Currency Trading for Dummies Review: A great buy for the money - There are dozens of books on currency trading, most of them in the $30-60 range, some even higher than that. This is BY FAR the best buy for the money I've seen. I really think its not only as good, but better than many of the other rip off titles I've come across. The authors know their subject very well, and they put it across in the lucid, easy to reference format that I love about the "For Dummies" books. Unlike some other books, it is jam packed with helpful information and is as comprehensive as it can be in the given format. It will give you excellent points of departure to continually develop. Be forewarned however, this may not be the best first timer book for people who don't know what retail trading is all about. If you've never traded before or dealt with investing in a serious way, I recommend Ann C Louge's "Daytrading for Dummies" first, or some other basic 101 trading book. A book like that will help you get an idea of basic trading concepts, what you're getting yourself involved in on a psychological level, and will familiarize you with the workflow and organization. That will help you get more out of this book, even though this book tries hard to cover things from a 101 perspective. Galant and Dolan get to the chase on Forex pretty fast, which is great if you're actually ready to get down to business. If you came to this book thinking Forex is easy money, it will show you just how much work IS involved, and won't you be happy you spent $15 to find out instead of wasting much more on one of those stupid "How I made $1M in Forex" books or even worse, an expensive seminar. Review: Good Introduction - Any time an investment vehicle hits the front page of the WSJ where relatively unsophisticated individual investors are "making millions" - as currency trading did in the Fall of 2009 - I need to look into the next potential individual investor nightmare. The book was written by the founders of [...]. As the title notes, this is a book on trading, not hedging - and the authors do a great job in giving an overview of the currency trading markets. In a relatively brief 325 pages or so, they discuss in some level of detail: * What the FOREX market is * How it works * Macroeconomic factors impacting currency rates * Fundamental analysis techniques * Technical analysis - including charting, trend analysis, candlesticks * Developing a logical trading plan * Trade execution - includinga couple of examples * Common mistakes and best practices * Risk Management * Other resources The relatively high leverage levels in currency trading (100:1 is common) lend to the potential of high risk, high return trading strategies. The authors are not shy about pointing out the risks and the recurring theme of having a trading plan. I also agree with a number of the other reviewers that the authors do tend to use a lot of terms (both FX and economic) without real adequate definition, and a few more trading examples would be helpful. Nevertheless, if individual traders follow the advice in the book - particularly around these two subjects (including post-trade analysis) - they shouldn't get burned completely by a very sophisticated and reasonably efficient market. If you are looking to get into FOREX trading, and are new to it, read this book and follow the authors' advice on planning and risk. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,731,871 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #741 in Foreign Exchange (Books) #5,433 in Introduction to Investing #40,578 in Economics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (159) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0470127635 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0470127636 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 338 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2007 | | Publisher | For Dummies | ## Images ![Currency Trading for Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jkS7PDZxL.jpg) ![Currency Trading for Dummies - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Hq1DbMzNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great buy for the money *by G***S on June 19, 2009* There are dozens of books on currency trading, most of them in the $30-60 range, some even higher than that.
