Webinar originally presented on 11/16/11 Greg Morris' Japanese Candle Pattern Recognition Demonstration Take Japanese candle pattern analysis to a new level with this MetaStock add-on from the author of "Candlestick Charting Explained." Many traders have already discovered that Japanese candlesticks allow them to see data more comprehensively at just a glance, but they often ignore critical variables. Though many candlestick products exist, they don't offer detailed pattern recognition and filtering, and they don't use correct methodology (original Japanese). Greg Morris, Western candlestick pioneer and author of "Candlestick Charting Explained," has partnered with MetaStock to develop the Japanese Candle Pattern Recognition Add-on. This revolutionary addition to the MetaStock line offers accurate identification of REAL Japanese patterns by employing advanced filtering capabilities and Greg's extensive knowledge on the topic. Japanese Candle Pattern Recognition includes the following: 3 Indicators JCPR Candle Trend JCPR Support & Resistance JCPR Filtering Binary 4 Explorations and System Tests JCPR Reversal Patterns JCPR Reversal Patterns Confirmed JPCR Filtered Reversal Patterns JCPR Filtered Reversal Patterns Confirmed 1 Expert Advisor JCPR:Japanese Candle Pattern Recognition 2 Templates JCPR Clean Chart JCPR Filtering Indicators How Japanese Candle Pattern Recognition stands apart from the rest: True Japanese Candle Patterns All the patterns in the add-on (except 2 ...

The Tale of Genji (源氏物語Genji Monogatari?) is a classic work of Japanese literature attributed to the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu in the early eleventh century, around the peak of the Heian Period. It is sometimes called the world's first novel, the first modern novel, the first romance novel, or the first novel to still be considered a classic. This issue is a matter of debate. See Stature below. The first partial translation of Genji Monogatari into English was by Suematsu Kencho. A free translation of all but one chapter was produced by Arthur Waley. Edward Seidensticker made the first complete translation into English, using a more literal method than Waley. The most recent English translation, by Royall Tyler (2001), also tries to be faithful to the original text. Diet member Marutei Tsurunen has also made a translation in Finnish. Introduction The Genji, as the work is commonly called by aficionados, was written for the women of the aristocracy (the yokibito) and has many elements found in a modern novel: a central character and a very large number of major and minor characters, well-developed characterization of all the major players, a sequence of events happening over a period of time covering the central character's lifetime and beyond. The work does not make use of a plot; instead, much as in real life, events just happen and characters evolve simply by growing older. One remarkable feature of the Genji, and of Murasaki's skill, is its internal ...

Once again our oriental friends deliver us more than we could ever hope for in this crazy piece of advertising. I suspect it might be for a building company, but then again I might be wrong. (I knew I should have gone to japanese literature class...)

Evironmentalist David Suzuki has co-authored a book called "The Japan We Never Knew: A Journey of Discovery". Suzuki admits that until he went to Japan with his co-author, he held stereotypical views of the Japanese, particularly with regard to their poor record as protectors of the environment. Once in Japan, he realized there was as much diversity there as in Canada. (Originally aired January 1997)
