The book is written by one of the Turtle Traders — Curtis Faith. The experiment has successfully showed that the a newbie trader may taught trading skills quite fast and that almost everyone can trade profitably given these necessary skills. Way of the Turtle offers the main ideas behind the original Turtle Rules offered by Richard Dennis with various additions and development from Curtis Faith. Like the original Turtles experiment intended, this book will also teach you everything you need to become a successful financial trader even without a previous experience in the field.

The 10 Essentials of Forex Trading (The Rules for Turning Trading Patterns into Profit) is a complete Forex trading guide written by a prominent expert in currency market Jared Martinez. Although the book is more suited for the beginner traders, some of the information in it might come to use even for the skilled Forex market operators. The main focus of the book is on the technical indicators and various chart objects (e.g. Fibonacci retracements, support/resistance levels, trendlines, etc.) Fundamental analysis is also covered, though the attention paid to this part can’t be compared with the technical analysis part. In the end, both the money management guidance and suggestions for the further steps are given to the reader. All in all, it’s quite a good book with its own minor disadvantages and average advantages. If it won’t make the next George Soros, it will definitely set you up on a right track, preparing your for a deeper and more complex Forex reading.
