The Complete Candlestick Patterns Encyclopedia

61 patterns, explained the way you actually trade them

Illustrated edition, 2026 · interactive flipbook + PDF

Most candlestick guides stop at "here is a hammer". This one goes further. Every pattern gets the same 26-point page: how to spot it, the psychology behind it, where it works, entry, stop loss, target, a risk-to-reward example, false signals and when not to trade it. Examples use NIFTY 50, BANK NIFTY and NSE stocks, with risk worked out in rupees.
