Format:Hardcover
VERY long on history, VERY short on substance. Lots of plugs for various websites and services but next to useless for anyone with more than a basic knowledge of Forex trading. Gives background information and history lessons throughout but gives little in terms of actual profit making strategy. Bitterly dissapointed with this book. I didnt expect this book to make me a millionaire overnight, however i didnt expect to nod off while reading it either !.

Over the past three years I must have spent a fortune on trading books, often with mixed emotions about what I've actually got from them. But this is the first time i've been left feeling really frustrated.
Why, because given the author's first-rate credentials and experience, you can't help feeling that it's been rushed and she was working to a publisher's strict deadline. Either that or she's not playing full-out and is keeping a lot in reserve. Either way, it's a case of what could have been rather than what is....
There's nothing wrong with the content per se - though I'd question the prominence given to detailed market history and fundamentals in a relatively slim (240pp) volume aimed at day trading. But too often you're left thinking "when will Lien get on with it" and offer up the kind of insight and advice that her credentials suggest she is capable of.
There are the odd glimmers of hope, useful advice on trade preparation and journal keeping, major currency profiles and correlations all hint at untapped potential but sadly the book runs out of steam before it really ever gets going.
The lack of a "conclusion" or closing chapter also compounds the "work in progress" nature of the book. As does the lack of a references /further reading section - instead we're given several plugs for websites which Lien has a commercial interest in.
The second edition is out in December. Unless the second edition puts more meat on the bone, then my advice would be to view a purchase with considerable trepidation and limit your spending to a cheap used copy.

There is enough here for a beginner to be getting on with so very good for that. It is a good starting point but you will need something better later on. Currencies are quite random but still analyzable within Technical Analysis so buy a candlesticks book as well. However, the best moves are those predicted by fundamental/macro analysis and she covers some of that too as a primer though. £40 is way overpriced. This is a primer not an indepth book. £20 is more realistic.
