Summary: Best candlestick book I've read
Comment: I've read Bigalow's first book and Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Candlesticks".
Steve's book is much better that these two books. Actually, you only need one book to learn the candles. It is hard to know how much knowledge an author really have when it comes to trading books. The really successful traders tend not to write at all. In any case, I get the impression reading the books that Steve has deeper knowledge than Bigalow. So that should make the choice between the two easy. The book by Bulkowski is not an introduction so I won't comment further on that book.
I have written several short reviews on trading books. The best way is to compare the score on the books I've read. Many reviews on amazon.com are just glorious 5 star reviews. I use all five categories; sorry but everything isn't "great". Books rated 5 are very good. Books rated 4 are good solid books well worth reading. Books rated 3 can be bought by some people who read a lot or have very specific needs. Books rated 1 or 2 I would not recommend buying or reading. Naturally all in my humble opinion.

Summary: Quite nice
Comment: A very good book. Tells about all the different candle signals....i think all of them. I stopped using candlestick charts cuz i of how i am trading now and i dont see any advantage with the candles. THey trick me too much. But if you are interested in candles you need to buy this book. And really, you can see all the same signs using bars if you pay attention. Great book!!

Summary: Satisfied with the book
Comment: Steve Nison is truely the father of Japanese Candlestick into the western. He explained why candles are made and how the candle can be a signal to get into a trade and when to get off. The convergence of East and West makes my trading more manageable and honestly, I have "profit"-ed after reading this book. Very highly recommended!
