In all of my training material, I stress that while candlesticks give many timing advantages, the trader must always take into account risk and reward. One of my Nison Trading Principles (my 13 most important trading concepts) is, Even a perfect candle signal does not equal a good trade! One must always judge the potential trades risk-reward.\nNot understanding this is probably one of the most common mistakes made by those new to candlesticks.\nBy using a protective stop, we harness one of the major strengths of technical analysis. To wit: fostering a sound money management approach to trading. A stop means that there is a price at which the position is wrong. As the Japanese proverb says, When you are\nriding a dead horse, it is best to dismount.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTEVE NISON, CMT\nCandlecharts.com","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52133915558257,"sku":"\\V22\\C04\\068LET.pdf","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_ebac4887-4cda-4926-856e-b4d7e33d7165.jpg?v=1739657010","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/stcov22186le","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
