Hi Steve-

Thanks for taking the time to make the lengthy reply; it was appreciated.

As Nison and Morris elaborate in their books, combining candlesticks with other tea leaves will improve your success. Nison talks a lot about moving averages, and Morris uses stochastics.

Actually, as far as filtered candlesticks go, the results I was most impressed with came from the preliminary screening with bollinger bands. But I haven't followed up on this.

I also liked your contrast between the TA trader who uses reversal indicators vs. the one who uses continuation indicators a la momentum "investing"; in general, candlesticks seem better at reversals although I've been toying with certain particularly appealing continuation patterns (on an intuitive level) like Tasuki gaps.

BTW, this thread needs a "Tip of the Day"; Nison's second book is so chock full of little pointers that I'm only able to take a percentage in even on a second reading and I need daily reinforcement!
