Hi all you members!

Thanks for the interesting posts, I have taken much from the Fozzy Forum.

But on a general query can anybody recommend a really good forex book and also is there such a thing as website / thread which lists all the brokers and their various spreads / commission etc?

Regards

Madog

Haven't found any real good actual books about FX... plenty of great ebooks out there though. Mostly they are hidden in the threads in various posts.

Doing a search for "Van Tharp" here on FF may prove useful to you...

Truthfully I find the forums and websites most helpful. As for books I've heard good things about "martin prings, price patterns" I just ordered it myself. Price action can be used with just about any system so it should be helpful. Alternatively you could read the james16 thread he goes over some of the patterns.

Turbo has some book reviews on his website:

Also, when I started out I thought that if the book didn't say Forex then it probably wasn't informative enough. Wrong, books on trading in general are definitely appropriate for Forex.

Also, do a search here at FF for books.
Read the Stickies in the Beginners section. Lots of info there.

Good Luck to you.
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

The others bring a good point... I don't know of any Forex specific books to recommend (again, there are ebooks).

As for trading in general...

I'll second the nomination for "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas.

And I'll add...

"The Psychology of Trading" by Brett Steenberger (may have misspelled the last name on that one - but google the title and his first name and you'll find it).

I too second the previous suggestions.
I just read "Adventures of a Currency Trader" by Rob Booker. Real entertaining and easy to read. Educational too. If you read the stickys at the beginning of this forum you'll find many ebooks and articles that are useful.
Go to Amazon.com and look up forex. Kathy Lien's "Day Trading the Currrency Market" is also good.
goforex.com has broker ratings and comparisons. The bottom of FF home page has a list of preferred brokers. I don't give much weight to the advertised spreads. I use 3 different brokers. Forex.com has the highest spreads, but also the most dependable spreads.

Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John Murphy

If you get it you will see why it is a classic for Technical Analysis.

Anything by Nison on Candlestick charts should round out most of the basics.
