(The candlesticks chart's) "value added" element, together with new insights...virtually assures its wide acceptance and enthusiastic reception...."
-John J. Murphy, President
JJM Technical Advisors, Inc.
Author of Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets

"a distinguished effort of research, analysis, and translation...not only complete and informative, but also enjoyable to read. Steve has done a good job of relating, and clearly illustrating, the way in which the Japanese candlestick charting techniques fit in with and complement traditional Western technical tools...I am sure that this work will become the standard text on the subject."
-Robin Griffiths
Senior Executive James Capel
Co. Chairman, British Society of Technical Analysts

"Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques is a must for the serious security or commodity trader. It is the definitive book...explained in plain, straightforward English. I have been a market technician for over 15 years and a money manager for more than 20 years and...have switched from my bar charts to candlestick charts. I also believe that any technician who reads this book will do likewise."
-H. Phillip Becker, President
H.P. Becker & Co.

"It's hard to be too effusive about the quality of Nison's work...reading (his book) was a pleasure. This is clearly one of the best investment books ever written...We strongly recommend his book, which will undoubtedly become an investment classic."
-Bruce Babcock Jr.
