Traders,

Price charts come in many forms, and each boasts its advantages. Line charts are the simplest and can be analyzed by a preschooler. Bar charts up the ante by emphasizing each session’s open, close, and range. But it’s candlesticks that light the way for me.

They pack more information into each session than the alternatives, and they can be analyzed in a split second. Some technicians spend time memorizing the dozens of names of each unique formation. But it’s the message that ultimately matters, the implication.

What’s most powerful about candlesticks is that they condense an entire session’s contents into a concise message. It’s the cliff notes version of what happened, only portrayed in pictures.
