Need advice from those who've read Nison

I was at the bookstore today and saw Steve Nison's The Candlestick Course, flipped through it, and was impressed. However, I was wondering if I should pick up his big book, Japanese Candlestick Charting instead.

I already have a little bit of a working knowledge of candlesticks, so my questions are:
1. Have Nison's books been beneficial to you and your trading?
2. Which book of his should I get?
3. Is the information contained in his books any more than what I could find on the Internet?

Thanks guys,
andersenws

I Purchased "beyond Candlesticks" By Steve Nison. I'm Not Sure If This Is The Same Book You Are Talking About But It Definitely Has Useful Information And Detailed Explanations About All Candles And Candle Combinations. It Has Helped Me Look At Candles Differently And Has Improved My Demo Training.

Definitely A Good Read!! Lots Of Pips To All!!!

i read few chapeters from teh japanese candlestick book by nison..I never finished it since the book was overdue


here's my thought on it. I think candlesticks is the best way to gauge prices. All the rules that you see with pinbars apply to the candlesticks. And I think if you apply these rules to your system, it would definitely help your trading

Thanks for the responses guys, I think I might buy one.

GET IT. Stab someone if you have to. its a really good book cuz it not only tells you candle patterns but also the patterns meaning and what could be happening

I would advocate the Candlestick Course .

In the other book you can read about candlestics. In the Course you work with them, get inside of them, make predictions on price using them. The text as you might have seen is like no other. It is interactive.

As an educator, I think it makes you learn about candlesticks, not just telling you about them. " I hear and forget, I see and remember, I do and understand".. should be every teacher's proverb. That is the basis of the Candlestick Course.

1) Yes.

2) I have Japanese Candlestick charting Techniques

3) His book not only has pattern recognition but also combines other western indicators for some interesting reading. Definitely recommend you get it.

(Confessions of a Candlestick junkie)
I have the 3 books:
Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques
Beyond Candlesticks
The Candlestick Course

If I had to choose only 1 I would go with "The Candlestick Course". It is in a tutorial format w/ tests at each chapter. It is actually done very well.

I also purchased the DVD's on E-Bay.
Profiting With Japanese Candlestick Charts
Secrets To Becoming A Samurai Trader

Profiting is a Video ver of the 1st book (IMHO) pretty good for the visual learner
Samurai is very good and I recommend it as the next step.up.

Get Beyond Candlesticks. if you don't you will loose in your trades. Because the Japanese candles is the only known leading indicator. You will need this knowledge in order to catch the beginning and ending of the trends.

I keep going back to The Candlestick Course over and over. It takes you from knowing nothing to intermediate level, a great starter. You can proberbly get all the stuff free off the web but in a book it is structured with a start, middle & finish.

Its a good investment

"Beyond" beyond a doubt.
You can probably get and compile ALL the information in this book from the Web But it would take you a month of Labour and a whole bunch of printer ink not to mention the paper to print it on and would end up not as well organized.

Does $100.00 bucks or so sound cheap now?:
