great job - I thought it was an excellent approach for both a beginner and advanced trader who wants to get started in candlestick trading. As usual you cover many angles there is to know about trading which not only includes the candlestick patterns, psychology, and their little nuances( like tails in a consolidation ) but you also offer added knowledge on trading the markets as well. You give a great roadmap for trading trends by using trend lines, moving averages and swing points to denote support and resistance as well as giving great insight with some helpful filters such as market indicators, volume and the understanding of volatility that the markets go through (ie expansion and contraction). Lastly the section on the risk reward ratio is a topic that every trader needs to be reminded for continued success.

This book was very well written. The other books I have read on Candlesticks have basically offered bland descriptions without establishing their relationship to trading. I really enjoyed the way it integrated candlesticks with the other important aspects of trading and showed their relationship to Trend, Volatility, Oscillators and Gaps. It not only gives descriptions of the most profitable candlesticks, it also shows how to use them in conjunction with moving averages, stochastics, divergence and other related trading concepts. This book is the best general trading overview that I have found. As a result of reading the book I feel I am finally beginning to "get it." I only read the book last week and I have already made money by incorporating what I learned into my trades. I have started my second read to reinforce the learning process.

I am planning to order more copies for my friends who need help with their trading.

Purchased this book ten days ago and have already read it cover to cover twice. Clearly written and organized, it contains all the information you need to understand important candlestick patterns -- and the market psychology that drives them. This was a terrific value for the money.

I have been educating myself in Trading for just over a year. I have bought waaaaay too many books on candlestick, technical analysis, trading psychology, systems, etc. I might still have bought some of those books but if I purchased this book first, I would have bought far less. The author ties candlestick to technical analysis in simple, understandable and realistic ways. Yes, this book might best for beginning or intermediate traders but I was refreshed on so many basic concepts it kind of bothered me that I had laid waste to them. The author did a great job on the charts--they are contemporary and readily understood. Nice job...so many other books and charts make you break out the magnifying glass just to find the obscure reversal. Good job, good book, good information.

The nice part about this book is the way it ties candlesticks to other technical measures for stock performance analysis and evaluation. It doesn't try to push candlesticks as the end-all, but explains how the candlestick approach relates to the whole tech analysis picture. A very good read and good companion to the "Candlesticks for Dummies" book on this same subject. Really good pair! Different approaches to explanation that support eachother.

Easy to read. This charting system is a must for my trading style since I am just above average when trading stocks and options. Public sentiment is extremely important when trading the market, and this info on candlestick charting is clear and concise as to what the public is thinking the previous day, week or month!

i have read a few books on candlestick charting and it seems to be the same thing over and over. this book however gives a little more than what you pay for = tina logan gives a good start for putting your trading with candlesticks in the right direction.

This book is an excellent overview of Candlestick Charting and how it relates to traditional chart analysis. I would say it is best for beginning or intermediate traders/investors but there is much here in the way of useful reminders for even the those more advanced. She manages to make a difficult subject manageable without over simplifying. What this book covers it covers comprehensively. Tina not only is an active trader herself but is also very involved in training and mentoring others to trade. Her practical experience shines thru in this book. Has greatly improved my trading.

This is the best presentation of basic candlestick understanding available. No frills, just easy to comprehend.

This book was very informative. It covered important candlestick reversal patterns and teh psychology behind them. It also related the use of these patterns with other techniacal indicators.
