Customer Reviews

Good addition to his earlier book
The first part of this book covers some main parts his best selling classic book on candlestick back in the early 1990s with some new insights. The second part of the book explains some new charting techniques only then known in Japan. These techinques I found are quite adequate if used with candlesticks but nothing revolutionary as I have expected. Candlestick charting is still the fundamental tool used for trading.

A definitive work for those interested in using candlesticks
I can't put this one down. It is a great book that goes into great detail to explain candlesticks and how they represent market forces and trends. If you are doing any day trading at all, to ignore candlesticks is to leave money on the table. I highly recommend this book to all day traders. The charts are fantastic and there are a million illustrations that help you understand how the candlesticks work. Just a great book.
