3 out of 5 stars A Good Book, BUT...   May 11, 2008
PVB (New York, NY USA)

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. Showing more charts on how these patterns react at these critical junctures under various conditions would have been more helpful.

Candlestick patterns IMPLY a change of trend, they DO NOT guarantee it. They are just another indicator reflecting the bullish or bearish implications they represent. A trader must take into account where within the OVERALL TECHNICAL PICTURE the pattern appears and the health of the market. By blending candlestick patterns with Western technical analysis you are getting the best of both worlds.

Strong trends do not turn on a dime. They may require several candlestick signals before changing trend direction. By combining the current investor sentiment and potential behavior candlesticks imply you will, in most cases, be given an early VISUAL warning that all may or may not be right with the current trend.

Candlesticks should not be viewed in isolation. For example, a shooting star, a bearish pattern, appearing at the top of a long uptrend, and at a prior resistance area, strongly implies that a change of trend may be at hand. That same bearish pattern forming as a stock gaps out of a basing or consolidation area on high volume now implys a potentially bullish situation.

I believe those wanting to take full advantage of candlestick patterns would be better served by reading the books of Steve Nison or Stephen W. Bigelow. Both authors offer PRACTICAL TRADING ADVICE illustrated with many charts showing the strengths and pitfalls of these patterns.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent guide   April 14, 2008

A statistically thorough analysis of candlestick charts. Who would have thought that a good number of formations described in Japanese literature as reversal patterns actually have the opposite effect, while many others have outcomes which are close to random? There are also a few formations with success rates of over 80%. Thomas does an excellent job here of sorting the chaff from the wheat. Excellent research with some surprising findings.
