Let Me Ask You Something.
Have you ever pulled up a chart, seen a textbook candlestick setup like a perfect hammer at support or a clean engulfing bar off a level — taken the trade with total confidence...
...and watched it immediately reverse and stop you out?
You didn’t do anything wrong. And it's not bad luck.
A peer-reviewed academic study tracked over 19,000 traders. 97% of those who persisted for more than 300 days lost money. Not because they couldn't read patterns — but because they were reading patterns without context.
There's a name for it: Pattern Blindness.
It's what happens when you trade the shape of the candle without understanding what's actually happening behind it. And in 2026, it's more dangerous than ever — because the algorithms have learned to exploit it.
Every "perfect" breakout that traps you. Every stop-hunt that takes you out right before the move. That's not random. That's institutional order flow using your patterns against you.
But there is a fix.
And it comes from a man most traders have never heard of.
Who Is Dave Forster?
For the past 20 years, Dave Forster has been quietly trading a framework he learned directly from Steve Nison, the man who brought candlestick charting from Japan to the Western world.
While most traders were memorizing patterns from a textbook, Forster was studying under the original master — learning not just what the candles look like, but why they form and what the institutions are doing when they appear.
He calls it the "Context-First" framework.
And it's the reason he's been able to navigate every market cycle for two decades — including the one we're in right now.
On Thursday, May 7th at 8:00 PM ET, Forster is revealing this framework publicly for the first time — alongside Dave Aquino, Lead Analyst at Base Camp Trading.
During This FREE Live Training, You'll Discover:
- Why Your Best Setups Keep Failing The specific reason textbook candlestick patterns that worked for years are now being used as traps by institutional algorithms. This alone could save you thousands.
- The "Context-First" Framework Forster's method for reading what's happening behind the candle — so you can tell the difference between a real setup and a trap before you click buy.
- A Real Trade Breakdown We'll dissect a recent trade where retail traders got slaughtered on a "perfect" pattern, and show you exactly what Forster saw that they didn't.
- The June 4th Flood On June 4th, the SEC's elimination of the Pattern Day Trader rule takes effect. Millions of undercapitalized traders will enter the market for the first time. What that means for you — and how to position yourself before it happens.
- Dave Forster's Free "Pattern Blindness" Checklist Stay to the end and claim Dave's personal Pre-Trade Checklist. It forces you to check context before every trade. Not for sale. Live attendees only.
