After the trade broke down I started to flip my position.

Also, lately I've been noticing those candle formations like the two that ran up to 21.70. A significant move almost always follows.

What do they mean exactly? Is it always a reversal signal depending on which candle comes first... which candle is larger?

It is a reversal candle formation but u need to see a 3rd candle for confirmation. Basically u have 2 candle with same high. Second candle started at same high but closed at lows,means no buyer there.
Then u have few doji, indecision candles as buyer/sellers wait for each others move.
Finally sellers won as soon the candle range broke down.
Don't go crazy on candle pattern for day trades. Stick to few basic formation.

Yeah, I try not to focus on the different candle patterns, but this formation has shook me out of many trades. I feel like it's my arch nemesis or something.

It also formed at the 21 level but in opposite order. Then it immediately reversed. I do like the setups they present though, I must say.
