Understanding scale with candlestick charts is definitely tricky. If you will allow it, imagine that the signals are equally true on each scale, and that the price action on each scale is also equally significant, at each respective scale. It is in this way that the price graph most directly shares attributes with fractal patterns. Just as a shoreline is chaotically jagged, but fails to smooth as you zoom out on a map (unlike, for instance, macroscopic smooth edges that are jagged and chaotic on a microscopic scale), price patterns and generalized behavior of price function operate under the same principles on all scales which is actually a very surprising and nontrivial point.
