Best Used For

Traders who already have an understanding of candlesticks, but are looking for a way to fine tune their application of candlesticks to real trading situations.

Our Review - Forex Candlesticks Made Easy is very good information based on its price - you will not go wrong.

What's In It For Me - You get an understanding for some methods which some of the so called candlestick guru's leave out.  What's more, the methods taught, do not even need to be learned, so long as you can see how they work, you will be able to remember them and apply them.

What We Liked:

What we liked about  Forex Candlesticks Made Easy is that, what traders fail to remember is that, no mater what the market is doing "Candlesticks Never Lie".  All you need to do is to properly understand how to interpret them.

 Forex Candlesticks Made Easy is split into 4 sections and 1 bonus section.

Section 1 - Deals with Solitary Candlesticks

You may or may not know that there is a very simple formula to trading the markets: Profit = P+V+M, where your Profit is a function of the market Price, Volume and Momentum.  This section shows you 2 particular candlesticks which enable you to assess the momentum in the market, the lack of momentum and indecision in the market.

The section also reveals a candle pattern showing "Buyer / Seller Rejection".  Understanding this candle pattern alone will enable you to identify potential turning points in the market.  The stronger this pattern, the greater the Buyer / Seller Rejection is likely to be and the market will move in the opposite direction.  However it is important to understand the Buyer / Seller Rejection pattern because, where is occurs as a "Multiple Pattern" it means the Buyer / Seller resistance / support is weakening and the market is likely to continue to move in the same direction.  You will see where the gradient of the candlesticks to the Buyer / Seller Rejection is contracting, you will see how it means the resistance / support is going to be aggressively tested.

Section 2 - Deals with Relative Candlesticks

This section shows you how to properly interpret candlestick clusters, having regard to the momentum candlesticks identified in Section 1.  You will learn how to pay attention to the gradient of the momentum move, and how it will eventually come to an end, to mark your exit target of profit taking or position covering point.  You learn how to identify when the momentum comes to an end, there is a high chance that the market will move in the opposite direction.

Here's the real gem in this section!

Most traders are aware of the candlestick "Engulfing Pattern" but do not truly understand it.  When this is confused with a "Profit Taking Pattern", it will force the trader to place a low-winning probability trade.  To overcome this, you need to know how to trade the Profit Taking Pattern.  It has ONE criteria which separates it from the Engulfing Pattern.

This section shows you how momentum also acts as a suitable place to set your stops loss, so as to prevent being whipsawed out.  You will also see how you need to monitor the length of the candlestick as a way of determining whether momentum is strong or slowing down.    Forex Candlesticks Made Easy also addresses another common error made by traders, which is they see a good time to enter when momentum is weak.  This is wrong.  Weak momentum should never be used as an entry point, only as an exit point.

Section 3 - Significant Price Formations

This section shows you how to apply Sections 1 and 2 to trading resistance / support levels.  You will learn how to spot congruence in the candlesticks around their resistance / support levels, as a method of placing high-winning probability trades.

This section will also give you 4 simple "Candle Reversal Patterns" which are extremely reliable with a 70-80% chance that the price is going to move in your favour.  What is really good about these 4 patterns is that they are usually formed around resistance / support levels.  Here's the disclaimer:  If these 4 patterns occur in a trend and NOT at the resistance / support level, they do not mean anything.  However, I can't say what these 4 patters are due to copyright!

Section 4 - Deals with Explosive Formations

This section gives you 2 patterns which reveal the following:

Pattern 1 - This is a pattern which shows the build up of pressure and how to position yourself for a break of the pattern, and

Pattern 2 - This is a pattern which shows how to take hundreds of pips from any Forex market in less then a week, with a very high Risk / Reward ratio.

With regards to these 2 patterns you will see that most traders trade the pattern wrong, as they place their buy /sell order 1-5 pips outside the parameters in Pattern 1 and 2 to try and "catch the explosive move".   Forex Candlesticks Made Easy shows how you must stop the "Emotional Trading" as the institutional traders (aka. the market sharks) like to prey on such behaviour.  They key is "Don't trade on the initial explosion".  You will learn a "Sell-Stop-Trigger Order" methodology to overcome this emotional trading with these patterns.  You will see that what you really need to do is LET the market tell you whether the explosion in Pattern 1 and 2 is a valid one.

Bonus Section - Deals with the "Time Frame Principal"

This is often over looked by many traders in that you must not look at any one time frame in isolation Forex Candlesticks Made Easy shows how for example a 1 hour time frame can give a very different picture to a 15 minute time frame.  You will learn how to dissect the trend up in detail.

Good
Forex Candlesticks Made Easy really is a valuable piece of kit.  It tells you what the so called candlestick gurus have left out!  I give it 10/10.

The Bad – There is none.  Forex Candlesticks Made Easy is a very reasonably priced product - at this cost alone, you'll recover it with what you will learn from the package.
