Random article: Candlestick Analysis
Forecasting the currency market by technical analysis consists of a variety of methods. One of them is the candlestick charts analysis. In this article we look at this kind of analysis. Directly the analysis of candlesticks and philosophy of this method was created in Japan in the XIII century. Its founder was a Japanese rice trader Homma Munehisa from Osaka. He traded on the rice stock exchange and tried to understand the psychology of buyers and sellers. Thanks to the timely warning heralds he received information about the slightest change in price, and thus quickly react to exchange events. This contributed to the fact that he was able to achieve unprecedented results - profit for one hundred consecutive transactions. In order for distinguished service Munehisa was awarded the title of samurai and received the right to be emperor adviser. His portrait can be seen on this picture.
Forex market has its driving forces. Such forces are participants of market. For clarity, it is accepted to divide them into several types: bulls, bears, pigs, rabbits, hogs, lambs. In this zoo, driving forces are exactly bulls and bears. Their clear intentions and determination can greatly influence currency rates. This terminology was adopted from stock market, where emotions play not the last role in movement of quotes, thus, analogy with animals and their typical behaviour provides a clear idea on psychology of market participant.
