Anyone read this book?

I am extremely new to learning the FOREX market. I became interested because it seems all filthy rich people invest/trade in some sort of market, and FOREX seems like a good one to get into.

I just ordered "Currency Trading for Dummies" off B&N's web site--anyone read this book before? It had a lot of good reviews.

It is the most basic book on forex I have ever read. I would only recommend it if you have no knowledge in forex at all.

Say hello to a guy that has no knowledge in FOREX at all.

What book would you recommend to someone vaguely familiar with FOREX concepts?

The Ten Essentials Of Forex Trading is a good one for a beginner and intermediate.

The Forex Chartist Companion is a good book on Forex and Technical analysis.

Emotion Free Trading is a good book for discipline

Fooled By Randomness is good for a over all discussion of probability

Trade What You See is very good to explain Gartleys, Butterflys, AB=CD and such

A very good book on Elliot Wave theory is
Applying Elliot Wave Theory Profitably

And if you are going to study Elliot, you would be wise to google
Charles Goodman Count System


I think those will get you well on your way.

Thanks a lot.

Anyone else thinks that there is no need to read any books about trading?
Reading a book has never created a single succesful trader.
Everything you will find is available on the internet for free.
I have never spend a dime on any mentorship, book, EA, Signal blabla.

I read everything I can get my hands on. Reading has never been a waste of time for me. I haven't watched TV in years though, so I am probably not the norm. LOL

I generally read about 2 books per week and am actively reading 2 or 3 books at the same time, in different subjects.

IMO, "Forex for Dummies" is much more than just a basic book and an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to learn about forex. If you combine this book with "Technical Analysis for Dummies" and this will create a great foundation for you to learn forex trading.

Neither has reading a web page.

"Currency Trading For Dummies", is one of the first forex book i've bought (i will always remember this moment lol) and in my opinion this is such a great book for every forex beginner... It explains all the basics plus some great technical analysis methods which i still use ! I would recomend every beginner to read this book... According to me, this is a must have.

Best Regards, Samuel.
