I'm trying to understand how candles are used in trading. I know they represent a specific time frame and show the open, close, high, and low prices, but I'm curious about how traders interpret and use these candles to make decisions.
Additionally, the color of the body can be either red or green, typically representing a decrease or increase in price, respectively.

The body of the candlestick can vary in length, indicating the range between the opening and closing prices. A long body suggests significant price movement, while a short one indicates minimal movement.

Shadows, or wicks, extend from the body and represent the price points at which the stock traded before and after reaching the opening and closing prices. Their length can also vary, providing further insights into market sentiment.
