3) The candles actually seem to distract me from the points. I wonder if it would make sense for me, anyway, to use a line chart.

Edit...the only thing I can think of as a starting point is to try to find the 3's.

The problem with a line chart is that it's usually based on an average. OHLC avg, HLC, VWAP, etc... So it's doesn't tell the whole story and it won't show overlaps that invalidate a count either. Candlesticks and OHLC bars are best suited for this job.

Furthermore, the shape of a candlestick also brings relevant market information. Cheesy

You are correct however, this has nothing to do with EW. There is a wealth of info in candles, but the only thing we use in EW is the high and low of the candle.
