The book "Candle Power" by Gregory L. Morris (Probus Publishing Company,
1992) has statistics on Candlestick patterns.

All my charts I am looking at now are either candlestick charts or close
only charts. The candlesticks "speak to me" more then traditional bar
charts. To trade based on candlestick charts alone? "Crazy" undertaking in
my opinion. There are more in trading then charts pattern. But when you
looking in those patterns candlesticks "stand out" more.
