Candlestick patterns
Three white soldiers and three black crows
Three consecutive strong candles in the same direction, each closing beyond the previous one with small wicks.
Why it works
Steady, one-sided pressure over three periods often marks the start of a new leg, especially when it breaks structure.
How to use it
After the pattern, wait for the first pullback and join the move. Stop below the pullback low (or above the high for crows).
The typical mistake
Buying the third soldier at the top: after three big candles a pullback is very likely.
