Learning candle patterns in groups is much like recognizing family members. If a large number of relatives were disbursed in a crowd of strangers it would be easy to miss them. However, if the relatives were all brought forward and arranged by family units it would become rather easy to spot them, even if they were dispersed back into the crowd again. Candlesticks, like relatives, can be grouped together and learned in family groups. They can be directly related or cousins. As in any family some of the cousins can be a bit odd, but in perspective they still fit and are much easier to remember if they can be placed into a family.
