Why Have Candlestick Charting Techniques Captured The Attention Of Traders And Investors Around The World?

I have had calls and faxs from around the world requesting more information about candlestick techniques. Why the extensive interest? There are many reasons and a few are:

1. Candlestick charts are flexible. Users run the spectrum from first-time chartists to seasoned professionals. This is because candlestick charts can be used alone or in combination with other technical analysis techniques. A significant advantage attributed to candlestick charting techniques is that these techniques can be used in addition to, not instead of, other technical tools. I am not trying to convince veteran technicians that this system is superior to whatever else they may be using. That is not my claim. My claim is that candlestick charting techniques provide an extra dimension of analysis.

2. Candlestick charting techniques are for the most part unused in the United States. Yet, this technical approach enjoys a centuries-old tradition in the Far East, a tradition which has evolved from centuries of trial and error.

3. Then there are the picturesque terms used to describe the patterns. Would the expression "hanging-man line" spark your interest? This is only one example of how Japanese terminology gives candlesticks a flavor all their own and, once you get a taste, you will not be able to do without them.

4. The Japanese probably know all the Western methods of technical analysis, yet we know almost nothing about theirs. Now it is our turn to benefit from their knowledge. The Japanese use a combination of candlestick charting techniques along with Western technical tools. Why shouldn't we do the same?

5. The primary reason for the widespread attention aroused by candlestick charts is that using them instead of, or in addition to, bar charts is a win-win situation.

This is very significant since it means that any of the technical analysis used with bar charting (such as moving averages, trendlines, Elliott Wave, retracements, and so on) can be employed with candlestick charts. But, and this is the key point, candlestick charts can send signals not avail- . able from bar charts. In addition, there are some patterns that may allow you to get the jump on those who use traditional Western charting techniques. By employing candlestick charting instead of bar charting you have the ability to use all the same analyses as you would with bar charting. But candlestick charts provide a unique avenue of analysis not available anywhere else.

How I Learned About Candelstick Charts

"Why," I have often asked myself, "has a system which has been around so long almost completely unknown in the West?" Were the Japanese trying to keep it secret? Was it the lack of information in the United States? I don't know the answer, but it has taken years of research to fit all the pieces together. I was fortunate in several ways.
Perhaps my perseverance and serendipity were the unique combination needed that others did not have. In 1987, I became acquainted with a Japanese broker. One day, while I was with her in her office, she was looking at one of her Japanese stock chart books (Japanese chart books are in candlestick form). She exclaimed, "look, a window." I asked what she was talking about. She told me a window was the same as a gap in Western technicals. She went on to explain that while Western technicians use the expression "filling in the gap" the Japanese would say "closing the window." She then used other expresions like, "doji" and "dark-cloud cover." I was hooked. I spent the next few years exploring, researching, and analyzing anything I could about candlestick charts.

It was not easy. There are scant English publications on the subject. My initial education was with the help of a Japanese broker and through drawing and analyzing candlestick charts on my own. Then, thanks to the Market Technicians Association (MTA) library, I came across a booklet published by the Nippon Technical Analysts Association called Analysis of Stock Price in Japan. It was a Japanese booklet which had been translated into English. Unfortunately, there were just ten pages on interpreting candlestick charts. Nonetheless, I finally had some English candlestick material. A few months later, I borrowed a book that has had a major influence on my professional life. The MTA office manager, Shelley Lebeck, brought a book entitled The Japanese Chart of Charts by Seiki Shimizu and translated by Greg Nicholson (published by the Tokyo Futures Trading Publishing Co.) back from Japan. It contains about 70 pages on candlestick charts and is written in English. Reading it was like finding an oasis in a desert. As I discovered, while the book yielded a harvest of information, it took some effort and time to get comfortable with its concepts. They were all so new. I also had to become comfortable with the Japanese terminology. The writing style was sometimes obscure. Part of this might have resulted from the translation. The book was originally written in Japanese about 25 years ago for a Japanese audience. I also found out, when I had my own material translated, that it is dreadfully difficult to translate such a specialized subject from Japanese to English. Nonetheless, I had some written reference material. This book became my "Rosetta Stone." I carried the book with me for months, reading and rereading, taking copious notes, applying the candlestick methods to the scores of my hand-drawn candlestick charts. I chewed and grinded away at the new ideas and terminology. I was fortunate in another sense. I had the help Introduction 3 of the author, Seiki Shimizu, to answer my many questions. Although Mr. Shimizu does not speak English, the translator of the book, Greg Nicholson, graciously acted as our intermediary via fax messages. The Japanese Chart of Charts provided the foundation for the rest of my investigation into candlesticks. Without that book, this book would not have been possible. In order to continually develop my abilities in candlestick charting techniques, I sought out Japanese candlestick practitioners who would have the time and inclination to speak with me about the subject. I met a Japanese trader, Morihiko Goto who had been using candlestick charts and who was willing to share his valuable time and insights. This was exciting enough! Then he told me that his family had been using candlestick charts for generations! We spent many hours discussing the history and the uses of candlestick charts. He was an invaluable storehouse of knowledge. I also had an extensive amount of Japanese candlestick literature translated. Obtaining the original Japanese candlestick information was one problem. Getting it translated was another. Based on one estimate there are probably fewer than 400 full-time Japanese-to-English translators in America (this includes part-time translators)11 had to find a translator who could not only translate routine material, but also the highly specialized subject of technical analysis. In this regard I was lucky to have the help of Languages Services Unlimited in New York. The director, Richard Solberg, provided indispensable help to this project. He was a rarity. He was an American fluent in Japanese who understood, and used, technical analysis. Not only did Richard do a wonderful job of translating, but he helped me hunt down and obtain Japanese candlestick literature. Thanks to his help I might have the largest collection of Japanese books on candlesticks in the country. Without Richard this book would have been much less extensive.
Before my introductory article on candlestick charts appeared in late 1989, there were few services offering candlestick charts in the United States. Now a plethora of services offer these charts. These include:
Bloomberg L.P. (New York, NY);
Commodity Trend Service Charts (North Palm Beach, FL); >
CompuTrac™ (New Orleans, LA);
CQG (Glenwood Springs, CO);
Ensign Software (Idaho Falls, ID);
FutureSource™ (Lombard, IL); and
Knight Ridder-Commodity Perspective (Chicago, IL).
By the time you read this book, there probably will be additional services providing candlestick charts. Their popularity grows stronger every day. The profusion of services offering the candlestick charts attests to both their popularity and their usefulness.

