The ability to "read" candlestick charts is the most valuable skill for any person trading on the stock exchange or on the Forex currency market. Based on the shape of a single candle, the moment of its occurrence and the combination it forms with neighboring elements, it is possible to predict further market movements with a high probability, identify trend reversal points, find confirmations for the signals of other indicators, and therefore make deals exactly when it is needed, avoiding errors. And there is no magic in this - only centuries-old observations of the psychology of traders.

Here is an updated edition of his classic book, addressed to both beginners in trading and professionals.
