Candlestick & Volume Foundations Workshop
A full-day, in-person course for traders who can name candlestick patterns but want to understand when volume supports or undermines the signal before placing a trade.
Who this is for
Retail and part-time traders with at least six months of chart experience. You should already know what a doji, hammer, and engulfing bar look like. This workshop does not teach platform navigation or broker setup — it focuses on reading what the candles and volume bars are telling you together.
What you will cover
- Single-candle patterns and the volume signatures that strengthen or weaken them
- Two- and three-bar structures: inside bars, harami, and morning/evening stars with volume confirmation
- Reading volume at support and resistance — climactic selling vs. genuine absorption
- Building a pre-trade checklist that requires both panels before entry
- Live walkthrough of five historical setups on UK-listed equities and major FX pairs
What is included
- Printed workbook with 40 annotated chart examples (yours to keep)
- Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon refreshments
- Access to one follow-up practice group session within three months
What is not included
- Trading signals, stock picks, or managed account services
- Software licences or broker referrals
- Recordings of the session
