You can build confidence in the trading Qui but it's gonna take a ton of "face time".

When I was learning to read charts, I made up my mind to do whatever it took to figure it out. I didn't consider myself astute until I hit 10,000 hours of face time with charts (no, that's not an exaggeration). And even then, I was still learning new things all the time.

What you need to do is spend as much time as you can in the MT4 simulator watching the waves unfold where you can control the speed of the progression...speed up, slow down, and even pause time while you're learning to label the waves. I can't emphasize enough how valuable that can be.

If you have to skip sleep at night, do it...no excuses. The standard question my wife asked me for years was "are you coming to bed tonight?"...LOL! I would stay up all night until 2 or 3 in the morning, go to bed for just a few hours sleep, go to work, get home in the evening and start all over again. I did that all week long and would catch up on my sleep on the weekends. Late at night when everyone was in bed was the only time I could get enough peace and quiet to be able to focus.

Also, you need to really dig into historical charts on multiple time frames to see how the wave counts played out. It takes lots of practice.

Because a task seems overwhelming, as humans we tend to try to look at the whole thing at once and try to absorb it in a short period of time. But the fact is that it's gonna take time to be able to look at a chart one morning and say "Holy crap, I see it now...it's right in front of me."

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
