This document discusses using candlestick charts for stock market prediction. It begins with an introduction to how computers can now process large amounts of stock data using data mining techniques. It then provides background on candlestick formations and some common patterns. The methodology section outlines the process of collecting historical stock data on open, high, low, and close prices to generate candlestick charts. These charts can be analyzed for patterns to predict future stock price movements. Related work discusses how candlestick patterns have been shown to outperform methods based only on price changes. The conclusion is that this candlestick chart approach may enable more accurate short-term stock price forecasts compared to other methods.
