All experienced forex traders certainly understand that one of the most widely used chart types is Japanese candlesticks.
This is more often chosen by traders because of its ease of reading. Trading with Ticktrader at FXOpen UK, I most often use this type of candlestick in technical analysis.
The importance of studying Japanese candlesticks can be used as predictive power to recognize reversal patterns, continuation trends, or indecision market

Reversal candlestick patterns such as the Engulfing Pattern or Hammer often appear in chart patterns to signal a possible reversal which is useful in determining entry points.
Trend continuation candlestick patterns such as the Three Line Strike or Rising/Falling Three Method are patterns that may carry trend continuation signals
Indecision Market candlestick patterns such as Doji or Spinning Top are indecision point candlestick patterns

Candlestick patterns are usually divided into three types to recognize possible reversal patterns, namely single, double, and triple.
For single candlesticks such as Doji, Spinning Top, hammer, and Shooting Star, each of which reflects market behavior patterns.
For Double candlesticks such as Bullish/Bearish Engulfing, Harami, Piercing Line
For triple candlesticks such as Morning Star, Evening Star, Three White Soldiers, and Three Black Crows.

Traders can also learn the complete description of the Japanese Candlestick Cheat Sheet on the FXOpen blog.

Compared to line and bar charts, candlestick price charts are more widely used by traders because of their ease in reading high, low, and close information which can be distinguished by the color of the candle body. The patterns that can be formed by market mechanisms may vary. It is important to understand the basics of how to read Japanese candlestick patterns.

Japanese candlesticks are very easy to read, the information available in one candlestick consists of Open, High, Low, and Close which is very useful for market analysis. In daily trading at FXOpen UK, I use Japanese candlesticks in the chart platform that I use. It feels uncomfortable when reading line charts and bar charts.

It is also very convenient and informative. After all, often when a trend reverses or during a correction, long shadows appear on the candles; this works especially well on higher timeframes. This can be used profitably in trading. The line graph doesn't show this.
