Critical praise for Steve Nison's first book … "… destined to become the classic reference on the subject." —Charles Lebeau and David Lucas Technical Trader's Bulletin "I believe Steve Nison's new candlestick book is destined to become one of the truly great books for this time period.… Whether you trade futures, commodities, or equities, day trade or hold positions overnight, this book is a must." —Lee Siegfried Investor's Library, Data Broadcasting Corp.

Beyond Candlesticks Absolutely an excellent book. If you want to get a comprehensive knowledge of Candlesticks reading Beyond Candlesticks and Nison's first book about candlesticks, Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques are a must. Nison is an excellent teacher. | ||
Poorly written and edited I bought this book because candlesticks are my favorite bars and reviews here and elsewhere suggested 'Beyond Candlesticks' was better than Nison's first book. Since Nison is supposedly the "father of candlesticks", I assumed he would be the best source of information. However that is not the case. I just purchased Stephen Bigalow's candlestick book and find it a whole lot better and easier to read. Nison mentions his young children in Acknowledgements. I think they must have written and edited the book because it is so elememtary and repetitive. The spelling is terrible (Example: within a few pages we have Eastern Kodak showing an uptread on the dailey charts). Also the grammar is bad at times. It's obvious the author jotted notes in his word processor then flushed them out for all he was worth because there is little info here. There is a lot of musing and a good bit of Nison-hype. It is hard to pay attention to. Further, today's publishers don't care enough to put charts on the same page as the text and truly edit these financial books, so it's even harder to follow. Wiley Publishing is the worst. They likely did this one. | ||
Beyond Candlesticks The book is written in a clear, easy to follow style. The concepts, although not complex, have their nuances and these are dealt with in a way that doesn't confuse or overwhelm the reader. The exercises provided help to consolidate the knowledge gained by the reader. All in all, a very good and useful book. | ||
Highly recommended! The underlying principles on the formation of the patterns were well discussed. Simple to understand due to actual samples. | ||
How to get an edge! Candlesticks are the strongest picture of the internal mass psychology driving the market.
