5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless classic blending Japanese candles with Western concepts
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020

Useful and interesting teaching. This is one of his first texts. The concepts are timeless, so don’t let that discourage you. I find the discussions about Japanese history and word useage makes the teaching flow well. At the same time, trading application is sound. This text complements other technical analysis applications. In fact, Mr. Nison develops the concept of using multiple tools quite well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reference for any trader
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2000

Whether you are a short or long term trader, this book is a must have. Once you read this book, you will want to use no other charting method but candlesticks. More important than teaching very common chart patterns, you come away with a good understanding of what each type of candlestick is telling you about the psychology of the market you are studying. Although his clear illustrated examples use mostly futures, these methods definitely apply to equities as well. You will no longer fear shorting a stock when you can clearly see the "dark cloud cover" on strong volume. If you want to know more about technical charting and have money for only one book, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent well written book on charting
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2000
Verified Purchase
The most important reason to read this book is to learn candlestick charting. The next best reason is that this is a fine well written book for novices and experts alike. Nison gives clear explanations of the indicators important in candlestick charting, and then goes on to explain why the indicators are strong or weak. The result for me was that I learned some very concrete techniques while also gaining a deeper understanding of market behavior in general. In many areas the Japanese interpretation of chart events differ from the Western view, and this is most fascinating. I highly recommend this book for novices and beyond.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vety Good Candlestick Book
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
I have a few other books on Candlesticks and this one is one of the best. Mr. Nison not only explains the candlestick but puts it in context to explain it's true meaning. I would have liked it if he had given a few more examples with greater detail, because candlesticks are almost meaningless unless you put them in context. For example the candlestick---(Hammer) is fairly meaningless if is occur in a consolidation pattern. If it occurs during a correction of any kind, and especially a deep one, and if the tail of the hammer is 2 to 4 times the length of the previous candle, you should have paid attention because the odds are very, high that a trend reversal is about to take place. This level of detail is missing.
I must add that Mr. Steven Bigalows books are equal to Mr. Nison's but may be a bit pricey. I am not a member of Mr. Bigalow's web site, nor am connected with anything he does. I respect his work, especially what I see on YOUTUBE.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very technical book not an easy read but worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2013

If you are into technical analysis (I use it to time trades) Candlestick Charting is clearer to me than other formats. Steve Nison explains the meaning of various patterns well. I used it to get out of TSLA in time before Nov downturn.This book should be read quickly once and then slowly once again. I continue to use it often as a reference. Not an easy read.

I use this as part of my trading formula, it's not the whole package; but mastery of each element is essential. Great book, highly recommended. Steve Nison also came out with a trading seminar DVD, which is worth watching as well.
