Familiar from price charts, the candlestick
packs four numbers into one mark: a thick
body from open to close and a thin wick from
low to high. Color shows whether the period
rose or fell. The form comes from Japan’s
markets. Steve Nison, who introduced it to
Western traders in 1991, later dated its origin:
“Although they are shrouded in mystery, the
candles probably started in the early part of
the Meiji period (from 1868)” (Steve Nison,
Beyond Candlesticks
, 1994, p. 18).
