action, and you will be surprised how much of this is there. Instructor is totally great as well. Accent dont bother at all and is able to understand.

So i just started out with buying crypto currency and wanted learn how to trade. After buying 2 books about Candle Sticks i found out the material was pretty hard to understand and remember. Thankfully i found this course, I am now at 2/3 of the course and my understanding has sky rocketed.
By Keith Bleil on 9/7/2017
The summary chart comes in handy when trying to spot any of the ten patterns. I think the most helpful part of the course are the videos where Luca reviews several charts of each of the patterns. I think I am actually starting to see some of the patterns. Very good practice. I will need to practice in PaperMoney but I am certain this course has helped.

Doji and spinning top is just one indicator which does not give firm confirmation of next direction.
By Jared M on 6/28/2015
This was a great class that was quite informative and very useful. The lectures were short and easy to understand with nice graphics and explanations. I would definitely suggest this to anyone that wants to learn more about candlesticks and reading the various chart patterns they make.
By Tiffany Nguyen on 6/9/2015
Thank you for erasing my previous perception that candlestick trading is impossible to learn. I really enjoyed your walk through videos and planned to watch them over and over again. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I learned so much from this one that I just bought the rest of your Udemy courses.
By Randolph Taluban on 4/21/2015
This course was just what I needed. Having a better understanding of candlesticks reversal patterns and used in conjunction with my chart indicators has helped me greatly. It adds a level of clarity to what I am seeing and provides added confidence to my decisions.
By Jerry Dornon on 4/21/2015
I am more interested in FOREX than stocks. However, candlesticks and their patterns apply equally well to both. The instructor did a very good job describing the reversal patterns, what they mean and how to use them to place profitable trades. He also instructed how to uses the patterns with other indicators. I am constantly referring back to the lessons as I analyse my charts. tis class is very good. I would recommend it and other Udemy classes as well.
