He kept watching. The “Bullish Engulfing” pattern was demonstrated by Shinchan performing his infamous “Action Kamen” pose—chest puffed, fists on hips, legs wide, ready to leap forward and conquer.
By the end of the week, he was a convert. The “Double Bottom” was Shinchan being scolded by his mother, then immediately doing the same thing again. The “Rising Wedge” was Shinchan trying to climb a wall to peek into the neighbor’s yard—tightening, straining, then collapsing.
Arjun hated his job. Not the trading part—that was fine. He hated the studying . For six months, he had been trying to force-feed himself Thomas Meyers’ The Technical Analysis Course . The PDF sat on his desktop like a digital brick: 347 pages of candlestick patterns, support-resistance levels, and moving average convergence divergence.
And every time he saw a “Hammer” pattern, he smiled, poured himself a glass of chocolate milk, and took the trade.
The video was dry. A monotone narrator droned about “head and shoulders patterns” over static charts. Arjun’s eyes glazed over. He was about to click away when the narrator said something odd:
A crude, hand-drawn animation popped up. It was Shinchan Nohara—the rude, mischievous five-year-old from the anime. Shinchan was standing with his legs wide, one arm drooping, his head tilted back in exaggerated despair. The caption read: “Hammer Pattern: Long lower wick, small body at the top. Shinchan’s ‘Denied Chocolate’ slump.”
“That’s a buy signal,” Arjun whispered.
He made more money in that week than in the previous month. His girlfriend found him at 2 AM, cross-legged on the floor, striking poses in his underwear.
“Now, to remember the ‘Hammer’ candlestick pattern, assume the pose of a young boy who has just been denied chocolate.”
He even framed a print of Shinchan doing the “Shooting Star” pose above his new home trading desk. Underneath, a plaque read: “False breakout. Get back up.”
Arjun snorted. It was absurd. But he couldn’t unsee it.
Every night, he’d read two pages, yawn, and end up watching cat videos.
