There are way too many places to start. I am not saying that you start with studying candlestick patterns, but to read about candlestick patterns and begin to understand terminology, I have found the following site to be simple and straightforward. The best method to use (I think) is stay up later than others in your household, select a term you are unsure of, enter that word or phrase in google and start a new folder of links. Always get several sources for one topic and compare what they have to say. Good luck
