Why Using Japanese Candlesticks Is The Best Way To Trade Trendless Markets

Which way is the market headed next week? Who knows, it depends on whether the war newsclips are showing a good day or a bad day. Is there money being made in this market? You bet! The bullish candlestick signals have produced some high profit returns this week. At the same time, the sell signals have produced excellent short profits.

This is not unusual when trading the signals. Going back to basics, the signals are created by the cumulative knowledge of all the investors participating in that investment vehicle during that time frame. This becomes more clear when the signals point out where buying or selling is occurring, even when there is no trend in the general market. The key here is having both long and short positions on, implemented by finding the strong candlestick buy and sell signals.

In a market not showing any distinct trend for a few weeks now, it is impressive to see the results of the Stock Picks of the Day on the site. We bring this fact to your attention because it has even impressed our new staff members!

The vast majority of our picks over the past four weeks have moved with decisive profits. Has every pick made money? Certainly not, but the losing trades are closed quickly and the positive trades vastly outnumber them. The recent trades PHCC, -.4%, NLY, +1.0%, AEM, +4.3%, URBN, +1.0%, MANT, +20.0%, CCMP, +3.1%, RANGY, +8.3%, CHTT, +10.1%, CEGE, +11.3%, LLL, –0.6%, AVII, –21%, WBSN, +5.3%, as examples, are in line with previous trades and time periods. The trades are a mixture of longs and shorts, 12 trades in all, with 9 up 1% to 20%, 2 basically flat and one down. And the one loser is digesting a one-day gain of over 46%!

This illustration is not to pound chests. It is to illustrate that the probabilities are always in our favor using our candlestick analysis system. Review the trades, not so much for the results, but for the reasons they were executed and closed. The signals show when and why to get into a trade and when and why to get out. They work. Even more so after over four hundred years of refinement.

We are gratified by the many emails thanking us for showing profitable trades. However, the point of this site is candlestick analysis education. If you are using it solely for profitable trade exploitation, you are missing the boat. Learn why each trade is being recommended. Visually fix the signal pattern, along with the corresponding indicators, so the next time you see the same setup, you will be able to exploit a profitable situation. This is not rocket science. This is learning to recognize a sign. Keep in mind, rice traders made unimaginable fortunes using these simple visual techniques.

The Power Of A Gap Up After A Doji - Candlestick Play Of The Week

What is a high profit pattern? The gap up after a Doji. What does the Doji represent? Indecision! Indecision at a level in a trend where the bulls and the bears are at an equilibrium. Then a gap up from that indecision. What does a gap up represent? A massive desire from investors to get into a position.

Look at CHTT, one of our recent picks. Note the series of Doji’s before the gap up. A four day period of indecision. Stochastics showing an oversold situation, and then a dramatic indication that the buyers have made up their minds. This creates a high probability trade. Simple analysis of what actually is happening at the turn gives the investor valuable forewarnings.


Due to its extremely high probability of success, the "Gap Up After A Doji" is one of our favorite candlestick patterns. Mr. Bigalow has written an e-book entitled "Big Profits Using Candlestick Signals And Gaps", available in the Candlestick Trading Publications section of our website.

One of our Members emailed us saying that he considered this e-book to the the "most complete treatise on how to successfully and profitably play gaps" that he had ever seen. Subtitled "How To Make A Living Trading The Markets By Mastering Easy To Learn Techniques Hardly Anyone Else Knows About", this e-book should be in every serious investor's library.

The Candlestick Trading Forum Chat Room Is Live!

We held our first chat room discussion last Wednesday evening. About 54 "chatters" attended, with a few more dropping in and out at various times during the evening. Due to the many favorable responses from the participants, we have decided to make this a scheduled event two times a week. Our Wednesday chat will run from 4:00 - 6:00 P.M. CST and our Sunday chat will run from 7:00 - 9:00 P.M. CST.

Join our chat room discussions Wednesday and Sunday nights. Use this time to learn and ask questions. The more you experience profitable practices, the faster you can control your own investment future. The format is for investors and traders wanting to become more confident in their trading, and to be refreshed on signals and patterns. These sessions are a time to review candlestick concepts as well as to share with other members where other vital investment information can be found on the Internet.

To take part in the Chat Room, go to our website and click on "Enter The Forum". It may ask you to set up a username and password. If you are prompted for this, please note that this is NOT the same as your Candlestick Trading Forum username and password. So you may want to log on early to get that set up.

Once you are in the Forum, click on "Chat!" (on the right hand side of the screen above all the Forum postings). The system may then prompt you for a name to be used in the chat - enter whatever you want there. Looking forward to seeing you in the Chat Room!

Mr. Value Is Providing Secret Information - And Explosive Profits - In The Forum

Mr. Value has been contributing some excellent breakout situations through Daryl on the Forum. For those of you that are not familiar with Mr. Value, he is an analyst who has been working with one of the nation's leading money-management firms. His research capabilities have produced recommendations of companies whose stock price has not yet reflected the fundamental improvements the company has experienced. The combination of his uncovering tremendous growth potential companies, added to the timing that is contributed by candlestick analysis, makes for a powerful long term investment program.

Also, keep watching for the Quiz of the Week in the Forum. We are offering one of our e-books for free to the first person who can answer our question related to candlestick chart patterns. Have fun while learning a highly profitable trading system!

Take advantage of the fun and knowledge being passed back and forth in the Forum area of the site while you still can. To enter the Forum, go to the Candlestick Trading Forum Home Page and click on "Enter The Forum".

A Sector We Like this Week

The whole Gold Stock sector did a Bullish Engulfing pattern on Friday. Three of our current recommendations are coming from that sector. Should be some good money made there this week!

Why Now Is The Best Time Ever To Become A Candlestick Trading Forum Member

We sincerely hope that you are starting to get the message about why we think our simple, easy to learn system, developed from over 15 years of research, is also one of the most powerful systems available in the investment arena today. We have reviewed hundreds of other systems and methods for making money in the markets. We have read hundreds of books about trading and investing. After all that study, we have chosen to stay with our system. A system that anyone can learn in 60 days or less.

We have just not seen another system that can provide an 80 - 95% probability of a successful trade, as ours can do.

We are now closing in on triple-digit returns for the past 13 months (unaudited and uncompounded). Many people have told us that this was impossible to do in the market we have been faced with over that time. All we can say is "check out our picks - they are all posted on the site, and see for yourself".

We would be glad to let you know how you can be part of this program. For more information, please read about becoming a Member in the Become A Member! section of our website.

In Conclusion...

Well, that about wraps it up for this issue. If you have read Steve's book “Profitable Candlestick Trading”, you should have gleaned that Candlestick Analysis is not difficult. Too many people try to read more into it than they should. It is easy. Use our knowledge. Use the Forum to ask questions or see what others are doing to improve their investing capabilities. The more investors that become adept at candlestick investing, the more profits the candlestick investing community will make together!

Good Investing,
