Whats interesting say with the two different candle structures is as you were pointing out they can give different meanings .You need the confirmation candles say . So what the lady maybe pointing out is when looking back on the pattern you do look at the before candles as well say as back testing the pattern same as you wait for the next candle or candles form the confirmation of the candle pattern .
Five candles is in the bigger amount of candles in a pattern that's for sure . The main importance is you are recognizing the pattern when coming across them scrolling imo
Thats the area that takes ages learn to see the subtle differences say from the text book perfect ones .
At least now with changing the candles you can possibly see a falling three an how it looks in the beer candles while scrolling .
