Ok so when i started with trading I try to learn so much about candlestick patterns but when i started looking at other traders on YouTube and even generally online I hardly see anyone even consider them while trading yeah they might look at color of candle but that's all. Specially those advance candlestick patterns like rising soldiers and all that, I don't even remember anyone even mention them once while trading or in any tutorial. So my question is for trading veterans here do they use it or is it really overrated thing which serve no purpose in real time trading?
This is all I can tell you, dude, you shouldn't believe the influencers on youtube who supposedly teach about how to read a candlestick, because out of 100% maybe only 1% of them are actually telling the truth because almost most of the influencers that this is the only catch is views. So no matter what you look for in the things you want to hear and see in them, you won't really see it.
In short, you are just wasting time, you can only have an idea but what the content creator said, you should not believe 100%, you should analyze it first before you believe it.
If so, it is better to have your own experience so that at least you yourself can say what you should do so that you can understand the meaning of the movement of the candlesticks.
