If you are looking for beautiful charts and explanations of how to profit from Candlesticks this is not the book for you. However, if you are looking for how to back-test candlestick patterns programmatically or by any other commercial back testing tools, then this explains how do you go about it and explains step by step. I am programmer/part-time trader who had no clue how to backtest properly before reading this book. This book gave me enough information now to work on my own algorithms and tune my trading system better.

Candlestick and Pivot Point Trading Triggers + CD-ROM: Setups for Stock, Forex, and Futures Markets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am always looking for for a new angle in my day trading strategies. I do some technical analysis (TC2000) and do my program trading thru Tradestation. I like to run my ideas thru Tradestation to look for useful indicators and signals. I hadn't studied pivot points too much and felt this book would bring me "up to speed" on this subject. I ran many different variations of pivot points and support resistance levels. Although the book is clearly written and the author presents the material well, I didn't extract anything useful out of it.
Perhaps FOREX traders have better luck with pivot points than I did with the stock market. I saw no correlation in the stocks I trade in regards to pivot points, support, resistance, fibonacci levels, etc. After years of computer trading systems, I have concluded that the market is a random event and market psychology just can't be programmed.
[...]
I reread the book very thoroughly and figured out what the author was preaching. As a stock trader, his pivot point analysis and trading techniques are working very well. I was not applying his methods correctly the first time I read the book and now I get it... It is definitely increasing my successful trade probabilities. 5 STARS.. I am going to order his new DVD and see if I can refine the process even more.

In his first book, A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics, John Person introduced traders to the concept of integrating candlestick charting with pivot point analysis.

The Candlestick Course Review

The Candlestick Course
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Steve Nison, CMT, the author of two previous volumes on candlesticks, and an educator, trader, and seminar speaker, has written a basic workbook on the fundamentals of candlestick charting and how to interpret and use only the most significant patterns. I attended one of his Nison's candlestick workshops at an investor expo, as well as reviewed his video and found them to be excellent educational vehicles.
This book is for those individuals who like to read about certain candlestick characteristics, and then test themselves on their level of understanding. Each chapter begins with a bullet-pointed list of learning objectives and key terms to watch for. It then explains the concept, shows examples, provides highlighted key points, and then provides review questions, and detailed answers. In most all of the chapters, the review questions and answers take up more pages than the explanation of the candlestick pattern or the concept being taught. So, this is more of an instructional and teacher-student approach to the subject.
One chapter entitled "Progressive Charting" is about 50 pages long and contains a walk-through of an unfolding market scenario, a few candles at a time using 88 annotated charts. The purpose of this approach is to help the reader interpret each candle or pattern in a real market situation and learn from his/her experience.
The last chapter entitled "Bringing It Altogether" asks you 42 questions about candlestick charting and provides the detailed answers. This allows the reader to determine his/her level of understanding and areas for further study. The book contains a short "visual" glossary illustrating candlestick patterns.
For readers who are avid students and like to work through numerous exercises and examples of the basics of candlesticks, this book will serve their needs well. For other investors who want more "meat" and detailed information and explanation, then I would recommend Nison's "Beyond Candlesticks" instead.

If you already own "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" by the same author, then this is going to be alot of review for you. Most of the book is just much of the same information contained in aforementioned. Unless you are seeking a heavy dose of more of the same, no need to purchase this one, stick to the first book, which should serve you well as a reference.

Candlestick Charting Explained: Timeless Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures Review

Candlestick Charting Explained: Timeless Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures

I had already read this book and Steve Nison's Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques.
If you want to buy a book about candlestick both books have the same content about all the candlestick patterns and the descrition about them.
Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques:
- has chapters about the relationship of candlestick with Volume, Support and Resistence, trendlines, Indicators (MACD,IFR,etc). This is VERY GOOD. Realy good.
- It has many examples discussed too. More than this book.
This book has:
- a chapter about Trading with Candlesticks that has content about trendlines, supports, etc.
- a lot of statistics of the patterns.
One great difference is that this book is easier to use. It has a standardized format for all the patterns with Commentary, Rules, Psychology Behind the Pattern, Flexibility, Pattern Breakdown, Related Patterns, Examples. This is VERY GOOD. It's only search the pattern and read what you want to know. It has a table with a resume about the pattern too.
Steve Nison's book isn't objective and it is not hands-on. You are reading an example, but... where is the picture?? You have to turn the pages searching the picture and them back to the curretly page to keep going. To do that for more than 300 pages is very, VERY BAD. Really. Trust me. You need to have a lot of patience.
Well, if you read one of these books, don't worry: you will know all about candlesticks. But this book is easier to use and to consult.
And it is cheaper than Steve Nison's book.
Abrax!!!

Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, Second Edition Review

Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, Second Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a few books on candlesticks. I bought others which were cheaper, even though many reviews pointed towards Nisons' work. Note that in Australia, we are talking about $35 (other books) compared to $150 (Nison's book) ... 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.

great job - I thought it was an excellent approach for both a beginner and advanced trader who wants to get started in candlestick trading. As usual you cover many angles there is to know about trading which not only includes the candlestick patterns, psychology, and their little nuances( like tails in a consolidation ) but you also offer added knowledge on trading the markets as well. You give a great roadmap for trading trends by using trend lines, moving averages and swing points to denote support and resistance as well as giving great insight with some helpful filters such as market indicators, volume and the understanding of volatility that the markets go through (ie expansion and contraction). Lastly the section on the risk reward ratio is a topic that every trader needs to be reminded for continued success.

Trading Full Circle: The Complete Underground Trader System For Timing and Profiting in All Financial Markets Review

Trading Full Circle: The Complete Underground Trader System For Timing and Profiting in All Financial Markets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Despite years in the market I had never heard of the Underground Trader or Jea Yu before buying this book. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It is written by somebody that has clearly been in the trading trenches. Trading Full Circle is packed with information from cover to cover. You get the feeling that the author is not holding anything back. The book is mostly about day trading but the basic methodology can be applied to all time frames.
Although well written, it's not always an easy book to digest. Even with my experience I found that I had to read and reread some sections to understand what was going on. It would be tough read for beginners but the first two chapters (Starting with Failure and What is the "Edge") should be a must read for all traders. If you are a beginner and can get through the book and truly understand what Yu is saying, the book it will save you many headaches and many dollars.
The one criticism I would have is that Yu uses terminology early in the book that means nothing unless you are familiar with the terminology of his system. I kept hearing the term "Pup's". I finally had to stop my reading and study the section later in the book to understand what "Pup's" and some other terminology are. To Yu's credit, he does provide a Glossary in the back.
The general methodology of the UndergroundTrader System isn't unique but the way the methodology is used and the detail given in the book makes "Trading Full Circle" a top tier trading book. Also, don't miss the three Appendix sections in the back of the book. All are excellent. One is written by Suri Duddella, whom I've heard speak. He's one of the top experts in pattern trading.
"Trading Full Circle" is not cheap but clearly in this case, you get more than what you pay for.
