01

What a chart shows

Every chart answers two simple questions: where price has been and how it behaved there. It does not explain every reason a move happened.

02

Candles in plain English

A candle shows the open, high, low, and close for a chosen period. A daily candle summarizes one trading day. A five-minute candle summarizes five minutes.

03

Timeframes change context

A move that looks large on a five-minute chart may be small on a daily chart. Use the larger timeframe for structure, then use a smaller timeframe only when it helps you read the current decision.

04

Beginner takeaway

Keep the first chart clean: price, a chosen timeframe, and a few tools that answer a clear question. More indicators do not automatically mean more clarity.
