What are candlestick patterns? Candlestick patterns are a form of technical analysis and charting used in the shares, currencies (FX pairs), index, treasury and commodity markets. Learn how they can be used in all time frames, from those looking for long term investments to those who use swing trading or day trading. The power of candlesticks (also called Japanese candle stick charts) is that they can help to identify market turning points, and when used properly can potentially decrease market risk exposure.
