Four Numbers, One Shape
A candle encodes open, high, low and close in a shape you can read at a glance — and hides the order they happened in.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.
What the lesson covers
- 0:00One candle carries four numbers. It also hides something important.
- 0:05The anatomy. The body spans open to close. The wicks reach the extremes price touched.
- 0:14What the shape says. A long lower wick means sellers pushed down and buyers took it all back.
- 0:23What it hides. The candle never shows the order. Two opposite stories draw the identical shape.
- 0:32The practical consequence. Drop to a lower timeframe when the sequence inside the bar actually matters.
- 0:40Read the shape for the balance, not for the story.
