If you're already familiar with candlestick analysis, you'll still benefit from this book. The decomposition of multi-day charts, as well as the sentiment behind the indicators, was enlightening. The key take-away for me was to consider candlesticks an enhancement to other technical anaylsis, proving most valuable as sentiment indicators near support and resistance points. The added chapter for traders, authored by Litchfield, refined the data from prior chapters.

The material in this book is an excellent compliment to the traditional technical analysis methodology. I should have looked into using candlestick charting years ago. Combined, the two methods form an invaluable tool for the serious investor/trader.
