Lighting a Candle in
the Darkness

charts

The Christian Bible tells that it is
better to light a candle than to curse
the darkness.
charts

Another great world culture, Japan,
gave us candlestick trading, a means
of providing light to those trading in
confused markets.
charts

Japanese candlesticks, the trading
kind, are rectangles superimposed
on an equity price chart.
charts

The top and bottom of the rectangle
tell us the opening and closing prices
of the day.
charts

When the market opens low and
closes higher the rectangle, called
the candle, is white.
charts

When the market closes down the
candle is black.
charts

The entire range of trading for the
day is demonstrated by lines
extending above and below the
candle.
charts

These are the shadows of the
candle.
charts

The point of using the old Japanese
candlestick method or modern but
similar technical trading methods is
that market price patterns repeat
themselves.
charts

There are any number of potentially
profitable day trading strategies in
which traders use future trading
charts based on candlesticks or
candlestick principles.

Keeping Track as
Well as Predicting
the Future
charts

There are two valid uses of future
trading charts.
charts

The first is to have a clear idea of
what you are doing when trading
futures.
charts

Traders keep abreast of
fundamentals that drive prices and of
market sentiment of the moment.
charts

Following prices without future
trading charts is trading in a vacuum.
charts

Following prices with future trading
charts is trading in context and
commonly more profitable and less
prone to error.
charts

The other valid reason to use future
trading charts is to audit one’s trading
results.
charts

Smart traders keep track of how they
do.
charts

This is not just a matter of reviewing
trades when losses occur. It has to
do with always seeking to improve
performance.
charts

Traders audit results and they audit
process. Results tell us if we
succeeded or failed.
charts

Auditing process helps traders
improve their game, make more
money on subsequent trades, and
learn ways to hedge trading risk and
limit both the frequency and amount
of losses.
charts

Facts, Not Attitude
Lead to Profits

charts

Often times a contrarian approach to
day trading futures is viewed as a
negative view of life in general.
charts

This is not really true.
charts

A smart trader uses future trading
charts to follow the market, assess
market sentiment, and compare what
he sees in price patterns to market
fundamentals.
charts

When market pricing does not jive
with what the fundamentals ought to
dictate, a smart trader often takes a
contrarian view of the current market
and places his or her trades
accordingly.
