Currency Trading For Dummies Paperback – July 5, 2011

I originally checked this book out, from the Library...in fact...I checked it out several times. Since the Library requests, that you return their books, I finally decided I needed this one, on my own personal Forex Training/Educational shelf.Even though it is written, by a GAIN Capital Strategist, the information is presented in an unbiased and completely educational mode.I would highly recommend this book, to anyone planning to learn how to trade in the Forex Market.

I have been trading currency for about 5 years and this was a good refresher source book for me. Easy to understand and read. Currency trading is not for everyone, but you are think about doing it this would be a good starting book to read. Explains the market and how it works.

The author knows a lot about Forex and overall this is a must-read book for anyone into this market. However, the author doesnt explain what ecn/stp/dd brokers are (and why you should run away from dd), tries to make the reader think that opening an account outside the USA is riskier, and finally states that leverage above 50:1 isnt a good thing. Perhaps all this is because the Author works for a dd (dealing desk) brokerage in the USA, where leverage is limited... All in all you should read this book, but be critical and dont take every statement as absolute truth, as there are interests in play here.

Brian Dolan has a easy practical approach to helping the new trader make sense of the market, general knowledge of the terms, and practical steps toward a successful trade plan.

I just switched to currency from stocks and this book provided a ton of excellent information. I learned a ton from it and highly recommend it to anyone seeking knowledge on the Forex market.

Excellent textbook on learning FX!

I bought this book knowing next to nothing hoping it would help me understand and perhaps to get me started supplementing my income. However, the author uses a lot of jargon without explaining it such that I felt left out within the first few pages. If you already know a bit about exchange markets perhaps you could get some tips from this, but if you're a complete dummy like me then look elsewhere.

for trading, i would recommend this book
