Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Complete Guide to Using Candlestick Charting
Alan Northcott · 2009
55/100
👎 Skip It
Northcott covers the candlestick pattern universe comprehensively, and the practitioner interviews add real-world texture that textbooks often miss. The problem is age: published in 2009, all market references and regulatory context are dated, and the dry textbook presentation makes it a chore without payoff for today's traders. Beginners are better served by a current resource.
