If you want to venture into the stock market, it is really important to understand all aspects of it. You want to know what the investors are doing, you want to understand what day traders are doing to. You need to know the advantages and disadvantages to all means of analysis and how people using these means of analysis will be responding to the market. You want to know what they expect to happen and how they use past data for this and how these various means of analysis, say of day trader, compare to those who are looking at the intrinsic value of a company for investing purposes and how this plays into say how they are undervalued or overvalued and how this effects the volume of trading etc. As such, all I'm saying, get the book!

Learning candle stick patterns is not like falling off a log for me. But, I intend on memorizing the patterns as soon as they sink in. I believe candle stick patterens combined with technical analysis gives a leg up on trading. When I look at charts, I try to dig back into the book to identify what I'm looking at. I try not to shoot from the hip!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good primer, but errors make it dangerous.
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2015

I've had this for over a year now and find it to be a generally good introduction to candlesticks. The problem is the short cuts taken in the writing/editing process. Many candlestick patterns come in pairs - a bullish version and a corresponding bearish version. It's obvious that the writer took a cut/paste/edit approach to this, rather than writing about each pattern individually. Unfortunately there are several instances where he forgot to edit. As a result the uninitiated are given the exact opposite of the correct perspective. At best this will result in confusion. At worst - significant trading losses.

I bought this book to get to know how the forex market works and I can honestly say this book is my go to book, it is very interesting and it tell you everything that you need to know about forex, they explain it in simple terms and is easy to understand it seems a thick book but once I got reading through it I was half way through it before I knew it and I started to know different strategies of trading and different elements this book is perfect for anybody wanting to try the forex markets but please bare in mind that this book is not a million pound money maker the forex markets are a volatile market and it goes up and down and you can make and loose money on the same breath but this book lets you understand how the markets change
