Format:Paperback
After reading many of the other reviews for other Forex books, i was wary of reading a book that only promotes its authors webinars or specific Forex sites. This book gave me a good understanding of how the Forex market works, how I can take steps to begin my trading, how to create a trading strategy, how to avoid common "rookie" mistakes and how to analyze data. I am still in the practice account mode, but this book has given me the confidence to take the first step and I feel much more informed than I was with just reading blogs and trading websites. I would recommend this for any person new to Forex who has the common sense to take it slow and learn the basics to give themselves the best chances.

This book gives the basics that you need for trading ForEx and starts well. The author describes himself as being non mainstream and therefore some of the views are somewhat slanted away from the best advise that could be offered to the novice.

It starts well and it professes to be in laymans terms however it soon slumps lazily into industry terminology, many times without prior explanation of the acronyms etc. It has been poorly written and poorly edited with bad grammar throughout which becomes tiresome. It also switches between first person, collective and third person which grinds on the reader after a while. It reminds me of the writing of an adolescent who has just found a thesaurus for the first time.

Additionally the charting, being printed in black and white, is often described in colour so becomes irrelevant for interpretation by the reader.

My advise, spend a little more and get a much better book, if you are going to risk your money on ForEx then your first investment should be better than this.
