I assume that you are trying to say: 1) none of the top wicks stopped price from going up.
2) the close lowers is what brought the price down.
Look at how much cleaner this is: - we turned 52 candlesticks into just 14 groups of closing prices.
- we reduced OHLC to just the C
- complexity was turned into simplicity.
- with less to consider, you are more sure about what to do.

I was pointing to the spike above and a close down.
While price was at a level deemed to be of interest.
See those in the middle?
Yeeeeet!!!
Got F'd.
Pic too big, to many "colors".One sec, I have a phone. LOL
It's a 5-minute chart. . .
if you "got F'd" then you need to trade smaller.
You enter the same way that you exit;
1) price above ranges
2) trail buy limit orders
1) price below ranges
2) trail sell limit orders
Instead of wicks, just use the closing prices of a smaller chart; like a 1 or 2 minute:
you only ever need more closes or fewer closes.
When it comes time to place a trade, we are just trading price levels; so where are your 'better' entries coming from? what do you think you've gained from candlesticks?
