How to Read Forex Charts Without Getting Overwhelmed
When you're new to forex, opening a price chart can feel like staring at a foreign language. Candlesticks, wicks, patterns, indicators—it’s easy to feel lost. But here’s the good news:
You don’t need to understand everything to trade effectively—you just need to know what matters.
Start with the Basics
Most forex charts show the same core information: price movements over time. Each candlestick represents a specific period (e.g., one day, one hour), showing the open, high, low, and close prices.
Instead of jumping into complicated indicators, focus on reading the story the candles tell. Are prices moving up steadily? Is there a sudden reversal? Is the market flat or ranging?
