The best strategy -Candlestick

[Peter Brandley]

Compared to traditional bar charts, many traders consider candlestick charts more visually appealing and easier to interpret.

Each candlestick provides an easy-to-decipher picture of price action. Immediately a trader can see compare the relationship between the open and close as well as the high and low.

The relationship between the open and close is considered vital information and forms the essence of candlesticks.

White candlesticks, where the close is greater than the open, indicate buying pressure.

Black candlesticks, where the close is less than the open, indicate selling pressure.
