Hmm, I would personally never base my trading decision on one gravestone doji. It would need to be corroborated by other factors. Anyway, consider this chart. I think it would be easier to connect the dots here than with just 15-ish candles on yours.
I will do you a favor. Candles tell you stories what Mr. Market wants to do. Read market like this guy. He posts charts on FF in real time and many times they are winners. Some part of his technic is based on Inner Circle Trader on Youtube channel, but he also has his own. Read only recent postings. His skill set has been improved a lot recently. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/post/14651236#post14651236
can you not recognise DB/DT....? can you not see how they behave in history, after the day is done. try that with second entries too. also post your trades with as much reasoning why you took it . if you cannot give one ot two reasons for the trade, you are gambling, guessing, trading on feel or like simplemelike trading on instinct. then this forum can tell you what was right with it. instead of me doing all the work you should participate. as you said you need the practice. Both brooks and TST says practice like a athlete. when i started trading 30 years ago i believed, contrary to popular opinion, that markets were rational and that billions of usd was not dumped into a random pot . this to me that erroneous belief was unbelievable rubbish and now after 30 years, with Brooks help, i have found that there is no mismatch between market action and trader action. Brooks also categorically states that market action is caused by trader action and since traders act in only a limited number of ways , market action can be known . market action is always two sided and for every bull trade, there is at the same time, a bear trade. it takes a long time to see all this and you have to see things . do not analyse observe there are none so blind as those that refuse to observe.
after 30 years of searching trying to figure out market-i decided to leave that to the PH.Ds and just make money with the most obvious patterns out there. they say trade what you see.it actually means trade what everyone can see. not the secrets that you, and only a few, know.
i do not see any heat in discussion. everyone agrees it works second entries work not because it is a pattern but because it is the result of trader action. it is trader action and not patterns that you should trade. Yes you have high probability of winning. BUT NO ONE SAYS, WHAT IT ISTHAT YOU ARE WINNING. WHAT YOU ARE WINNING IS SMALL REWARD AND IF YOU REFUSE SMALL REWARD THEN YOU GET BIG LOSS
