Currency Trading Fd 3e (For Dummies) Paperback – February 6, 2015

If you are looking to get into trading and have no idea where to begin, this book is a pretty solid pick.What I like most about it is the author's capacity to reduce the complexity and entirety of Currency-trading into short easy to read bits of texts.Of-course this book does not cover everything on trading, but it touches on the main principle ideas behind currency trading that every trader should know in order to increase their chances into making winning trades.

This Book has Knowledge & Tips for Beginner and Trader to Enhance their Skills.

This is a solid review of the 'nuts & bolts' of 'retail' forex trading-- peaks and troughs in liquidity, world-wide trading hours, technical analysis, the use of various types of 'orders,' and-- most critically-- what it means to buy or sell a currency pair. The order of the ratio-- say, EUR/USD-- is key to understanding the latter.In part two, the authors get bogged down in a 100+ page discussion of 'fundamentals' of currency trading-- economic events, broadly defined, that can affect currency pairs. *Way* too much information here! The authors would have been more helpful if they had just provided a comprehensive list of economic 'events' and 'announcements,' the approximate release dates, and a brief discussion of how the 'event' or 'announcement' *usually* moves a currency pair. That probably would have covered about twenty pages, instead of 100+.All in all, an excellent primer on currency trading.

I bought 4 other books to learn about Forex, but none of those 4 books helped. After buying this book I understand how the forex market works and how to trade successfully. Don’t bother buying other books, this book is great for beginners.

The best version, not the new one

There are some good things in this book, but it takes a long time to get to its main points. And as it tries to be comprehensive, it gets muddled down with 'indicators' and inconsequential asides. For something more practical and useful, check out 'Naked Forex' by Alex Nekritin and Walter Peters.

Great to know and get a understanding of the basics, also nice to keep handy to use for reference when needed. But don’t expect to be profitable by only reading this book at all.

says for dummies but colledge level info in easy to understand format, i highly recommend
