I think all traders need to read...

The book is big and has clear charts showing and explaining how to read each type of candlestick formation. It is also a book about technical analysis and how to merge Japanese candles sticks with Western technical analysis for more accurate chart reading. I think all traders need to read this book just to have a working knowledge of candlesticks. I have always preferred to use them on my charts for the visual power they bring to reading a chart. I highly recommend.

I simply love this book!

I have dozens of books on trading and several books on candlestick charting, but this is the candlestick book I return to over and over. However, the reason I like this book so much is not for the candlestick pattern explanations. Candlestick patterns are fairly simple and are explained very well in many books (including this one) as well as for free on the internet. This book excels because of the way candlestick patterns are integrated with technical analysis.

Finally - statistics!

The book is full of information. Great also to help you know which top 3-5 formations to look for in combination with each other. You can't trade just based off of Candlesticks alone, but it's a very good read and great to have in your trading library if you own one. Thank you

For students of Candlestick charting
