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.


From the "Father of Candlesticks"—penetrating new Japanese techniques for forecasting and tracking market prices and improving market timing Steve Nison has done it again. The man who revolutionized technical analysis by introducing Japanese candlestick charting techniques to Western traders is back—this time with a quartet of powerful Japanese techniques never before published or used in the West.

Critical praise for Steve Nison’s first book … "… destined to become the classic reference on the subject.

Steve Nison’s new candlestick book is destined to become one of the truly great books for this time period.… Whether you trade futures, commodities, or equities, day trade or hold positions overnight, this book is a must

The first part of this book covers some main parts his best selling classic book on candlestick back in the early 1990s with some new insights. The second part of the book explains some new charting techniques only then known in Japan. These techinques I found are quite adequate if used with candlesticks but nothing revolutionary as I have expected. Candlestick charting is still the fundamental tool used for trading.

It is hard to be too effusive about the quality of Nison’s work … this is clearly one of the best investment books ever written in terms of covering a subject with pedagogical ability and writing skill. The organization is impeccable … reading this will a pleasure.
