Best Candlestick Book so far 23 Aug 2003

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

I had already bought Greg Morris' book on candles but I was much more impressed by Bigalow's work.

The author focuses on the basic but key areas of reversal and continuation patterns analysing each candlestick pattern in detail and providing graphical examples. He also illustrates how candlestick signals can be combined with indicators such as stochastics and Elliot wave theory. This helps the reader to become more confident in initiating a trade. The book also touches on the most important area of trading: investor psychology and also how candles can be used for systems based trading.

An added bonus is that unlike most hardbacks, this book is a good enough size to fit in your ruck sack and can be easily read on the train.

I would definitely recommend this book - no qualms at all. Easy to read and understand with plenty of graphical examples.

Candlestick patterns can be easy! 12 Aug 2007

By ladyjames

Format:Hardcover

Having read all of Nison's books I thought I didn't have much more to learn on candlestick patterns but Bigalow proved me wrong. Although his approach is very faithful to Nison, his descriptions of the patterns are a tad more accessible and sometime complete. My problem being that most traders I have tried to get involved in candlestick reading thought that Nison was " dry" , I was happy to discover Bigalow's book.
I genuinely believe that you can pretend to be able to read a chart if you don't know how to use candlesticks. Bigalow shows you the way easily. This book is definitely a must for technical traders and can be used to any markets- indices, FX, stocks etc.

Excellent Explanation of the Candles 30 Oct 2009

By Mr C.

Format:Hardcover

If you want to understand candles then this is the book to read. The author explains all of the major candle signs plus many of less well known ones which are more tricky to interpret. The author is also very big in combining candle signs with stochastics to help confirm the signals. After reading this book I started to trade more successfully in the short term, but I often found myself selling out of a position that went on to greater highs in the longer term. Nevertheless, all traders should read this book.

An extensively long shadow on a Dragonfly Doji at the bottom of a trend is very bullish. &quote;

Set stochastics to 14, 5, 5. Or 12, 3, 3 for the swing trader, with two-to-five-day holds. &quote;

Highlighted by 7 Kindle users

Closing prices have a tendency to close near the higher end of a daily trading range as an uptrend gains strength. Conversely, closing prices close near the lower end of a daily trading range as a decline picks up strength. &quote;
