Now, with this groundbreaking new book, the "Father of Candlesticks" further revolutionizes technical analysis with an entire collection of stunningly effective Japanese techniques.

In Beyond Candlesticks, Steve Nison unveils the mysteries of four more of Japan's most closely guarded financial secrets—Kagi, Renko, Three-Line Break charts, and the disparity index—incredibly versatile techniques for forecasting and tracking market prices and buying and selling periods.

• Explores the exotic twists and turns of the disparity index—a Japanese secret more exact and timely than its Western cousin, moving averages
