Having outlined the key patterns and described the real-life application of the techniques, he then ends the book with his 10 golden rules for trading with candlesticks.This book is a no-nonsense guide to the methodology and practical usage of this ancient Japanese charting technique and essential reading for any trader, broker or market operative, regardless of their level of experience or the markets they are involved in.PrefaceForeword by Adam Sorab, Chairman, Society of Technical Analysts (STA) and Director, International Federation of Technical Analysis Societies (IFTA)Introduction1.
