 Hi, my name's Leon Roe currency trader and trading coach at trading 180.com and I want to talk about a Little trick you can use. It's called I call it the candlestick count confluence method now the candlestick count confluence method is a way to kind of add the Probabilities in your favor of at least a pause or a reversal at a level. So what I mean by that is if we count Candlesticks so bullish and bearish what you'll tend to have is maybe a couple of consecutive bullish or bearish candlesticks You know free here, you know to their to bullish free bearish to bullish free bearish to bullish And even as you have this little downtrend here You've got you know, one two three four five consecutive Bearish candles and then you've got a bullish candle and then you've got a few bearish candles and vice versa coming up So the candlestick count, you know as you see consecutive candles It's usually you know about three four possibly into the fives. It's very rare that you get You know whether it gets rarer as you go to six seven eight consecutive bullish or bearish candles As you can see if we go back again You can you know just just do a count on your own chart as one see how many bullish and bearish consecutive candles You know the average is it's usually around about, you know, three four five possibly into the maybe sixes again it gets Less I suppose it's rarer as it as you are getting to the six seven eight so When you see consecutive candle counts into a level or maybe seven eight or nine ten plus into a major, you know supply and demand or Support and resistance level that should give you some confluence Of at least a pause or a reversal, right? So for example, we're on the pound dollar daily chart So we've got a consecutive candle count into this level of supply of one two three four five six seven eight consecutive bullish candles Now you have to expect there's gonna be some pause I mean the probabilities are pretty much in your favor if you think about the psychology if you were a trader down here and you bought Where are you gonna wear you most most likely to take profit? You're gonna take profit up here and if you buy down here you're gonna sell up here if you're a Supplying demand trade or support and resistance trader. Where are you most likely to probably try and get short? It's gonna be around here. So it's gonna be a whole load of sell orders around here so Again price once price reached up here. It's very You know rare that price will continue into the you know 10 11 12 and really kind of break through a level So don't be scared when you see this type of price action. I know it's bullish and it looks like you're You know, you're you're basically selling into a really strong momentum move, but you've got the candlestick count Confluence Probabilities in your favor. Don't be scared of something like this In fact, I love looking for things like this because it gives me the confluence in my trades to know that I'm You know should be on the right side of the market If we do get a pause especially if you're trading on the lower time frame So, you know, you there's there's definitely an opportunity to make some money on the lower time frames Let me see if I can find another Couple of examples on some other charts So here's an example on the New Zealand Yen pair from the downside and the upside on the weekly chart so you can see there was some Resistance here resistance resistance resistance, which then turned to support now as prices came down into this level We had one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven You know down weeks into this level of This broke it what it was broken a resistance now Turned support so you can have some confidence that you know people who basically Was selling up here are going to be taking profit down here and again the longer it carries on is the more You should see something again a pause or reversal. I'm not saying that you know You're gonna definitely get a reversal here or anything like that. It's just Because it also depends on fundamentals and sentiment and what's going on behind the scene central bank policy, etc, etc so You know, but I'm just saying that the odds are in your favor the longer you see the consecutive candle count and now we have up to the upside so we have this area of Supply so we have one two three four five six seven weeks of You know of bullishness and then we get our Pause so then what you would you know You're more likely to do is look at this level on an intraday chart and then see if you can you know see your your entry and have That confluence behind you that you've had You know, you're gonna have at least some supply up here again from traders taking profit From down here all the way up here. You've got supply and supply and demand traders supply traders You know getting in here support and resistance traders, etc Etc. So I hope that helps Have a great trading week and I suppose we can now it's Friday So, yeah, I speak to you soon
