How to read a candlestick chart
A candlestick chart is a type of financial chart that displays the price movement of a given asset within a given time frame. The candlestick chart is believed to have been created by Munehisa Homma, a Japanese rice trader who used candlesticks to represent the prices of rice. It was adopted and introduced to the Western world by Steve Nison, through his book Japanese Candlestick Charting Technique.
