Product Description
Unlock the secrets of an ancient charting tool
The most ancient form of charting, the Japanese candlestick method has become an extremely popular analytical tool among the new generation of traders. However, because of the aura of mysticism surrounding candlesticks and the arcane terminology typically used to describe them, many traders in the West never really learn how to use them properly and exploit their full potential. Profitable Candlestick Trading demystifies candlesticks for today′s traders. With the help of numerous real–world examples, Bigalow clearly explains how candlesticks work, how to read them, and how to maximize profits with them. Bigalow shares some of his original candlestick–based trading programs, the same programs which have yielded impressive results for his clients at leading financial firms in the United States and abroad.

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.

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.

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.
