The preface for the second edition still says most of the facts that
need to be here, with only a few changes and additions given below.
A number of new candle patterns have been developed since the first
edition came out in 1992. Many of these were created to fill the holes
in the original Japanese versions of the patterns. A large number of
original Japanese patterns did not have a complement or counterpart;
there was either a bullish version or a bearish version, but not both.
Those holes have been filled, along with a handful of new patterns.
When you study these patterns for all these years, one easily can start
to see how new things can develop. Steve North of North Systems was
the originator of many of these complementary and new patterns. If
you see these patterns in other books or articles on candlesticks, be
sure to ask the author where he/she obtained the information.
