The Secret Code of Japanese Candlesticks

Gosh... never imagined that I will touch again this kind of books... In fact, I was asked by a junior to help review this book. As such, I need to read through before I can give her sort of feedback she wants... After all, I need to update my private library too... So, why not?

End up... Gosh, what a lousy book!!! In the first place, there are really nothing new under the sun. As such, the way that the author tends to perceived that he found something new and some top secrets in trading really pissed me off. In fact, there is zero secret revealed by the author in regards to candlesticks. Based on western or eastern sources, those stuff are nothing great and definitely not as "magic" as claimed by the author.

Then, the whole book is in a mess. It is not organized in terms of contents. It is supposed to be a book about candlestick. Yet, the author is so "creative" that candlestick becomes a sub topic in the whole book. Topics are mixed up here and there and the sequence is a real mess to me. I was like... trying hard to concentrate in certain topic, but get distracted by the next chapter when something irrelevant (at least to me) pop up suddenly. The author is too "creative", LOL.

Overall, this is a funny book. The more you dig, the more you found nothing. As such, for a full rating of 10, I am giving it an "excellent" 0! What a huge disappointment...
