Lookit..... I told this board I bought a bunch the other day. Of RAPT, that is. I bought RAPT because it did a candlestick called a hammer. Get any Nisan book you like. Or anyone elses candlestick book. Go to the index in the back and find "hammer". Turn to the page where it is described. Read up on it. Figure it out for yourself.

Go to stockfetcher for yourself. I told you all about it, didn't I? You think maybe running various filters against RAPT might be instructive of how various candlestick patterns might, from time to time, be used to tell you when to buy it (RAPT) or sell it?

I do think you are to be appreciated for saying you made a mistake. But then, bear in mind that I am "a troubled soul", according to guy who just posted, so what does it matter that I appreciated it?

:o)

Also, about Nisan. He is not some newsletter writer. The guy who keeps dissing me is just wrong about who he is. Nisan is a former broker with Merrill. Nisan single-handedly brought candlestick charting to the attention of the western world. And since Nisan spearheaded the candlestick revolution over here, it has become the charting solution of choice, BTW.

And his book got me started in it, and because of that, I was able to spot the hammer in RAPT. Already made money on that trade, BTW.

But then.... I'm just a troubled soul.....

True story from a trouble soul, LOL....

A guy I know lost 600K that was being managed by an outfit in Boca. The guy introduced me and indicated I should consider letting the guy do his thing for me. So I went there and I sat in the investment advisor's office and asked the guy what he thought of candlestick charting. This was about 1993 or 1994.

I'd gotten Nisan's original book shortly before then. So I asked him about candlestick charting and the guy looked at me like I was from the planet Zargon.... like I was some kind of troubled soul, LOL. I'm just a bitter guy.... a troubled soul.

As to the copy of the Nison book I have, its the first edition and I can not recommend the later ones becuase I have only that one. I figured you had enough common sense to find the publication date of whatever books Nisan has written since then. Why should I dig that out for you? If you are an idiot, I guess I need to spoon feed everything to you, after I've pre-masticated it, that is. I assumed you weren't a lilly livered light weight and that you'd appreciate my pointing you in the right direction and telling you to dig the rest of it up for yourself.

Just a troubled soul, though. Learned that the hammer is a nice candle. Bought RAPT when it showed up.... Told others to be encouraged by it having happened....

.....but I'm just a troubled soul.

I don't care how my requiring people to grow up and do their own work riles people. It worked for me. Do you think anyone led me to the answers or do you think maybe I ferreted it out for myself?

In any event, at least you have the nads to grant that it was offensive. Thanks for that.

Of course, what possible value is there to a nod of appreciation from a troubled soul like me?

:o)
