Important Caveats

You will see plus and minus signs generated by Nison Candle Scanner. These are NOT trade recommendations. They relay if the pattern is potentially bearish (a minus sign) or potentially bullish (a plus sign).

Effective candle charting techniques requires not only an understanding of the candle patterns, but a policy of using sound, coherent trading strategies and tactics. For example, not every candle signal should be used to place a trade. Or that a bullish candle signal doesn’t necessarily mean the market will rally the next session.

The critical aspect of “I have a Nison candle signal, now what do I do?” is detailed in our various Training Programs. To find out your special price for a custom designed educational package contact paul@candlecharts.com .

Charting
Using the Market Analyzer
Setting up Alerts within Market Analyzer
Using the Indicator Window [IMPORTANT NOTE: NinjaTrader includes an indicator called “CandlestickPattern”. This is NOT the Nison Candle Scanner. It is an indicator developed by NinjaTrader that was not designed by Steve Nison. More importantly, this indicator does not define the candles correctly and we do not recommend using it... unless you want to get incorrect candle signals!]

Risk Disclosure: The risk of loss trading securities, futures, forex, and options can be substantial and is not for every investor. Individuals must consider all relevant risk factors including their own personal financial situation before trading. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. We make no profitability nor performance claims of any kind; all information is published for educational use only. Disclaimer: All information provided herein is published for educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. No profitability nor performance claims of any kind are being made. Trading is a high-risk, speculative activity. We are not an investment advisor, financial planner nor registered broker. We are a publisher of educational content. Consult with a registered investment advisor prior to making trading and/or investment decisions.

We do not purport to tell or suggest which securities nor currencies customers should buy or sell for themselves. Our owners, employees, subcontractors, colleagues and/or affiliates may hold positions in the stocks, currencies or industries discussed here. You understand and acknowledge that there is a very high degree of risk involved in trading. It should not be assumed that the methods, techniques, or indicators presented in these products will be profitable or that they will not result in losses. Testimonials may not be representative of the experience of other clients, and testimonials are no guarantee of future performance nor success. Their experiences may not be typical of what you can expect to achieve, as results may vary. Claims contained within testimonials have not been verified. Testimonials, case studies and success stories are individual experiences by persons who have used our services. Although these are accepted from site visitors and customers in good faith, we have not independently examined the trading records of any customers and therefore have not verified any specific figures or results quoted therein. For this reason you should assume that their results are not typical. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits of any kind. Generally-expected customer results are that all traders lose money and do not become profitable, regardless of the training they receive -- trading is a high-risk speculative activity and there is significant risk of financial loss involved. Trading involves a substantial degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rule 4.41 HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
