Product Description
Unlock the secrets of an ancient charting tool
The most ancient form of charting, the Japanese candlestick method has become an extremely popular analytical tool among the new generation of traders. However, because of the aura of mysticism surrounding candlesticks and the arcane terminology typically used to describe them, many traders in the West never really learn how to use them properly and exploit their full potential. Profitable Candlestick Trading demystifies candlesticks for today's traders. With the help of numerous real-world examples, Bigalow clearly explains how candlesticks work, how to read them, and how to maximize profits with them. Bigalow shares some of his original candlestick-based trading programs, the same programs which have yielded impressive results for his clients at leading financial firms in the United States and abroad.

 Not the best November 16, 2008
I've read two intro texts to candlesticks. This one and Nison's first book.
The current book is not really bad, but Nison's book is much better. So in my view the choice is easy.
In the current book there are a lot of patterns listed with three or four candles and they seem very much adhoc, I don't really buy the underlying reasoning. Bulkowski has analysed these patterns in "Encyclopedia of candlesticks" and he finds that many of these patterns are very rare. Bulkowski put everything through his computer and found that some patterns occur maybe 100 times out of 100,000. To name and label such rare patterns is silly and borders on the dishonest. Especially since they are not that extraordinary the 100 times they occur.
 Too many typos create much confusion... September 3, 2008
Too many typos in this book. Book refers to bulls when it means bears making some sections a confusing mess. At this price the book should've been carefully proof-read before release.
 Profitable Candlestick Trading June 4, 2008
This is a great book for beginners and the more experienced alike. An excellent reference manual to have on the bookshelf. It's the sort of book you dip into for info and not the type you would read from cover to cover. Also, it explains matters in an easy to digest format. With so many books available on the subject, I think this book is a good investment.

I was doing poorly in the stock market. I read this book and I started to see success. Candlestick signals are a wonderful way to do technical analysis. I wish this book would have crossed my path sooner. Steve makes this book easy to understand and follow. Learn how and when to enter and exit stocks. Also learn how to manage you money for sucess.
 Great Information But....... August 17, 2007
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I'm very pleased with the information contained in the book. However, most of the information contained in the book can be found on the authors website for free. Just google Stephen Bigalow and check it out for yourself, lots of info in the forum at that site as well. I read some other reviews (at another site) that recommended his second book over this one as the basics can be found at his website (and several others) and you can get more into the theory in the other book. With that said I still recommend it and would say its a 5 star rating based on the information. I use it every night while doing my research for the next trading day. Anyway, just something to know. Seems most days you can find just about anything on the net if you look hard enough. May all your days be bullish kickers!
