Dislikedhey eohater,
I like that pdf you posted, "what you see is what you get" I read a forex book recentyly and it agrees with what you said... people tend to look for chart patterns which dont exist - if you dont see the pattern stick out instantly, chances are its not there and your just bending your perception.Ignored
While i have never looked for chart patterns i have spend much time looking at what the candles mean and what they tell about direction. There is a lot of strength there.
