What Formations Do You Like the Best?

Just curious what a lot of you hardcore candlestick guys find yourself entering the market on most of the time? Personally I tend not to use so many true "candlestick patterns" like the dark cloud, spinning whatever, etc. as I am just using single bars candles like hammers/pinbars. They are probably my favorite setup which I use at prior S/R.

 

What about you all? Whats your favorite setup?

If I'm using a larger timeframe, always been a fan of hammers to get long and inverted hammers to get short (or whatever you want to call them). I understand the psychology behind them.

Agreed - I think the psychology behind them is one of the biggest reasons I choose to use them. I love the logic behind them and being able to see the shift between buyers and sellers and a lot of times seeing exactly where that war is being waged and who is winning.
