Reading Candlestick Charts Explained


Candlestick Charts


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!
