1.0 out of 5 stars All about discipline. Nothing new., May 31, 2007

This review is from: The Currency Trader's Handbook: Strategies For Forex Success (Paperback)

This booklet is about "be disciplined" and take away emotions, from the beginning to the end.

"Strategies for forex success" is written on the front cover. "Be disciplined", avoid fear, greed etc. must be the strategies in question.

The so-called strategy 10 just means: take 10 pips profit and run! How great! In total, there is 1 technical strategy involving classic moving averages.

If you trade on emotions or are completely new to trading in general, then this book may help, but many books already do include these "be disciplined" and other comments.

The book is also an advertisement for the author's websites.

One star to balance the other 5 stars reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forex Guidelines, April 5, 2007

This review is from: The Currency Trader's Handbook: Strategies For Forex Success (Paperback)

This book or booklet is a valuable guide if you are on your first steps in learning how to become a Foreigh Exchange or currency trader. Note this book won't teach you the in depth way to trade but will guide you so that your expectations are realistic, you won't get discouraged, and hopefully inspire you to "paper trade" initially until you have developed your own trading system that consistently is profitable for you. I would suggest reading the author's other book...Adventures of a Currency Trader. That was a good light read and probably mimics what a lot of people initially do when they decide they want to currency trade.

you will get lots of joks and little wisdom, but nothing more. what he call "strategy" is very poor but if you want more, go to his website and subscrib; this is his message. I hope you can find something more and if you do, please write it here to us. go to the internet and watch him talking and joking; if this is what you are looking for, go ahead and buy the book and even subscribe to his "service". I will never read for him any more. good luck
