About the Operator
As an individual investor, I fill my NISA (Japan's tax-advantaged investment account) allocation with mid-to-long-term holdings while day-trading Japanese individual stocks. I share daily observations and site updates on X (@minty_invests).
Why I Started This Site
Brokerage explainer pages and YouTube videos can be helpful, but I found surprisingly few learning sites that comprehensively cover all 99 chart patterns AND let you draw, quiz, and simulate them. In investing, there is a significant gap between "I feel I have learned the theory" and "I can actually identify patterns in real charts." I built the educational tool I wished existed to bridge that gap.
Site Purpose
Chart Master is a web application designed for learning and studying stock chart patterns. Through quizzes, drawing challenges, and trade simulators, you can interactively develop your chart analysis skills.
Main Features
- Structured learning content for 99 chart patterns (reversal, continuation, candlestick, harmonic, Elliott Wave)
- Drawing challenges to actually draw patterns on charts
- Quizzes (beginner, intermediate, advanced, comparison, indicator, trend) for knowledge retention
- Trade Simulator for virtual trading experience
- Chart analysis columns for major markets: Nikkei 225, S&P 500, WTI crude, gold, Nifty 50
- Glossary, cheat sheet, and pattern comparison tools
- Automatic progress tracking, achievement badges, streak management
Methodology & References
Chart pattern definitions primarily reference Thomas Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" and Steve Nison's "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques." Pattern statistics (target hit rates, average moves, failure rates) cite sources. Column articles compute technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku) using in-house scripts with publicly available data from Yahoo Finance.
