This is a great book. It filled in a lot of the missing info that new forex traders are missing in their everyday trading. This book has a nice mix of technical and the fundimentals that are missing in a lot of other author's books. This book should be in every new trader's library.

For those of you, like me, who actually want to learn to trade forex and don't know where to start, this is the book to buy. I reviewed lots of others, was disappointed that they either spent most of the book shilling a particular book/system/company, or else they gave a high-level overview of everything in the forex universe, but not much in the way of how-to's. This book's different. The first part explains how/which economic factors affect currency markets; the next section tells you about technical analysis and which/why/how to use it, and also talks a little about strategies. The third part is called "Putting It Together" -- here's where this book really stands out: he explains how to get started, how to do test trades, how to gauge your results, putting on different kinds of trades so that you can compare which worked better, etc. etc. Included is a spreadsheet following one trader's journey from inept beginner to knowledgeable forex trader. He talks about how to trade different size accounts. He talks about determining your trading style and best strategies to use whichever style you select. Note that each subject area is explained with enough detail that you can get started, right now, as you read. But if you want more information (as do I), he tells you where to look. This book is just great. I highly recommend it.

I have purchased and read most of the recent books related to Trading Forex. I would place Abe Cofnas' newly released "The Forex Trading Course: A Self-Study Guide to Becoming a Successful Currency Trader" at the top of the list of books to purchase. The author covers the basics of trading: Fundamentals and Technical Analysis in a very in-depth level. However, I feel what sets this book apart from others are discussions of Advanced Strategies (e.g., Renko scalp setup and Pattern Recognition).
This book is a Must Read!

Nothing new or great here. If your just getting started this book will help with the basics. The part about system development is very sparse (essentially just says use ms excel for backtesting). Overall I felt fleeced paying retail for this at B&N.
