Product Description:
Following in the footsteps of author Thomas Bulkowski’s bestselling Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns—and structured in the same way—this easy-to-read and -use resource takes an in-depth look at 103 candlestick formations, from identification guidelines and statistical analysis of their behavior to detailed trading tactics.

Rating: - A Good Book, BUT...
A good book for anyone having a desire to learn about candlestick patterns, but I feel the author misses the point. Too many wordy statistics and not enough visuals. Candlestick patterns visually show investor sentiment. This sentiment is especially important when prices approach critical points of support and resistance.
