This document, “TRADING APPLICATIONS OF JAPANESE CANDLESTICK CHARTING” by Gary S. Wagner and Bradley L. Matheny, offers a comprehensive guide to Japanese candlestick charting, a technical analysis method for financial markets. The authors explain the historical origins of candlesticks in 17th-century Japanese rice trading and their evolution into a modern tool for analyzing equities and commodities. The book integrates Eastern candlestick techniques with Western technical indicators like Fibonacci retracement theory, Elliot Wave, and moving averages, emphasizing the importance of combining these approaches for a more complete market view. Furthermore, it explores the application of computerized pattern recognition and neural networks to enhance the efficacy of candlestick analysis, providing detailed examples across various markets like grains, energies, and currencies. Ultimately, the text advocates for a “Synergistic Technical Analysis” that leverages both Eastern and Western methodologies with advanced computing for improved trading decisions.
