Review: This book is a useful starting point for those who want to enter the world of currency trading or rather Forex. It seems that both authors are actual Forex traders who know this market. This is a great plus for the book. Among good features of the book I can mention the following.
The Book Title and its Content Match
The Arrangement of the Content is Very Good
It Opens the Doors of Knowledge to the Reader
Useful Topics
Chapter 8 clearly explains profit/loss calculations through some practical examples. The examples and the text help the reader have an insight of important concepts such as leverage, margin, cross pairs and much more. I strongly recommend that you read this chapter twice and understand every calculation. Just a bit of promoting me, you may also read my tutorial about the concept of PIP along this chapter [link].
Chapter 9 is very short yet very useful. It opens the doors to the world of Money Management and Trading Psychology. These are two important aspects of trading and probably the most important aspects which unfortunately many traders do not take them very seriously. I strongly suggest that you not only read this chapter but focus on these two important aspects through online resources or other books in the market.
Conclusion
If you want to start trading currency this book is a must for you. It helps you to understand what you are up to. I suggest that you read the book once. Then continue learning by demo trading, reading online material, and studying other books. Eventually after 3 to 6 months read this book again. You will then find more leads to grow your knowledge. This book does not make you a trader. It does not offer you profitable strategies. What it does is an open invitation to the world of Forex with more understanding of what you are probably going to do.
