In this lecture
- Why every method needs entry and exit rules
- What a rejection candle shows
- What a momentum candle shows
- Using them at support and resistance for entries
- Rules, emotions and money management together
My own entry rule on the M5 chart: an engulfing candle whose body fully covers the previous candle's body, with at least two opposite candles before it. The more opposite bodies it covers, the better the setup, and a doji counts for both sides.
Dr. Qazi's own entry rule
No method is profitable if there are no rules of entry and exit. Follow the rules, control your emotions and have a money management plan.
From the lecture
A written plan you follow, and the patience to skip a trade when the setup is not there.

Lesson notes
Rejection candles
A rejection candle has a long wick into a level and a close away from it, like a pin bar. It shows that price tried to go through the level and was pushed back. At support, look for a long lower wick; at resistance, a long upper wick.
Momentum candles
A momentum candle has a large body and small wicks. It shows that one side took control. A momentum candle leaving a level, or breaking out of a range, shows strength in that direction.
Turning candles into rules
- Mark the level first (support, resistance, trendline).
- Wait for price to reach it. No level, no trade.
- Wait for a rejection or momentum candle to close.
- Enter after the close; stop loss beyond the wick or the level.
- Target the next level, with at least 1:1.5–1:2 reward to risk.
Write these rules down, follow them on every trade and size each trade with your money management plan.
Khulasa (Roman Urdu / Hindi)
- Level batata hai kahan, candle batati hai kab.
- Rejection candle: level par lambi wick, close level se door.
- Momentum candle: bari body, chhoti wicks, aik side ka zor.
- Candle close ke baad entry, SL wick ke peeche.
