Utilizing Candlestick signals can help an investor develop a highly profitable commodity trading system. Japanese rice traders used the signals to develop the first commodity trading system. The Honshu family successfully traded the rice markets centuries ago.
Commodities are easier to trade than stocks using Candlestick signals. The reason is simple. There are fewer outside influences to affect commodity prices. A successful commodity trading system can be implemented through simple visual analysis.
The signals used in conjunction with simple confirming indicators such as stochastics produce a high probability commodity trading system. As illustrated in the July Wheat chart, when the price of Wheat was an oversold condition, a Bullish Harami illustrated the time to buy.
The trend of a commodity will usually remain steady in one direction until the stochastics indicate an extreme condition, either overbought or oversold. Applying Candlestick signals to the trend analysis in these extreme conditions makes for a very simple commodity trading system. The probabilities become highly in the favor of the Candlestick investor.
Note how July Wheat started its uptrend when the stochastics were in the oversold condition. A Bullish Harami/Spinning Top was the reversal signal at the bottom. July Wheat now is approaching the overbought area. The indecision, Spinning Tops and Doji’s, indicate less conviction to the upside. A Bearish Engulfing signal today should signify that the uptrend.

Once a commodity trend is identified, the trend will persist in much better identifiable moves than a stock price. The reason for this is that commodities usually have much fewer outside influences than a stock price. A commodity price usually moves based on supply and demand. A stock price will move based on changes in fundamental elements, the stock market direction in general, interest rate moves, or a multitude of other influences that can change investor sentiment.
Being able to identify strong reversal patterns using Candlestick signals is one of the best commodity trading platforms available. Commodities usually move based on supply and demand.

The dollar will usually act inversely to the British pound, the Eurodollar, and the Swiss franc.
Highly profitable commodity trading platforms can be developed when you have Candlestick signals illustrating definite reversals in trends. As illustrated in the July Corn contract, a Doji at the bottom followed by a gap-up, when stochastics were in the oversold condition, made for a high probability, profitable trade. Being able to identify the obvious reversal signals allows the Candlestick investor to take advantage of entering trades at the optimal prices.
