From my experience, candlestick trading is certainly profitable if you know what you're doing and enter/exit your trade correctly. I cannot speak for all traders, but personally, I am consistently profitable with my candle stick trading strategy. Of course, there will be times when trades don't work out and you end up losing money, but over the long-term candlestick trading can definitely be profitable. The key to being a successful candlestick trader is to have a solid strategy that you understand fully and stick to it Trading requires discipline and if you can remain disciplined then you can be successful in the markets.
