I really should also look at fundamentals

With my dismal showing as can be witnessed in my prevous post, I've figured out what I did wrong, I should have at least read a little bit about what was happening in the world of fundamentals rather than just looking at RSI and trying to guess... There was some big announcement about a pause in US intererst rates which has caused everyone to ditch the USD.

Recently (no I haven't been dead) I've been reading a book I borrowed from the local library about candlestick charting, have been slowly learning some of the different candles (haven't yet got up to the multi candle patterns), some of them really are great indicators of changes in trend, I noticed that they were amazingly good when you look at forex long term (eg. on a monthly chart), the charts I looked at, everytime there was a doji in an uptrend a breakdown followed. Sadly I don't know if I'm patient enough to trade monthly!
