Thank you

    Chart school on SC has a very good introduction:

    stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:chart_analysis:introduction_to_candlesticks

    For books, check out the bookstore on SC or Amazon. Probably the best known authors are Steve Nison, Greg Morris (SC contributor) and Martin Pring (also SC contributor).

    But, I wouldn't go crazy on memorizing the hundreds of patterns. Just concentrate on what represents strong or weak buying pressure and strong or weak selling pressure. And pay attention to the volume that accompanies each candle configuration.

    Also check out Candlevolume and/or Arms Candlevolume charts. Very helpful in spotting quickly where the action is/has been.
