Trading is not so difficult as it was told. But the difficult part in trading is when to enter the market and when to Close the market. So when do you think one can buy or sell (enter) the market? Using the candle sticks to predict.
Ideally there is a complete theory on this you have to enter on primarily when there is either a breakout, reversal or continuation of any major pattern, in this you take confluence with some indicator that you have in your arsenal and then prepare some pivot points for take profit and stop losses. This way you trade appropriately finding the correct points of trading.
