What is candlestick charting?

Some candles simply reflect indecision among market participants. Patterns may be identified by a single candlestick or in some cases a series of specific candlesticks. Candlestick charting can be used on all time frames, whether you are using a 1-minute chart or a monthly chart to do your analysis.

What is a daily candlestick chart?

Many algorithms are based on the same price information shown in candlestick charts. Emotion often dictates trading, which can be read in candlestick charts. Just like a bar chart, a daily candlestick shows the market's open, high, low, and close prices for the day.

Are candlestick patterns a good indicator?

Candlesticks are great forward-looking indicators, but confirmation by subsequent candles is often essential to identifying a specific pattern and making a trade based on it. In particular, candlestick patterns frequently give off signals of indecision, alerting traders of a potential change in direction.
