1.0 out of 5 stars No stars would be a better rating..., July 13, 2001

This review is from: Electronic Currency Trading for Maximum Profit: Manage Risk and Reward in the Forex and Currency Futures Markets (Hardcover)

If you have absolutely no knowledge of the Currency Markets then this book may be useful to you. The subtitle of the book is "Manage Risk and Reward in the Forex Markets by Learning How to:..."

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of the book is about Currency Futures and Options but NOT Forex.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointed to have bought this book..., June 12, 2001

This review is from: Electronic Currency Trading for Maximum Profit: Manage Risk and Reward in the Forex and Currency Futures Markets (Hardcover)

This book is not worth the paper that it is printed on. Author does not know the subject, and does not offer any information that could not easily have been obtained online for free. Tried to contact author at his website to answer question and never responded. Classic example of take the money and run. Will never buy a book again from these authors nor from Prima Publishing.

This review is from: Electronic Currency Trading for Maximum Profit: Manage Risk and Reward in the Forex and Currency Futures Markets (Hardcover)

This was a huge disappointment. The book is simplistic, disjointed, and offers nothing that even a novice could use. It has a feeling of being written quickly to cash in on the forex trading phenomenon. Look elsewhere for advice in particular anything by Jack Schwager or by Wiley Press, they are usually excellent.
