Day Trading & Swing Trading the Currency Market

It's great book! Kathy explained in detail the important of timing, include which currency pairs to trade in different time zone. This is very valuable information to traders who stay in Asia, like me. I recommend this book for active traders. TS - Singapore

Excellent Book on Currency Trading

I was reluctant to purchase this book because i feared this one would be as many other books i have bought before: tutorial on basics, with examples that are hard to follow. I was wrong but i am giving it a four star because the one area i believe is very important to discuss stop-loss management she was not very helpful - still better than most books i read - for that i think you need to read Agustin Silvani's book. Aside from that this book is an excellent instruction book on swing and day trading. The book very succintly explains the preparation for the trading day and the two strategies you can follow: fundamental or technical. Although i don't use some of her strategies i do use a couple and am in the process of designing my system for the others. I think the three chapters 8,9 and 10 are worth the price of book by themselves.

Must read for any FOREX Trader

Unless you are a professional financial analyst dedicating hours of research to the currency markets this book is a must read. (even if you are an analyst, you'll want to read this book). Just buy the book, and read it, then read it again. This is some complex stuff, Kathy provides a forum to understand the FOREX market and what moves it and how to trade it. Trading strategies with entry and exit rules for long and short positions. Terrific work!

Excellent read on Forex

As always, this was an excellent read, Kathy. I've been following your blog for some time and you've always got some information that I've utilized in my trading. Can't wait for the next one!

Excellent update to Kathy's first book, a "must get" for all forex traders

Kathy's first book on daytrading the currency markets is a landmark; this updated version expands on it by adding new content for trading news plays, how to time a turn (pivot), and following flow (institutional money flow). Kathy's a brilliant forex strategist and trader, and along with Boris, the two of them are great resources to learn from. Highly recommended. I'll be telling my 8100 traders that this is a "strong buy"; all of Kathy's training (particularly how to use correlation tables to identify strongest-paired moves) are a superb addition to any currency trader's library. Great job as always, Kathy! Ken Calhoun, Pres. DaytradingUniversity
