Disappointing,
By G Ramesh (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Foreign Exchange and Currency Options: A Practitioner's Guide to the Mechanics of the Markets (Paperback)
The book will certainly not help you to Master the FX & Currency Options : It is just a collection of articles by various people - it offers not many insights and does not help you to understand the nitty gritties : in fact I felt that a novice like me could also collect information from a number of sources and cook it up into a book of my own. In short a waste of money and time... sorry to have to say this !

Good for terminology, but no substitute for experience,
By Matthew Trump (Staten Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Foreign Exchange and Currency Options: A Practitioner's Guide to the Mechanics of the Markets (Paperback)
As an IT professional who needed to master many facets of foreign exchange rather quickly, I found this book to be helpful in gaining an ear for the terminology and basic concepts, as well as basic jargon of traders. This book might be best used as a companion to a course on the same subject, as it might give you an alternate explanation of the same subjects.
