Candlestick Charts: The 400 Year Old Japanese Market Charting

It's hard to believe that a 400 year old way of tracking a commodities market is still one of the most popular and efficient ways of graphing the Forex market today, but that's exactly the case with candlestick charts. The Japanese were the first to use technical analysis, and the story goes that candlestick charts were an invention of a Japanese man named Homma.

There was trading in commodities in Japan, specifically in the rice market starting in the 1600s. In the 1700s Homma discovered that while supply and demand was a basic truth, he noticed there was also a direct link between the prices in the markets and the general emotions of the traders involved.

Homma realized that he could benefit from understanding their emotions to help predict the future prices. He was one of the first to understand that there could be a vast difference between value and price of rice - that perceptions could be used to take advantage and make a profit!

A candlestick chart is so called because prices are measured with a bar and two lines on each side, making it look like a candle. The color determines whether the price rose or fell during the predetermined amount of time. The line on top of the bar measures the absolute highest price achieved outside of the open to close range during the day, while the bottom line is the absolute lowest price outside of the open to close range.

There are four prices that are tracked for each measured amount of time during a trading period. Depending on the chart the bar could represent a week, a day, four hours, one hour, 15 minutes, 5 minutes, or something else, so pay attention to the time frame. The four prices in each candlestick are the high, low, open, and close. The high is the absolute highest value the currency achieved during the entire period while the low is the lowest value. Open is still open, and close is close. Just that easy.

The color of the bar will depend on whether the currency ended up higher than the open or lower than the open at the end of the measured session. Often there will be green for gain and red for loss, or white and black, but the two colors really don't matter, as long as you understand what each one represents. Why are candlestick charts great to use?
1. You can see the open, close, high, and low all in one glance
2. You can access a lot of information easily and quickly at a glance
3. Trends are very easy to spot at a glance once you're used to these charts

This kind of chart offers you an incredible amount of information and makes finding and locating potential patterns and trends far easier than any other type of graph or method. This will be a major tool for analyzing currency pairs, so it's one you will want to become familiar and comfortable with to add in your Forex arsenal.

A descriptive grammar of early Old Japanese prose $155 The oldest written stage of the Japanese language forms the subject of John Bentley's important volume. The underlying texts (also presented here) are those of the religious liturgies (norito) and imperial edicts (A.D. 685).

Japanese Whispers $11.19 After the fallout both psychologically and physically of Pornography, it looked unlikely that anyone would hear from the Cure ever again. Surprisingly, from 1982-1983 Robert Smith and (now keyboardist) Lol Tolhurst put out some of the catchiest singles of their career. "Let's Go to Bed," "The Walk," and "The Lovecats" were not only singles that got the Cure radio play and made them a household name, but more importantly marked the next phase in the music of the Cure, which would reach its peak with albums like Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Dropping the stripped-down darkness of Faith and Pornography, the songs on Japanese Whispers (the aforementioned singles from that era, including all the B-sides) are light, dancy, and at times jazzy. Adding new keyboard sounds, old-timey percussion, standup bass, and some damn silly lyrics rejuvenated Robert Smith and sent him on a course that would cement his role as one of the most interesting musicians to emerge from the '80s underground. Japanese Whispers is one of those rare releases when a singles collection works just as well as a standard-issue album. ~ Chris True, Rovi Performers: Robert Smith - Guitar, Vocals

Japanese for Travellers $6.49 Can you be a stranger in your own country? A Japanese-American raised in California, 24-year-old Katie Kitamura returns to Japan to discover the country she left behind. Travelling across this foreign landscape, she visits middle-class gambling halls, fight stadiums and giant shopping meccas, luxury care homes and cramped apartments housing four generations under a single roof. And she wonders in which version of modern Japan she might have belonged. Defined by its adventurous youth culture, but with the fastest-ageing population in the world, renowned for its strict social code, but producing the black-comedy violence of the Battle Royale films, the Japan she discovers is an often contradictory land of Godzilla toys and war memorials, of futuristic manga characters and brightly coloured vending machines.

Unable to relate to his extroverted classmates, he sent a letter and soon got a response from Miyage, a friendly Japanese girl hungering for human contact. Unable to communicate in their native tongues, the two exchange letters in English, forging an intimate bond on the written page. Eventually, Snehamoy and Miyage agree to marriage, exchanging gifts through the mail as symbols of their union since they can't afford to meet for an actual ceremony. Years later, Snehamoy is teaching arithmetic in West Bengal when a young widow named Sandhya and her eight year old son Poltu come to stay with him while Sandhya attempts to find a new husband. Meanwhile, Snehamoy discovers the joys of parenthood while acting as a surrogate father to Poltu, and finds out what it's like to share a home with a spouse as Sandhya starts helping out around with the housework. But when Miyage falls ill, Snehamoy takes a leave from work in a desperate attempt to find a doctor who can save her. Later, Snehamoy falls ill with pneumonia, drifting into a delirious fever dream about his far-away wife as Sandhya dutifully cares for her ailing host. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
