Reading Candlestick Charts Explained

Candlestick charts were invented by the Japanese in the mid 1800’s.

Much of the credit for candle stick charting development goes to a fellow named Homma, a legendary rice trader from Sakata.

The first person to introduce Japanese candlesticks to the Western world was Steve Nison.

Steve Nison notes that candle stick development was likely a result from a collective effort developed over many years of trading.

The benefits of Candlestick analysis are many:

• easier to understand
• provide earlier indications of market and price turns
• furnish unique market insights
• enhance Western charting analysis
• will increase efficiency of your analysis
• are enjoyable to learn!

_______________________________________________________________

Candlestick formations and charts use the same open, high, low and close price data as the traditional Western bar chart.

As seen in the chart comparisons above, prices seem to jump off the page on the candle-stick chart. It pushes the flat, two dimensional bar chart into almost a three-dimensional aspect.

Candlesticks Trading Courses

There are two excellent Candlestick courses I recommend:

1. Candlesticks Mastery

2. Candle Charting Essentials & Beyond

______________________________________________________________

1. The first course is the Candlestick Mastery E-Course.

In my opinion, there's no better way to trade than using candlesticks.

Stock trader B.M. Davis has become well known for his expertise in candlestick trading the stock and forex markets.

And he took a year and committed himself to create what I think is an outstanding Candlesticks trading course.

This course is not only an in-depth study of candlestick charting but also a study of a candlestick system of trading.

It will teach you everything that B.M Davis does and use to make money in the stock market using his candlestick system.

You'll learn the basics up to advanced strategies all with illustrated examples and charts.

The course includes two E-Books and Ten Videos which will teach you:

• Proper Candlestick Chart Reading

• Candlestick Pattern Recognition

• How to Quickly Find Plenty of Candlestick Trades Each Day

• B.M. Davis’s Candlestick Trading System

• Conditions that Enhance Reversal Patterns and Signals

• How to tell which reversal signals are true and which ones are fake.

• How to Scan for Profitable Candlestick Patterns

This entire course is an incredible value.

If you are serious about learning Candlesticks and want to be a successful and profitable stock trader, I truly recommend you take this course.
