Renko Charts (Fixed-Size Brick Trading)

If you set a brick size to $2.00, a new brick only draws when the price moves a full $2.00 from the top or bottom of the previous brick.

The chart has three vertical axes: left (short cycle: 3-5 days), center (medium: 13-21 days), right (long: 55-89 days). If all three align in the upper third → strong uptrend.

Published in 1986 and translated into English by Gregory S. Nicholson, "The Japanese Chart of Charts" is rightfully called the "Japanese Bible of candlesticks". Before this book, the sophisticated candlestick techniques developed over centuries in Japan's rice markets were largely inaccessible to Western traders. Shimizu's book changed everything. It is the first guide to introduce candlestick charts to the West, providing a full discussion of chart patterns for longer-term analysis, complete with trading methods for each pattern.

The book has a reputation for being dense and highly complex. One reviewer, commenting on the 1988 U.S. release, noted that it was "the most complex book on the subject translated into English to date" and required multiple readings for the concepts to make complete sense. This depth is precisely what makes it a classic; it’s a resource for serious study, not casual reading.

Shimizu showcases Kagi charts as a premier tool for identifying key support and reversal levels. 4. Three-Line Break (Shinbansen)

The influence of "The Japanese Chart of Charts" on technical analysis cannot be overstated. Before any American author published on Japanese candlesticks, all material stemmed from this foundational text. It is the direct source for many of the pattern names and definitions that are now standard across trading platforms and educational materials worldwide. Shimizu's philosophy, beautifully encapsulated in his metaphor that "a chart is like a cat's whiskers"—a tool to sense and interpret market movement—has become a guiding principle for technical traders who believe in following price action above all else.
