Product Description

Review

Quote from the first edition of Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques"It's hard to be too effusive about the quality of Nison's work. This is clearly one of the best investment books ever written."Bruce Babcock, Jr., Editor-in-Chief, Commodity Traders Consumers Report

Product Description

A form of technical analysis, Japanese candlestick charts are a versatile tool that can be fused with any other technical tool, and will help improve any technician's market analysis.  They can be used for speculation and hedging, for futures, equities or anywhere technical analysis is applied. Seasoned technicians will discover how joining Japanese candlesticks with other technical tools can create a powerful synergy of techniques; amateurs will find out how effective candlestick charts are as a stand-alone charting method. In easy-to-understand language, this title delivers to the reader the author's years of study, research and practical experience in this increasingly popular and dynamic approach to market analysis.  The comprehensive coverage includes everything from the basics, with hundreds of examples showing how candlestick charting techniques can be used in almost any market.

Format:Hardcover
I have a few books on candlesticks. I bought others which were cheaper, even though many reviews pointed towards Nisons' work. ... so anyway, after buying many others, and looking all over the 'net for info. on Candlesticks, I ran into Nisons' book in a shop, looked through it and had to have it.

It has a LOT LOT LOT more depth than the others. There is more to candlesticks (or any price movement analysis) than just a bunch of patterns, names, formations ... the other books are far far too brief. I cannot emphasise this enough.

Look at all the other reviews for this book, many many good words said.

It is very readable, very clear, the examples are excellent, but most valuable are the insights for all the patterns ... that other books simply do not have.

Sure, it costs a bit more than the other candlestick books, but hey, how much money are you trading? Does an extra 30 or 50 bucks make that much difference for the extra insight you will gain?

This is not just the best ~Candlestick~ book, but it is a very very good TA book as well. Candlesticks are, after all, just a way of plotting price movements.

Note that, in searching the web for info. on TA and investing, this book came up time and time again as ~highly~ recommended. Now I pass that recommendation on.

Note also Nison has another book, "Beyond Candlesticks", and while I think that this is also a good book, get this one first and learn it all, the second book concentrates more on a few "Advanced" techniques, I don't know if they are so much advanced as they are just a few more techniques + brushing over what is in the first book. Get this first book, because it has more depth on the essentials that you need to know. Get the other book later, don't try and save money by jumping to the second one in the hope it will make the first obsolete, don't try and save money by getting a cheaper candlestick book, don't brush this stuff off thinking you've learnt all the candlestick stuff just by seeing a couple of patterns and names.

I also highly recommend Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets, this is recently updated and so incredibly good.

Beginner trader: will help you a lot, a very good investment, but also look to the book recommended above.

Intermediate: what are you doing? making a profit? get the book. Not making a profit? get the book, or get out of trading.

Advanced: why don't you have it? it should be on everyone's bookshelf, have you no pride? can't you afford it?

This is one of those trading books you cannot afford not to have. I don't give that rating to many other trading books.

Good luck!

Oh, and it is enjoyable to read.

Being a realatively new technical futures trader I was interested in Steve Nison's book on Japanese Candlesticks. Having purchased and read the book I can't say enough good things about it. In a clear and easy to understand style Mr. Nison explains the history, theory and ease of use of Candlesticks and their recognition. He also includes clear chart examples showing what to look for and how to interpret what you see. With book in hand I looked at my future's histories on my computer since my charting program will chart Candlesticks. I was gratified to find that time after time the patterns that Mr. Nison explains called the market moves. Today I'm waiting for a bearish confirmation of a Hanging Man in Hogs to enter my first Candelstick trade.

Worth reading 13 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
I purchased this book not knowing anything about candlestick charting and having read it feel more confident when reading candlestick charts. The book is very clear in laying out the candlestick patterns, with plenty of example charts. The only problem I found is that I was constantly flicking back and forth between the charts and the chart text, which was often a page ahead. I would recommend this book, but it's no bible, I wouldn't use candlestick patterns on their own when making trading decisions I'd use other indicators along with them. I must admit that all my charts are candlesticks now and feel the book was worth the money I paid.
