A candle is four prices. The name of a pattern comes after those numbers, not before them.

What a plate is for

Every chart in a lesson is a plate drawn for that lesson. The marks show the reading in the text. A plate is an illustration of past prices. It is a teaching figure, and it is not an instruction to buy or sell a stock.

The dashed box is a range you draw around the bars that stay inside it. The fifth bar closes outside the box.
