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? Explore a focused daily plan built around six selected bullish candlestick patterns in the S&P 500 universe. Four visual lanes show setups Waiting for confirmation, Today’s Buys, Holding, and Today’s Exits. Open a stock block to see its setup, confirmation and guard prices, rank, allocation, trade chart, and protection. Detail screens explain estimated dollar risk at the active stop and potential reward to a specified Bollinger middle-band reference. Paper purchases lock at 3:55 PM Eastern and are labeled PURCHASED when the model records an entry. Change the model’s start date and starting capital, explore realized results in Performance, browse the Signal Table, and review monthly and yearly profit/loss. Tap a recorded trade to inspect its full setup-to-exit cycle. Open-position gains and losses are shown separately on the Board. The illustrated How It Works guide explains pattern selection, ranking, volatility-based sizing, and exits. LEARN AS YOU EXPLORE The native Help guide includes candle diagrams, bullish and bearish pattern catalogs, practical indicator lessons, and further-reading links. Learn why patterns need trend context and confirmation, and how technical indicators can help you evaluate them. CHOOSE YOUR ACCESS Free: Limited portfolios, followed symbols, screens, and chart overlays. The S&P portfolio includes holdings, exits, Performance, and How It Works.

No daily digest, no marketing, nothing when there's nothing to report. WHAT'S INSIDE - Dashboard with the latest values at a glance - Every indicator explained in plain language — what it measures, why it moved - Charts back through five years, one tap - A watchlist for the indicators you care about - Two-pane layout on iPad - Light and dark mode WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM All figures originate from official public sources — the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) and the Czech National Bank (ČNB) — and are served unmodified.
