I prefer bars as well, it's a lot easier to see the horizontal progression since it reminds me of a chain of ladders that the price navigates around. The close of one is often very close to the start of another.
Looking forward to seeing more of your posts :)
thanks ! all my posts are aimed at beginners and people struggling to survive YouTube University, but hopefully some of it might be useful to more experienced traders as well.
I like bars a lot because they cleanly show expanding and contracting volatility, the highs and the lows. Most retail traders concentrate on the opens and closes because that's what they're taught, infact that's the topic of my next article.
I'll be doing an article shortly on candle patterns and gapping (which doesn't happen in forex or crypto but most candle patterns were designed to work around gaps). Decentralised 24hr markets don't have gaps, the close of one period is always the open of another...
