I have read a lot of books and this is the only one I found that is rich in basic info and fundamental knowledge. Readers are taught of ways on how to acquire good trading habits and a sound money management. The different kinds of risks are also discussed quite seriously. I highly recommend this to newbie traders who want to get a general overview of the forex market and currencies trading. This book is tailor-made for early learners in forex; while expert traders might find the book a frustrating read. If anyone out there wants to learn more useful things about forex, please read this book.

Readers will not find heavy information about currency trading here. It is very clear that the author just wants to welcome newbie traders in the complex world of forex trade. The book contains only the basics: a very short history; common terms used in forex trading; the fundamentals of forex, steps on how to open or close an trading account; methods of calculation; different techniques of money management; and a general discussion about technical analysis and some resources in forex trading. Definitely a beginner’s book in forex!

As one of the first books that I’ve read during my learning period in forex trading, this book helped me to understand the currency trade quicker than any book I’ve read. Forex is explained in rich details. It motivates and inspires newbie traders to go on studying and become real traders. This book also guides newbies to places where important news and information are found. Anyone who is new in currency trading and wants to learn the first steps into the forex world should buy this book.

Whoever edited this book is annoying or blind. I found many errors in different parts of the book but the most memorable mistakes are in Chapter 8—‘The Calculating Trader’. These bloopers will create confusion in the minds of readers, especially the newbie traders who are self-studying about forex trade. The book I own is the first edition (2005)—I shall give this book a rate of 2 stars. It failed to present some informative overview on the subject.

The book described the basics of forex investments quite fluently. The lively discussions about trading principles will also teach you the steps on how to become a millionaire. Many parts of the book are somewhat similar to other books but the clear and easy way of presentation saved it from being repetitive. I definitely recommend this book to those learner traders.

absolute disappointment

The book is an absolute disappointment. I was expecting to learn the early steps in forex trading but found only a broad discussion of terms and concepts of currency trading. Some are described vaguely and lack details about trading strategies and methods. However, the book is not totally useless. New traders who are thirsty for more forex knowledge will benefit from this book. Be warned though - the information found here is also posted on the Internet. Well-written pages about basic forex content are offered in numerous forex websites—at no cost. So if I were you, I’d rather search for online info than buy the book even if it’s at its lowest discounted price from Amazon.

I was already a trader of currencies when I read this book. I found the content fairly simple and objective. The discussion about forex market is not done in a continuous manner but rather through presenting a big picture of what the currency trade looks like is presented. The way it’s written is not recommended for dummies or for long-time traders. You have to have some sort of background in forex trading. It’s not an exciting read but the basic and fundamental knowledge that readers will get is enough to cover the price that you have to pay.

Do you want to start currency trading but don’t know where to start? This book is good and useful to new traders who want to learn about forex trading on their own. I was a newbie when I started reading this book. I was instantly addicted to it because it provided the basic foundation of forex and the currency market. In fact, I read it twice. I made sure that I acquired the fundamental knowledge of forex from the book. I believe that this is the reason why I became successful when I started trading about a year later. However, the book is not recommended for expert traders for they might find the content backward and elementary.
