Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, Second Edition by Steve Nison

Recommended Posts

This book is the follow up to the review I posted here:

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f8/candlestick-course-steve-nison-1560.html

 

I would suggest this book (Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, Second Edition) if you are interested in expanding your candlestick knowledge and want to learn more about the theories and explanations behind what the candles may be telling you. This book feels much more like a textbook; whereas the review listed above is more of a workbook feel.

 

In this book, Nison talks about daytrading (which is nice if you are a daytrader) and his view of convergence. Again, this book takes the workbook to the next level and he really dives into specifics. This is ideal for the trader that wants more and wants to understand why certain patterns are respected as often as they are.

 

If serious about trading candlesticks, I would highly recommend this book!

I thought I knew all I needed to know about candlesticks but then I read this book and realised there's a lot more to candlesticks than hammers and dojis. Well worth the read, especially for swing and position traders.

I couldn't have said it better notouch. Candles are very powerful when you understand fully how to use them and use them properly. Simply looking for shapes that you found on a free website won't cut it. ;)

 

Good luck and welcome to the world of candles!

Worst book about trading that I have seen so far, but that's only because I believe that candlesticks are completely arbitrary. If you do like them, the book at least "looks nice" with it's big letters and charts.

Thanks for the useless commentary.

 

It's true people - if you think candlestick analysis is 'arbitrary' - then guess what? A BOOK DEDICATED TO TRADING CANDLESTICKS MAY NOT BE YOUR CUP OF TEA...

 

Unbelievable...

 

:bang head:

 

Why bother spending money if you don't believe the methodology can work? That makes absolutely no sense ... you think candlestick analysis is no good, yet you spend the money to purchase a book on how to trade with candlesticks? Anyone else see the irony here?

 

:roll eyes:

 

As you can tell from my screen name, I am a Cleveland Browns fan. I bleed orange and brown through and through. Guess what? I don't think I would be impressed with a book, DVD, etc. about the NY Giants. Or the Dallas Cowboys. Would I ever spend a penny on these other teams? NO. Would it be a surprise if I did a review on the book or dvd was not impressed? NOPE. Why? I don't know... maybe b/c I have a slight bias?

 

:hmmmm:

How would one compare Nison's book with Bigalow's "High Profit Candlestick Patterns"? I like the latter very much, but I haven't read the former.

 

Hi Jessechan,

I have Nison's book as well as greg morris's book. What made u feel that bigelow's book was good? What did u garner from it? Thank you.

I just got the first edition of Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques. Do you think they changed the second edition a good amount or would you say the first edition is still relevant and worth the read?

 

Has it had a significant positive effect on your trading?

Hi,

 

Although the books do not teach you how to trade Japanese Candlestick patterns nor should they be used as such, they are an excellent reference (dictionary) of Japanese Candlestick patterns to help you with proper identification of candlestick patterns.

 

Thus, they had a positive effect on my trading because I was able to properly identify candlestick patterns regardless if the pattern was reliable or not. Simply, I no longer get the names of the candlestick patterns mixed up. Therefore, they are worth the read for those new to Japanese Candlestick patterns that do not want to make mistakes like calling a pattern an engulfing when in reality it is not engulfing.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
