Great Dummies book, 2010-02-17

Another good Dummies book, 2009-12-16
This book was an excellent source of the information I was looking for. I wanted to learn more than just the fundamental concepts of candlestick charting and the book exceeded my expectations. I was afraid the book would be overly technical and I would get lost in the jargon. Pleasantly, the book lived up to my previous "Dummies" experiences. I probably have somewhere around 15 titles of the Dummies books. It is a great way to scratch the surface on something and decide if it's worth heavily investing alot of time and more money in.

In this case, the book does much more than scratch the surface. I am only a couple of chapters into it, and I already "feel" like an expert on reading candelsticks and predicting price movements and patterns. The one thing I thought that stood out above and beyond for me is the ability to skip around to different chapters without being lost. It is not a cover to cover read. You can extract just what you need out of it and move on. And that is exactly what I am doing. I also really appreciate the real world applicability. You can literally take what you read with a computer in front of you and immediately apply it to test and gauge your level of understanding. Anyone interested in technical analysis and how candlestick charting relates should start here. Since I have not read other Candlestick books, I cannot compare how this ranks with others, but for me - wanting to learn Candlestick charting without spending tons of money and buying overly technical books, this was great.

Candlestick Charting for Dummies?, 2009-09-08
A dummy guide for candlestick charts, interesting... Next I will buy Nuclear Reators for Dummies so I can build myself my own reator..

Seriously now, good book but if you are relying on dummy guides for your stock investments may I recommend a savings account?

Terrific, 2009-04-11
This book is a must have for anyone wanting a clear explanation of the candlestick patterns and how to use them. It is illustrated with pictures and charts that clearly show the information being taught-- what to do when things go right and where to set your stops to protect your cash should the trade go wrong. This has the information you've been looking for!
