Trader's Field ManualCandlestick Analysis

Reading price like a tape, not a picture book

By Mark S. Jaeger · Advanced edition

A working reference for the active trader. Every pattern is drawn to scale and read the same way: its structure, the psychology of the tape behind it, and a playbook for trading it.

It doesn't stop at spotting shapes. The back half turns a pattern into a full trade, with context filters, entries, stops, R-multiple targets and position sizing, then closes with a nine-point pre-trade checklist.
