Hos i am by no means the best, not by a long shot. But i am happy to share any knowledge i have with anyone.
My journey began at
the pattern site
follow that link and explore some of the patterns in the list. look for examples of them in the market. i focused on one or two patterns to start with, my favourite at the time was the
falling wedge simply because the logic of it made sense to me.
you just have to feel comfortable with a few principles and test them out over and over again to get a feel of how successful they are and to make your own rules of when you think they have failed you or not.
once you feel comfortable with patterns, which might take you a few months, hit me up again and we can chat about other stuff. there's ways of using moving averages, ways of using indicators (my preference is for OBV and RSI), ways of using fibonacci levels, plenty of different techniques. in the end, it's good to get a feel for a few and apply them all to build a "3 dimensional" picture of what you are trying to analyze (just using one tool can be deceptive, and you need to confirm your thoughts with other tools).
number one rule, though, imo, is that there are NO rules, only ways of using tools, and if you can get consistent results using a particular tool the "wrong" way, keep doing it, because the market is only what we make of it.
good luck...
