Technicals for forex

After a recent visit to the closesst B&N bookstore, I realized that most technical analysis books are geared toward stock or commodities (like Steve Nison's Candlestick bible). It's hard to find info that is forex specific... any ideas? It seems that there some important differences...

We can analyze price charts with the same TA principles. As long as you use regular bar charts or candlestick charts, the TA principles are all the same for forex, stocks and commodities (remember, forex/currencies are also a major commodity).

Not quite, the principles are the same, but there are serious differences.
For one, the stock market gaps much more often than the forex, which results in different candle patterns

A good basic understanding of the market can be found on babypips.com or get the book Forex For Dummies.
