I just started out in forex trading and the book has been super useful. I visited their brokerage website and learned a lot and eventually ended up purchasing their media CDs as well. This was the most informative group of materials out there. I was compelled to submit a review because of the reviews that were way off base.
An overview--not for in-depth study
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is a general overview of the Forex market, including its history. All the information contained in the book is helpful, but it teaches neither the various economic factors that have fundamental effects on the currency markets, nor the technicals involving day-to-day trading. If I wanted to buy one book to get a general idea of what everyone is talking about, this would be it. It is also an easy read for a short afternoon.
I never knew anything about forex trading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book was my first introduction to forex trading. I needed something I could wrap my mind around, that would give me the basic information, without going overboard. This book did just that. Written by an actual trader, it proved useful to me to understand the terminology, how to get started, as well as what kind of mindset I will need to have in order to succeed. From my experiences in trading stocks and futures I learned a long time ago not to look for a holy grail. Just give me good solid information on what it is I am dealing with and I can handle the rest. This is what this book did for me! And the great part about it I didn't have to read for days on end, the book was brief enough for me to gain some fundamentals. I definitely recommend it to anyone new to Forex trading.
