In Candlestick Charts An Introduction to Using Candlestick Charts, Clive Lambert aims to introduce candlestick analysis to anyone from an absolute beginner to an experienced market professional who has a working knowledge of charting. The language should be simple enough for a novice, but shouldn’t exclude those with more experience, as my aim is to change your viewing of a candlestick chart into a search for the answer to the perennial question “Who’s controlling the market: the bulls or the bears?” Ideally, you will have some knowledge of the markets, and even more ideally you will be a cynic about technical analysis, and this book will convert you.
Introduction:
While technical analysis approaches have developed significantly over the past few decades, some techniques are far more ancient. While their real origins are unknown, Japanese candlestick charts have been recorded as being employed in the rice markets as far back as the 1600s. What is particularly interesting is that many of these ancient approaches continue to provide highly effective trading signals when applied to modern markets and securities. For this reason, it’s no surprise perhaps that candlestick charting techniques are so extensively employed by the world’s most professional investors.
Clive Lambert is one of the UK’s leading experts in the use and application of Japanese candlestick chart analysis. I have known him for many years and have learnt to greatly respect his depth of knowledge and the objectiveness it brings to his market strategies. In this book, Clive has combined his love of the subject with his experience as a professional trader, to demystify candlestick charting and make it accessible and effective for the reader. His writing style is conversational and his explanations clear and practical.
As a result, the book is a refreshing departure from the dry and complex writing often associated with financial markets. With insight and clarity, the book unravels the psychology behind price patterns and provides a powerful collection of simple and effective methods to trade for profit and control risk.

Candlestick Charts: An Introduction to Using Candlestick Charts By Clive Lambert pdf

Informative.

Perfect for the novice, as an introduction to further study on the subject. It does get quite technical later in the book and would have benefited from a deeper explanation of some of the technical analysis methods, but very good nonetheless.
Bobby Thomas (verified owner) –
Very informative for the novice. Very well written and explained to the point that the author could’ve delved a little deeper without risking overwhelming the novice reader.

Great book to learn Candlestick analysis
Ryder Reeves (verified owner) –
Have used this method a bit, in conjunction with TA for ages, but this book helped to crystallise some ideas ,and make me think more about what’s really going on to move markets ,especially indices. Fairly basic for anyone who’s into candlestick theory in a big way already, but I don’t suppose they were the author’s target. Great primer.
Colten Martinez (verified owner) –
Excellent book explaining candlestick charts with a very useful summary of candles inside front cover.
Elizabeth McDonald (verified owner) –
Easy to understand and excellent approach by telling the reader what is going on of “behind” the candlestick pattern. Good book
Harper Butler (verified owner) –
the book is informative but it doesn’t explain things on a simple mans level. you would need a trading background to understand the information.
Calvin Lambert (verified owner) –
Not ALL single candlesticks described.
Patterns are sufficiently covered.
Combination of candlestick techniques and Western indicators could be more thorough.
Lana O’brien (verified owner) –
As it says, good for people who want to know basic on candlesticks. I would suggest to take the psychology from the patterns to your heart, then learn price action. (Al Brooks. Heavy shit, but the real deal). Should know basics first)
Erik Mueller (verified owner) –
Great book.. easy to read.
Imani Merritt (verified owner) –
For beginners who like to have an overview of candlesticks, and some of the more frequent patterns and their behaviour

This book is written in a unpretentious way, in simple common english, so that its easy to understand. its not written in some academic jargon kind.
its written by Clive Lambert of the british technical analysts society so he knows whats hes saying.
so once you understand the concepts you can apply them.
its for beginners, and also for pros who need a refresher or as reference. pros may find it too basic otherwise.
its quite a thin book so that its not intimidating. an easy read, makes candlesticks easier to learn rather than those thick books which you put off reading.
everything is in full colour, so thats rare for a candlestick book.
seems overpriced, but well its in colour, its worth it if you dont mind the price.
