Summary: Good book to learn about Candlestick Charting
Review: This book convinced me that candlestick charting is a must for short term traders. It does a great job of explaining how to use it. The book's main weakness is that it doesn't provide enough information on how to combine it with other technical analysis tools. If you try to trade stocks using just candlestick charts, you will often find yourself buying and selling stocks too early.

Summary: The best book on candlestick charting in the market
Review: Having read a number of books on candlestick charting I can tell you this book is the best of the lot. Nison was largely responsible for bringing Japanese charting techniques to the attention of Western traders. Using candlestick analysis in combination with Western technical indicators such as momentum or RSI can be very powerful. Technical analysis attempts to understand what the market is doing in order to make profitable trades in the market. Candlesticks offer clear pictorial representations of market sentiment in a way that standard bar charts can never do.

Summary: The best guide to interpreting candlestick charts
Review: Last year a successful daytrader was interviewed on CNBC and this book was mentioned. I later learned from Mr. Nison that sales of his book immediately skyrocketed as a result. I'm only giving this book four stars as I don't believe this book in and of itself will make you a successful trader. Plus, there are numerous websites which offer the same information for free....This book, however, does explain the different patterns very thoroughly and makes for another tool to add to your arsenal.

Summary: The candlesick classic
Review: This book is an absolute must for any serious trader or investor. Steve Nison is known as the founding father of candlestick charting in the U.S.A. His book presents a simple yet effective instruction guide for learning candlestick charting techniques. Buy this book before investing a dime in the markets.

Summary: The best for Candlesticks - the BEST and I know
Review: 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.

Summary: Very readable
Review: This book is so easy to read and understand. The author takes each candlestick and explains it with many examples. He also incorporates other technical indicators into candlestick charting. This is a fascinating subject and it appears to be extremely accurate in predicting market tops and bottoms. This is the best-written book I've read yet on technical analysis.
