Candlestick Mastery · Module 12 of 15
The KIRA Confirmation Framework
Confirm before acting — a structured way to decide, so discipline replaces impulse.
Seven checks before any decision
Everything in this course comes together here, as a framework — a checklist you run before treating any pattern as meaningful. It is not a secret formula and it does not guarantee outcomes. It is a discipline that stops you acting on a shape in isolation.
- Pattern — Is there a recognisable candle or combination at all? Name it.
- Location — Is it at a meaningful support or resistance level? If not, stop here.
- Market structure — Does it align with the trend (HH/HL or LH/LL)? Fighting structure means far worse odds.
- Volume — Does participation support the move? A breakout needs volume; a rejection is stronger with it.
- Momentum — Does the body size and closing strength show real conviction, or a limp, wicky candle?
- Confirmation — Has the next candle, or a volume spike, actually confirmed the signal — or are you anticipating?
- Risk — Where is the invalidation point, and is the potential reward worth the risk? (Module 13.)
In short
Pattern → Location → Structure → Volume → Momentum → Confirmation → Risk. Run all seven, or do nothing.
