This is the first book I ever read on Forex. Got me off to a running start! 5 Stars Good Introduction We recommend this book to our clients who want to learn more about global currency markets. It gives a great introductory overview and history of currency. Brief and well written. 2 Stars You’re better off reading something else… So many editorial reviews on Amazon are so far off the mark…and this book is no exception. Poorly written, poorly edited and of course poorly priced. The author spends too much time on his personal observations, which are highly subjective of course, but devoid of the poignancy that would justify such missives. He then moves quickly from one topic to the next, explaining none in sufficient detail. Much of what he writes isn’t very important to a trader and is probably obvious to a student of financial markets. Laypeople will learn something about the world of forex, but this cursory treatment lacks focus. They are better off reading a few focused books. The few pages devoted to interviews from successful traders were informative, but I found myself disagreeing with some of the “facts” (read: opinions) offered up. If you must buy this book, take what is written here with a grain of salt. Then go buy a serious book on the stucture of the foreign exchange market, on risk management and on trading strategies. This book will not make you a better trader and it certainly isn’t worth the price. 4 Stars Good Introduction to the Forex Market! This book definately gives the reader a good look at the intricacies of the Forex, but it is not the final step in your education of the Forex market. The Forex market is a world unto itself and by nature is a huge gamble for a private investor. This book is a great place to start. The author uses good examples to illustrate his points and doesn’t assume the reader has a thorough understanding of macroeconomics. 2 Stars Not worth it Of all the books I’ve read on Forex this has to be the least useful. There is no central theme, no “how to”….it’s a collection of dis-jointed, unrelated trivia about the foreign currency market. Not worth the paper it’s written on…in my view. You’ll do considerably better reading nearly anything else. Don’t waste your money or your time.
