The Candlestick Course

In the 8 days since I received this book, I’ve read through it twice already and I plan to review it again before two weeks is done. The book provides a great understanding of the basics of candle charts, and identifying fundamental reversal patterns. The questions at the end of each chapter really help cement your understanding. The final chapters are really meant to test your ability to apply your learnings. The first time I read it, I just tried to soak up the basics. The second time, I highlighted key points that I missed or misunderstood. The third time, I plan to take some notes and flag important information for future reference.

If there is any one book to read about candlestick charting, THIS is that book. This excellently written book will take you step by step through the history, meaning, and significance of candlestick formations. You will be a much better trader after studying Steve Nison's, "The Candlestick Course". And, where else can you get such vital, easy-to-learn lessons than from the man who brought Japanese candlestick charts to the west? After reading the book, which contains handy quizzes at the end of each section, my ability to read candlestick charts took a quantum leap. I am able to identify precise entry and exit points in trends, and the burden of identifying tops and bottoms is greatly simplified thanks to this book. Whether you are a swing trader, day trader, or long stock buyer, you will benefit from "The Candlestick Course". The knowledge you'll gain will translate into more profitable trading.

I liked the book very much. I can use for reference in the future. Not necessarily want to memorize all the different candle formation. I am interested in identifying when a change is getting ready to occur in a particular stock. This books helps to identify an upward or downward change and also if this change will be sustained. This book is excellent in helping to identify all those candle fomations

I have studied Japanese candles implications from various sources over the past few years and finally decided to read a book by the master himself, Steve Nison. This book is relatively short and makes clear presentation of the basic patterns. The author is mentioning many times throughout this book that candle sticks patterns should be combined with more factors of technical analysis and that this book is only an introductory level to the topic. Funny thing though, by the time I was done with it I decided to not pursue this study any further. Examples shown in the book combined with my own personal experience with information I learnt in this book, showed me that reading candle stick patterns is a secondary technical skill useful only as an auxiliary skill to other primary technical analysis techniques. For me, it cannot play a major role in making trade decisions and therefore I see no reason to spend more time on it beyond studying this book. The irony is that this effect is contrary to what is meant by this book and as implied by references to more resources by the author for further studies. I'm glad for having read this book and glad for selecting this book for this study. It is short, clear and did a good job of having me disillusioned with the weight of candle sticks analysis.

Book arrived in expected condition.

I already had Nison's Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, but it sat on my shelf. When I picked up The Candlestick Course, I realized I had found the book to begin with. I now am learning from both books. Nison does a GREAT job. Unfortunately, about half-way through the book, a number of the printed pages are blurred -- double vision reading. Not good - can't read those pages without great struggle and difficulty - kinda takes away from the learning. I guess that's not Nison's fault -- more of a John Wiley & Sons, Inc. printing issue . For the money spent on a book, it's a fair expectation that the entire book be readable. I would highly recommend this book (fully legible, of course).

Delivered on time!

good textbook I like it

Its good but the Qualiti from the eBook isnt the best

Many of my basic doubts about candle formation cleared after reading this book. Author explained very well the effect of market forces in Candle Formation and quiz at the end of each chapter improves readers analyzing capacity and authors answers to quiz throws more light into the specific topic.
