This review is from: Beyond Candlesticks: New Japanese Charting Techniques Revealed (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)

If you already own "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" by the same author, then this is going to be alot of review for you. Most of the book is just much of the same information contained in aforementioned. Unless you are seeking a heavy dose of more of the same, no need to purchase this one, stick to the first book, which should serve you well as a reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to his earlier book, April 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Candlesticks: New Japanese Charting Techniques Revealed (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)

The first part of this book covers some main parts his best selling classic book on candlestick back in the early 1990s with some new insights. The second part of the book explains some new charting techniques only then known in Japan. These techinques I found are quite adequate if used with candlesticks but nothing revolutionary as I have expected. Candlestick charting is still the fundamental tool used for trading.

Steve Nison goes through all of the major Candlestick patterns here. And, he shows you close calls as well. This is great, because the real world does not always have what is in the pretty picture in your book. Nison adds to the value by showing you how to use Candlesticks in conjunction with classic Western Technical analysis. If only he'd added a chapter on Elliott Wave Theory and Candlesticks (lots of reversal Candles at the end of waves). Buy this one instead of his first book if you are only buying one.
