About the book
In 1990, Steve Nison introduced traders in the West to a powerful analytical tool that had long given Japanese investors a competitive edge. Now, with this groundbreaking new book, the "Father of Candlesticks" further revolutionizes technical analysis with an entire collection of stunningly effective Japanese techniques. In Beyond Candlesticks, Steve Nison unveils the mysteries of four more of Japan's most closely guarded financial secrets - Kagi, Renko, Three-Line Break charts, and the disparity index - incredibly versatile techniques for forecasting and tracking market prices and buying and selling periods. Completely self-contained and requiring no prior experience with Japanese charting techniques, Beyond Candlesticks introduces Kagi, Renko, and Three-Line Break charts - powerful non-time series charting techniques never before seen in the West; explores the exotic twists and turns of the disparity index - a Japanese secret more exact and timely than its Western cousin, moving averages; takes you step by step through each charting technique with the help of nearly 200 illustrations, dozens of detailed real-world examples, and clear-cut guidelines on how to use them in your day-to-day trading and investing; demonstrates how these techniques can be used on equities, futures, fixed-income, foreign exchange, and overseas markets; and explains how they can be merged with candlesticks and traditional Western techniques to create powerful new hybrids.
