what is the best forex book?

It's not only my own experience, it's proven fact nobody can argue with, exhaustive scientific testing in Multicharts, Supercharts, Tradestation, Strategytester, StrategyBuilder, and GTF platform of every timeframe, pair, strategy, and platform. ALL failed, only one TDI variation breaks even. I learned many years ago not to waste any money on all the s*** out there including books, courses, and seminars. As a software engineer for ten years with university advanced statistics and math education and county trained in scientific observation. I debunked many books over the years including clever "confluence" ploys.

Jhon murphy books look for them here is a link http://www.pdfbook.co.ke/details.php...Book&popular=2

I don't think your best bet is to look at forex specific books, rather look towards the quintessential gems of trading and risk management.

Myself recommends, and I'm sure my fellow pipsters agree, that Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street and Faith's Way of the Turtle are "must reads".

I am familiar with the site that u speak of herein. What a bargain. Many of the books that are mentioned in this thread are available for (practically) free download. I just downloaded Kathy Lien's, Ponsi & Mario Singh's (17 Proven Currency Strategies) books.

I liked " Market Wizards " but the best way to start would be with babypips. I will never be able to describe how much this website has helped me. And its free !!

I liked "Market Wizards" as well. Teaches you some fundamental principles of trading if you read between the lines.

What do you guys think of Al Brooks Price Action books?

Trading in the zone is a good read

"Japanese Candlesticks Your Route to Wealth" was an amazing turnaround for me .............it teaches proper price action and gives a great understanding of why the markets are moving in a given direction on a daily basis. The Author was formally a bank trader in forex and gives the exact candles to look for and when the real money is entering the market from the banks...........The information is that precise that I can see the direction of the next day/session and am correct 85%+ of the time ..........Knowing the direction of the day or session then makes it easy for me to trade the lower time frames.

The author is a "candlestick master" and brings a great understanding of "price action" ............ a phrase that he says is banded around the web and has become a sort of power phrase " I trade price action" and know one really knows what that is but they think it sounds good .............Reading his explanation and looking at my charts afterwards the penny finally dropped and it all made sense, he explains the support and resistance in each candle and what to look for and that is the real price action, turned me from a break even trader to now comfortably having returns of 20 to 30% every month. An amazing turnaround and I would say a must read for experienced and beginner alike ..........In the hands of a beginner I think it would fast track them years and for an experienced trader they would be shocked at what they have been missing under their noses all the time .......I know I was

Who's the author of this candlesticks book? It didn't come up on Amazon. I really liked Trade Like a Casino, Market Wizards, and Trading in the Zone.

For a beginner, I got Anna Coulling for my kindle, I liked it much...until I found some other book. I am looking for some book which can help me understand what are different kinds of trends...can practice when to enter or exit in chart...any clue anybody?

Dow Theory, Charles Dow and robert rhea's "the dow theory"

Yeh, agree with u.
I would recommend to read economic books because when you understand all econimical news you will open profitable positions

Hi. Who is the author of that book? I can't find that title on AMZN How does it compare to Nison's or Steve Bigelow's candle books, if u read any of their books? Thanks

Here is my list top trading books. However, just like with a choice of your trading system, everyone has to find theirs.

has anyone read "Inter market analysis" by Ashraf Laidi? wanted to get an opinion if someone has read it.

Wolf, your name is similar to the author of the e-book you are praising highly - "westcountrywolf". You wouldn't be one and the same person, would you?

Not sure how self promotion goes down on this forum but in the interests of full disclosure, probably best to come clean.

The order book

As FX is not centralized, you might have trouble finding that lol... but there are ways to see order flow in FX, it's just a matter of time in the market and how much experience you have.

'Trading from the gut' is a good one though.. or any market wizards book if you want motivational readings.

as per my view i see that also if you are master of something it is not bad to read a new books of the same thing most of the time it gave you new ideas and information

i start reading last week ( the complete idots guide to foreign currency trading second edition for gary tilkin and lita epstein )
it is basic but i am getting something from it

I've read many trading books, but the ones that have been the most beneficial are those dealing with the psychological aspects.

e.g. Ari Kiev's - Trading to Win & Trading in the Zone

Books dealing with technical know-how, surprisingly didn't do much for me.

i have read dalton's books and i use his concepts in futures trading. i am trying to incorporate those concepts into FX. his and stedilmayers books are gem, in my opinion
