Candlesticks? Then Nison
Nison? Ah! Candlesticks. He is the man who literally brought them to the Western audience. UNCLE is absolutely correct. Which one of the 2? I have not read the 2nd one yet (2nd in chronological order, the more recent), but I was highly recommended to read both, read the 1st and I am happy I did, I do not have details with me now, if you cannot find out whihc one is the 1st, which one the 2nd, bring this to the top, and I will find this out for you. I cannot find enough ways/words to recommend Nison's books to everyone who is interested in trading.
Incidentally, you may have noticed I refer to probably no more than 15 candlesticks patterns all together in my articles. This is partly because of my "style" (I try to be educative, and, one way of being so, is to remain consistent and stick to a digestible syllabus), partly because I deem these are the ones you really need to spot, partly because these are the most frequent, and, last but not th eleast, because these are the ones I spot more easily.
It is amazing how much insight you can get from this limited number.
