Product Description
Product Description
Candlestick charts, although originating in Japan, now play an important role in technical analysis worldwide. Now, for the first time in English, this book presents the next stage of candlestick analysis - Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. Sometimes called Cloud Charts, this analysis adds moving averages to candlestick charts. But moving averages a little different from those traditionally used in the West. For trending markets, Cloud Charts add an essential tool for analysing near-term areas of support and resistance. This book covers the history of candlestick charts - explaining the context in which they developed. And then moves on to explain how in the 1930s a journalist, with the pseudonym Ichimoku Sanjin, started refining candlestick analysis by adding a series of moving averages. This book explains in detail how to construct Cloud Charts and how to interpret them. A chapter is devoted to the advanced analysis of Cloud charts, with an in-depth study of the Three Principles: Wave Principle, Price Target and Timespan Principle. This book is illustrated throughout with numerous examples of Cloud Chart analysis. Walk into any Japanese dealing room today and you will see that the most common charts being used are Ichimoku Kinko Clouds. This book presents the definitive explanation of these charts for the first time to a Western audience.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing at best,
By
This review is from: Ichimoku Charts: An Introduction to Ichimoku Kinko Clouds (Paperback)
I don't know if I've been trading the Ichimoku Method for as long as the author, but it's the system that I use every day and I bought the book hoping for definitive answers to the questions I have. However, the book failed miserably to treat this important methodology with any respect or depth of knowledge.
For example, there are 5 Kanji characters that make up the name "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo." At the very beginning of the book under the section entitled "Calligraphy" the author describes 4 of the five characters but then says of the 5th "The others are too complicated to go into." It's like saying "I don't know what the 5th character means and I can't be bothered to find out." And this was just the beginning. The entire book went downhill from there. It seems as if the author hoped to disguise her lack of knowledge by adding a great deal of trivia. The whole thing smacks of opportunism and I am annoyed that I spent the money buying this rubbish. The author recommends a couple of books namely: Beyond Candlesticks (Steve Nison) and Technical Analysis of the Stock Market (Edwards and McGee), If she actually read these books she'd know what a real contribution to Technical Analysis looks like. It's a pity she wasn't duly inspired. For the only English book of this important methodology, this is not a good start. I can only hope that someone will translate "Ichimoku Kinko Studies" (H. Sasaki)from the original Japanese into English.

Not even close,
By Mikkel (Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ichimoku Charts: An Introduction to Ichimoku Kinko Clouds (Paperback)
The author produces currency forecasts for a Japanese bank using Ichimoku charts. This should make her uniquely qualified to write the first English-language introduction to this intriguing methodology. However, the book just does not work. We don't get to know Ichimoku charts better than what we can find for free on the web - in fact there's a web site with a forum devoted to Ichimoku which has more interesting material. The book also contains an explanation of a Japanese way of analysing wave structures and counting. Both methodologies are introduced and explained to some degree, but there's very little if anything on how to actually trade using these tools. You're left with a "that's kinda nice ... now what?" feeling. Search the web and trading forums for information about Ichimoku and ideas for incorporating it into your trading. Two stars for the initiative though. Ichimoku is indeed fascinating stuff.

A disappointing book,
By
This review is from: Ichimoku Charts: An Introduction to Ichimoku Kinko Clouds (Paperback)
As the only English book on the subject of Ichimoku Kinko Clouds, (as far as I know), I guess it's worth reading this book. But I found it very disappointing and have found far better reference material on the subject on the web.
It was a confusing book, which would have benefited from better editing and proof-reading (there's a glaring basic error in the diagram on P115 which should have been picked up!). Although the book provides a lot of information, I didn't feel by the end of it that I actually knew anything that would help me use the Ichimoku clouds. Borrow a copy if you can, rather than buy it!