Google Caffeine Rush ???

What has been the effect of Google’s Caffeine update?

Google’s much anticipated new search indexing system update (Google Caffeine) has sparked a wildfire of comments on webmasters and SEO forums. Google claims that Caffeine allows them to increase the speed of its search results by 50%. They can achieve this near real-time result by not having to build up a queue of crawled websites waiting to be put into the live index but by adding every crawled page to the index instantaneously. It seems obvious that Google wants to get faster in indexing and presenting the content with Caffeine. They don’t want to be left behind considering the growth in real-time search and where Yahoo and Bing are going with their developments.

Although Google played down the significance of the Caffeine update on the search ranking algorithm, there are several things SEO experts should re-consider.

The page load speed became an important ranking factor since Google puts more emphasis on speed. Pages including ‘heavy-on-bandwidth’ elements will see a drop in rankings.

Brand engagement in social media and blogging has never been more important than it is now. Caffeine means that Google can display the high quality, fresh and engaging content within minutes of being published.

Across the whole range of Pod1 ecommerce design clients, we noticed only slight changes in the rankings where blog sections became more prominent in Google results. We are also seeing more traffic coming to some of the bigger brands websites from the ‘Related Searches’ links at the bottom of Google results page. This would confirm one of many Caffeine theories that Google is favoring the “authority web sites” even more than before.

Inilah Cara Mudah Mengembalikan Akun Facebook Yang Di Hack !!!

Kena hack? menurut saya, kebanyakan orang yang hack facebook kita adalah orang yang deket sama kita, misalkan temen(iseng), mantan, atau siapalah yang iri sama kita, saya pernah diminta teman saya untuk mengembalikan account facebook yang terkena hack. Saya sempat bingung bagaimana me restore password account facebook tersebut, tapi akhirnya saya berhasil mengambil alih account facebook tersebut kembali dari orang yang nge-hack. Caranya adalah:

1. Forgot password account facebook anda, buka halaman ini http://www.facebook.com/reset.php , setelah terbuka linknya, anda masukkan email anda di halaman forgot password, kemudian cek inbox email anda, , maka satu email akan masuk dari facebook ke email anda, itu bisa digunakan untuk merestrore account facebook anda, jika cara ini tidak berhasil dan anda tidak menerima email dari facebook, berarti facebook anda sudah diganti data emailnya. Jika sudah demikian, gunakan cara ke-2.

2. Submit sebuah form permohonan untuk facebook agar mereset email dan password account anda. Jika anda masih bisa login ke email anda, coba buka halaman ini http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=account_hack . Namun jika email anda juga diganti passwordnya, dan anda juga sudah tidak bisa login ke email, buka halaman ini http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=hack_login_changed . Setelah terbuka halamannnya, isikan data yang diminta, kemudian submit dan tinggal menuggu respon dari facebook(biasanya memerlukan waktu yang lebih lama, bisa sampai 2 hari).

