3.0 out of 5 stars Good as a textbook, but inadequate as a trading guide, October 4, 2009

This review is from: Trading in the Global Currency Markets, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)

If you are new to FX and want to know as much basic and background info. as possible, this will satisfy you well. However, the introduction of Gann Fan and Ichimoku Cloud, despite nice, does not make up for its overall inadequacy as a trading book, particularly on TA, trading psychology and risk management, in one of the most competitive/choppy markets where the fatality rate is over 90%. If you really read to trade, "Trading for a living", "High Probability Trading" and "Trading rules that work" are much better choices.
