What is a Candlestick?
Long ago the Japanese created their version of technical analysis to operate. Steve Nison discovered this secret technique of the Japanese to read graphics, thanks to a Japanese broker friend. Steve researched, studied, lived, breathed and ate candlestick!
He started writing about them little by little until popularized in the early 90's. Without Steve Nison, Candlestick charts would remain a secret today.
