The difference between a candlestick and line is the time element. Ancient societies used celestial bodies to measure time, ie, the moon, the sun, and other stars. You could also assume a society that fishes would most likely be on moon time, as the moon affects tides and currents. It is not too far a stretch of the imagination then to consider supply and demand was calculated by moon periods. If that is a reliable hypothesis, then it is one could assume the first candlesticks were created to visually display the supply and demand pricing of goods from moon to moon. Makes sense to me.
You cannot be extraordinary by being normal
