Currency Trading For Dummies Paperback – July 5, 2011

I originally checked this book out, from the Library...in fact...I checked it out several times. Since the Library requests, that you return their books, I finally decided I needed this one, on my own personal Forex Training/Educational shelf.Even though it is written, by a GAIN Capital Strategist, the information is presented in an unbiased and completely educational mode.I would highly recommend this book, to anyone planning to learn how to trade in the Forex Market.

I have been trading currency for about 5 years and this was a good refresher source book for me. Easy to understand and read. Currency trading is not for everyone, but you are think about doing it this would be a good starting book to read. Explains the market and how it works.

The first edition of "Currency Trading for Dummies' was published in 2007 and with the intervening four years, a roller coaster ride for investors, this new second edition can not come at a more convenient time. The 2007 version had two authors, Brian Dolan and Mark Galant, now Dolan remains as the sole author. The book retains its basic structure and accessible format; instructive, approachable, easy to read with a thorough index keyed to what the reader might be looking for. Some subsections have been pushed forward into other chapters and, more importantly, data on currency is updated and some explanations and examples have been brought current in referring to the events of 2008 - 2010. This is a fine and important addition to any investor's library written by experienced knowledgeable traders.

Brian Dolan has a easy practical approach to helping the new trader make sense of the market, general knowledge of the terms, and practical steps toward a successful trade plan.

I just switched to currency from stocks and this book provided a ton of excellent information. I learned a ton from it and highly recommend it to anyone seeking knowledge on the Forex market.

I bought this book knowing next to nothing hoping it would help me understand and perhaps to get me started supplementing my income. However, the author uses a lot of jargon without explaining it such that I felt left out within the first few pages. If you already know a bit about exchange markets perhaps you could get some tips from this, but if you're a complete dummy like me then look elsewhere.

Excellent textbook on learning FX!

for trading, i would recommend this book
