Answer 5

Their effectiveness on charts on a wide spectrum of markets: Futures, bonds, currencies and equities, and any chart in which sessions include a high, low, open, and close can display candlesticks.

Apply to any time frame. Individual and institutional investors utilize them on weekly charts, swing and intermediate-term term traders study them on daily charts, and short-term and day traders examine them on intraday charts.

Candles give instant pictures of market psychology. Early Japanese traders placed great faith in interpreting the emotions of market participants.

In today’s volatile markets, driven to extremes by the impact of sudden news and events, it’s easy to see why awareness of market sentiment and collective opinion is so important.

Unlike bar charts, in which opinion is not so easily spotted, one glance at a candle chart tells you instantly how people feel about a stock or market. A candle’s extended real body demonstrates definite bullish or bearish control. Conversely, a small real body indicates indecision or a tug-of-war between the bulls and bears with no apparent winner.
