An excellent, very clear, introduction to Candlestick charts. By no means a completely uncritical book, it tries to demonstrate how each pattern can be used, and also which pattern may be the most useful at any one time. At the start of the book, the author refers to his first job on the 5th floor at James Capel. Now that takes me back, because I worked there as a fundamental analyst at the time, and encountered Candlesticks on many visits to Japan. But look how far technical analysis has come over the twenty years since then, with even such esoteric areas as Candlesticks becoming relatively mainstream, particularly for short term trading. I am sure this author's work will help them become even more accepted in the UK.
