Rating: - It helps a lot with lingo, and shed a little light on what candles AREN'T.
I was very excited to start this book, thinking I would find a trading tool that matched my visual senses. However, I was disappointed to find that there really is no difference between candles and OHLC. It's true, that candles are a more visual representation of the same data. But, not any more useful.

Rating: - Wonderful book, especially if new to Japanese Candlesticks
This is a wonderful book for people who are new to Japanese canadlesticks. Its written in an easy to read format and in layman language.

Great book for Japanese candlestick newbies but ... Read More

Rating: - Well written, but not much to it...
I began reading this book with great enthusiasm. At the beginning of each chapter, Nison lays out the objectives and goals that you will learn, including key terms to watch for.

So as I was reading through the book, thinking "I really love the writing style of the author and am learning some valuable information," and before I knew it, the book was over. I was finished reading in 2 hours.

Nison only talks about the most popular candle lines/patterns, but he doesn't even go into ... Read More

Rating: - The Candlestick Course
I consider this THE companion book to Toni Turner's Beginner's Guide to . . . (fill in the blank, they all apply) If you want to or think you understand the candlesticks, but aren't sure, this is the book for you. Don't let this one slip by you.
