Stephen Bigalow

Stephen W. Bigalow possesses over twenty-five years of investment experience, including eight years as a stockbroker with major Wall Street firms: Kidder Peabody & Company, Cowen & Company and Oppenheimer & Company. This was followed by fifteen years of commodity trading, overlapped with twelve years of real estate investing. He holds a business and economics degree from Cornell University, and has lectured at Cornell and at many private educational investment functions over the past twenty years.

Mr. Bigalow has advised professional traders, money managers, mutual funds and hedge funds, and is recognized by many in the trading community as the "professional's professional."

His book, Profitable Candlestick Trading: Pinpointing Market Opportunities to Maximize Profits, published by John Wiley & Sons, hit the market in January 2002. The book is directed towards the new investor all the way up to the most sophisticated professionals. It is written in a manner that easily demonstrates the wealth of information, about price movement and the investor psychology, built into the Candlestick signals. He emphasizes the fact that investors, especially the unsophisticated investor, can extract information from the signals. This information, filled with common sense investment principles, greatly expands an investors perspective. Reading the book eliminates the need to depend on investment professionals.

His experience with Candlesticks started over fifteen years ago. This was approximately the time that the Candlesticks were first introduced into the United States. This extensive experience has been channeled into a concise and effective training procedure. Fifteen years of learning from mistakes and avoiding the potential pitfalls are consolidated into an easy to follow, comprehensive training program.

Throughout his investment career, Mr. Bigalow has directed his investment acumen towards developing improved methods for extracting profits from the investment markets. His research, encompassing all fundamental and technical methods, resulted in verifying that Candlestick analysis was superior to any other method. In consulting with money management and energy trading firms, he has successfully combined conventional research methods with Candlestick analysis to greatly enhance investment returns. His implementation of statistical analysis with the Japanese Candlestick methodology has produced some unique successful trading programs.

Mr. Bigalow has also played a role in creating effective methods for learning "how" to use Candlestick signals profitably.
