Trading with Candlesticks by Michael C. Thomsett

Product Details

About the Book

Candlestick charts represent one of the most valuable tools available to traders — but price levels and traditional technical indicators alone aren't always reliable. Traders who use charts to time their moves rely on strong, clear signals, and candlestick signs, moves, and patterns offer a solution: when integrated with other signals, they provide the strongest possible entry and exit timing, delivering both the signal and the means of confirming it. In Trading with Candlesticks, bestselling investment author Michael C. Thomsett completely demystifies candlesticks, using plain English and easy-to-understand visuals to show how they're constructed, how to decode them, and how to apply them in real trades.

Thomsett explains how each leading candlestick works and appears, and how to interpret them to discover emerging price moves and trend reversals, as well as confirmations of existing trends — presenting dozens of examples of candlestick signs, moves, and patterns in action, explained not in isolation but as part of broader, developing price trends on real stock charts. The book starts with the absolute basics before moving into more subtle moves and patterns, reveals how to combine candlesticks with other technical indicators for more reliable signals, and discusses failed signals directly, offering guidelines for identifying the likely success or failure of each pattern. Packed with visuals, definitions, and checklists, the book is designed for traders at all levels of experience, whether day traders, swing traders, speculators, or long-term investors.

Critical and Reader Reception

Jordan Goodman, author of Fast Profits in Hard Times, praised Thomsett for making the rather obscure strategy of candlestick-based technical trading as easy and accessible as possible, so that average investors can put the advice to use immediately. Reviewers have described Thomsett's writing as surprisingly friendly and approachable for a technical how-to book, with one Goodreads reviewer calling it an interesting, if occasionally repetitive, examination of candlestick patterns and their meaning, appreciating Thomsett's careful, honest emphasis that no signal offers a guarantee.
