Candlestick charts are said to have been developed in the 18th century by legendary Japanese rice trader Homma Munehisa. The charts gave Homma and others an overview of open, high, low, and close market prices over a certain period. This style of charting is very popular due to the level of ease in reading and understanding the graphs. Since the 17th century, there has been a lot of effort to relate chart patterns to the all data points instead of one. The Japanese rice traders also found that the resulting charts would provide a fairly reliable tool to predict future demand.  The method was picked up by Charles Dow around 1900 and remains in common use by today's traders of financial instruments. - Wikipedia
