"Investing in KLSE Stocks and Futures with Japanese Candlestick Techniques" Fred Tam's 3rd book - 2001)                                                                                                                            

"Fred Tam's new book is a welcome addition to the field of Japanese Candlestick Charting. This book has the same attributes as candle charts; they are both clear, concise and give powerful insights. Since i revealed candle charts to the Western world, there haven't been any books that i can recommend on the subject. This is the  first one i can. Whether you are new to candle charting or an expert, this book will arm you with the weapons needed to help you win your battle of the markets."

"Fred Tam's book is a must-read for every Malaysian investor who is trading or intending to trade in the Malaysian stock  market. Our market has a peculiar tendency to rise and fall in cycles of between 5 and 20 days and nothing can match the Japanese candlestick technique in spotting market turning points. This technique has been in use in Malaysia since the 1970s but no one has attempted to document it in a book until Tam came along. I appreciate very much his tireless dedication, hard work and effort in producing the fine book.

The chartists have many tools and techniques for the financial markets. However, Tam is a pioneer in exploring and applying the Japanese candlestick ideology in the pattern of Malaysian stock market behaviours since 1970. The Malaysian stock market had been very volatile and extreme. Perhaps, Japanese candlestick techniques as strongly advocated by him could be of good use to the chartists to forecast market trends."

"As a Japanese futures brokerage house, we are very proud that Fred Tam has chosen to write about the Japanese candlestick technique for his third book. This 300-year-old technique has been brought down from generation of traders and is still very much in use in Japan today. Tam's book is comprehensive and is a valuable guide for those who wish to invest or trade in both the futures and the stock markets."
