Key takeaways

  • The book introduces renko, kagi, and three-line break to Western readers.
  • Filtering price is not the same as predicting it.
  • This 1994 edition is a reference, not a current backtest.
Wiley dates the book to December 1994, 304 pages. After a candlestick review, Nison explains disparity index, three-line break, renko, and kagi. These are ways of filtering price so that time or noise drops out of the picture. A filtered chart still needs a rule for risk. Removing some bars does not reveal direction. The examples are from the period of the book, and the methods are descriptive. Read it after the candlestick reference if the question is what those other Japanese charts are. Do not read it as an update that replaces candlesticks or as a modern backtest.

    Evidence-Based Technical Analysis

    David Aronson

    Evidence-Based Technical Analysis asks whether a technical rule survives a statistical test, especially after many rules were tried. ChartClub lists the 2006 Wiley edition. The book is a warning about data mining, not a catalog of signals that work.

    Following the Trend

    Andreas F. Clenow

    This is the second edition of Andreas F. Clenow's Following the Trend, a plain account of diversified managed-futures trend following. ChartClub lists the 2023 Wiley edition beside the 2012 record. A revised rule set is still not a fund result.
