So, even if they dont provide much of an edge, for me they are still the clearest picture I can get. But they are clearer than bar charts or line charts at showing what might have happened during a time period. He also seems to be very good at ignoring the examples in his own charts where the patterns fail. Nison is very good at showing where the patterns work. But if you look closely at Nisons examples, you will see many failed signals for patterns that had already been discussed, or that would be discussed later. Anyone can pick out a chart and show how it illustrates their method. My main criticism is his selective examples. But that fiction is enough to make a real difference, because it makes a difference in the expectations of traders, and makes a difference on when traders are likely to make their decisions. Thus, candlestick charts work because traders all rely on the same data for the fictional opening and closing points of the bars of their charts. There is some slight variation for Daily and four hour charts, depending on the brokers time zones, but these provide only slight variations for the most part. The weekly and monthly charts are also the same for all traders. They retain their force, I believe, because every broker uses the same break points, at least for any chart that tracks an hour or less.

This difference means that many candlestick patterns have only limited application to the forex markets. The Forex market, for all practical purposes, is free of such gaps. This type of trading applies to equities and to other markets that have pretty clear opening and closing times - like the Japanese Rice market where this charting technique originated. Many of the patterns rely on gaps between closing and opening prices. Very clear description of the basic candlestick patterns.
