Forex Book

The Currency Trader’s Handbook (Strategies for Forex Success)is a 2006 book on Forex trading written by a very popular author, mentor and Forex guru, Rob Booker. It can be recommended either for the beginners of the currency trading or for those who already know the basics and have fundamental and technical skills but wish to develop a good and effective trading strategy. But the biggest advantage of Rob Booker and this book in particular is that it’s very easy and interesting to read and even those who know nothing about Forex (or even financial trading) will find it fun, amusing and captivating. The book is also very short and can be read in an hour or two without any serious efforts. So, that’s just 1–2 hours of your life for some seriously experienced trading recommendations that can be used for life.

Currency Strategy — a Practioner’s Guide to Currency Trading, Hedging and Forecasting is a fundamental Forex book written by Callum Henderson and is quite unique in its own way. It doesn’t describe the techniques of Forex trading but rather shows the mechanics that lies behind the foreign currencies exchange market, the fundamental background of the currencies. It offers an extensive array of fundamental analysis techniques and models that can be used to determine the levels of strength of the particular currencies or groups of currencies. «Currency Strategy» goes also into the risk management and control field to teach the reader how to properly manage currency trading, hedging or to produce quality Forex forecasts. If you are a fan of technical analysis, this book won’t be very useful to you, but if you are fundamental trader — this is one of the best books on the topic you can ever encounter.

Technical Analysis of the Currency Market is a book written by famous Forex market analyst Boris Schlossberg (he have been working for such industry giants as FXCM and GFT). The book is very easy to read, well structured and explains the most popular and basic techniques that can be used by almost any beginning trader. It won’t teach you how to become rich, it also can’t help yo if you are already an experienced Forex trader; but if you are relatively new to Forex and are longing to the technical trading, this e-book will allow you to master all the aspects of currency trading: charts, patterns, trends, ranges, Fibonacci, money management. The final chapter is a real cherry on top as it puts everything together and explains how to actually apply all the knowledge that is shared in the previous chapters.
