Currency Trading For Dummies

Great and handy

Not really for the absolute beginner. Structured & written in an odd way, where the authors are talking about things & using words before anything has been explained. The book doesn’t really start you off at the beginning as if you have no knowledge. Kinda vague on explaining anything & leaves you scratching your head. Stick to baby pips website. Much easier to follow & better guide.

Don't be hesitant in buying this book. it's a great introduction to currency trading and doesn't shoot around the question of what actually affects the market, and what the daily process of trading currencies is, without making it inaccessible. it also includes great tips on how to find a trading style and gives a good basis for technical analyses.

A great book to get yourself introduced to the FOREX market. It's written in very understandable way that makes people not familiar with any financial markets to understand it easily. If you are being interested in trading on FOREX, this book is definitely a great position to start with. The book alone will rather not prepare you well for trading, but will give you solid basic understanding of FOREX, allowing you to consume more advanced books much easier.

A few people, myself included, have noticed that this book assumes a familiarity with terminology that "dummies" won't understand. So, although the book is a great read, you'll need to supplement your reading by googling terms like "liquidity" and "illiquid" because these terms are not necessarily explained when you need to understand them but later on. This, of course, could have been avoided by supplying the book with a glossary of terms; given the nature of the book then I'm surprised that the "Dummies" series doesn't do this as standard. Having said all that, it's a great book to get started and there's a new edition in the pipeline.

Phenomenal book, I had a decent understanding of forex already, however this book has still helped a lot. Very easy to read and not a book that you need to read page by page. You can use it when you need crucial information or you are stuck on a topic. Could not be more happy with it.
