Japanese candlestick charting is a centuries old trading methodology that has been used in the Far East for over 400 hundred years. The methodology was used in the early 1700s at the Dojima Rice Exchange in Osaka, Japan for the trading of rice futures coupons.

The principles of the methodology were formalized by Japanese businessman Munehisa Homma. Mr. Humma kept detailed historical price records and observations of trader psychology. Mr. Homma was reputed to have accumulated a considerable fortune.

Candlestick charting was introduced to the West by Steve Nison, with the publication of his book Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques in 1991. Since then, candlestick charting has become a widely accepted and profitable investment tool. Most serious stock market charts have incorporated candlestick charts as an option.
