Fundamentals matter, but prices also move as investors’ perceptions of those fundamentals change. Fear and greed influence those perceptions, and candlestick charts provide a visual display of the resulting bullish and bearish sentiment. Candlestick Charting brings Japanese candlestick patterns, technical indicators, stock screening, and signal systems together to help you understand the psychology behind market reversals. Follow your stocks, recognize patterns, and use technicals to study the buying and selling pressure behind them. READ THE CHART • Detect more than 70 candlestick patterns and candle shapes. • Explore stocks, ETFs, commodities, and forex. • Combine patterns with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, volume, Intraday Intensity, Stochastics, RSI, ADX, Parabolic SAR, and other technical indicators. • Choose Red/Green or Black/White candles, highlight patterns, and expand charts for a closer look. • Use chart-header shortcuts for research, notes, and signal history. FIND AND FOLLOW SETUPS Screen for bullish and bearish patterns, trends, momentum, and breakouts. Combine named preset choices for price, volume, trend strength, and other independent categories; each choice explains its criteria. Follow stocks and receive signal notifications. Compare named systems, read their rules, and examine their historical trades, statistics, and equity curves. NEW: EXPERIMENTAL S&P 500 PAPER PORTFOLIO Not sure where to start?

Verdict

The call

Candlestick Charting and CryptoGraph both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CryptoGraph's written reviews are positive against 64% of Candlestick Charting's. CryptoGraph also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.2). Candlestick Charting's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (271 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