Dengan kedua cara tersebut saya berhasil mengembalikan account facebook teman saya yang terkena hack.

jadi di coba aja ya,,

oh iya,, setelah FB nya di dapat lagi sama kamu, jangan lupa ganti password facebook kamu ya,

atau cara lain :

Langsung saja cara mendapatkan kembali password facebook yang di hack orang.

Dalam hal ini yang saya ambil ialah dengan cara mendapatkan password email terlebih dahulu sebagai contoh http://fb-facebook.com/cara-membuat-email-gratis/email yahoo.com (kalo yahoo),klo gmail ya masuk ke gmail. hehehe

1. Menuju ke login email yahoo di alamat www.mail.yahoo.com

2. Klik tulisan I can’t access my account | Help

3. Setelah itu anda akan disuguhi pertanyaan seperti ini :

What’s the problem you are experiencing?

I forgot my password

My password doesn’t work

I forgot my Yahoo! ID

My account may have been compromised

Maka pilihlah yang paling atas I Forgot my passwod lalu klik Next

4. Setelah itu anda akan disuguhi 2 kotak form. pada bagian 1 disebelah tulisan My Yahoo! ID is “tulislah alamat email yang digunakan untuk login facebook”.

Pada form bawahnya adalah security kode, tulislah sesuai yang tertera disana.

Jika sudah tekan Next lalu akan ada pertanyaan inti salah satunya yaitu pertanyaan pada saat anda mendaftar email tersebut. ingat kan ? :D

Seperti pertanyaan “Siapa nama depan pamanmu ?” isilah sesuai yang anda tuliskan waktu itu. setelah itu tekan Next dan Reset your password. maka anda akan mendapatkan password baru di email anda.

Lalu bagaimana caranya mendapatkan password facebook yang sudah diganti ? caranya :

login facebook, gunakan bantuan /klik tulisan Lupa kata sandi Anda?

lalu isikan form security code dan email anda dibawahnya. maka password baru akan dikirim ke email anda.

Apa Itu Bitcoin ?

Siang sobat, tentunya sudah tidak asing lagi dengan yang namanya Bitcoin kan? tapi pasti banyak juga yang tidak mengetahui nya, sebelum saya memberikan tutorial Bagaimana Cara Menghasilkan Uang Dari Bitcoin akan saya jelaskan dulu pengertian bitcoin itu sendiri, sebab akhir-akhir ini banyak situs tempat menambang btc yang tadinya membayar menjadi Probable Scam berkemungkinan scam diantaranya yang saya curigai adalah www.bitchest.me dan CoinBox.me, jadi saya tidak mau kalo nantinya sampai memberikan sesuatu yang sia-sia kepada sobat.. Bahasa Kerennya biarlah saya yang menjadi korbannya dulu.. :). Lanjut ke pokok pembahasan,Bitcoin adalah sebuah uang elektronik yang dibuat pada tahun 2009 oleh Satoshi Nakamoto, Nama tersebut juga dikaitkan dengan perangkat lunak sumber terbuka yang dia rancang, dan juga menggunakan jaringan peer-ke-peer yang menghubungkan semuanya.
Keunikannya adalah tidak seperti mata uang pada umumnya, bitcoin tidak tergantung dengan mempercayai penerbit utama. Bitcoin menggunakan sebuah database yang didistribusikan dan menyebar ke node-node dari sebuah jaringan P2P ke jurnal transaksi, dan menggunakan kriptografi untuk menyediakan fungsi-fungsi keamanan dasar, seperti memastikan bahwa bitcoin-bitcoin hanya dapat dihabiskan oleh orang mempunyainya, dan tidak pernah boleh dilakukan lebih dari satu kali. Selain hal itu, desain dari Bitcoin memperbolehkan untuk kepemilikan tanpa identitas alias anonymous dan pemindahan kekayaan.

Bitcoin - bitcoin dapat disimpan di komputer pribadi dalam sebuah format file wallet atau di simpan oleh sebuah servis wallet pihak ketiga, dan terlepas dari semua itu Bitcoin - bitcoin dapat di kirim lewat internet kepada siapapun yang mempunyai sebuah alamat Bitcoin yang biasa disebut Wallet Address. Topologi peer-to-peer bitcoin dan kurangnya administrasi tunggal membuatnya tidak mungkin untuk otoritas, pemerintahan apapun, untuk memanipulasi nilai dari bitcoin - bitcoin atau menyebabkan inflasi dengan memproduksi lebih banyak bitcoin. Bitcoin adalah salah satu dari implementasi pertama dari yang disebut cryptocurrency, pertama kali dideskripsikan oleh Wei Dai pada tahun 1998 dalam milis cypherpunks. (source: wikipedia).
