    5.0 out of 5 stars First Forex Book Of Its Kind, August 9, 2006
    By Eric Utley (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
    Disclosure: John and Wade are friends and colleagues of mine.

    I'm a professional trader with over a decade of experience in equity, option, futures, and currency markets. Over my career, I have bought and read hundreds of books on investing, trading, and finance. I've read every investing-related book that I ever bought, but most of them only once. In fact, of the hundreds of investing books in my personal library, I regularly recommend maybe a dozen - the dozen that helped me to make money.

    Profiting With Forex is the book in my library that I recommend to those wanting to learn how to make money in the currency market.

    The reason that I recommend Profiting With Forex is because it's filled with actionable, applicable ideas with which you can actually make money in the currency market. Let me repeat that one more time: The book teaches you how to make money trading currencies.

    Too many authors today use their books as a soapbox. Or they wind down the tedious road of pie-in-the-sky theory. Worse still, a lot of authors don't have any skin in the game. They don't even trade. Fortunately, John and Wade are real traders, who have written the first book on currency trading that is worth reading.

    John and Wade picked a perfect title for their book. Read it. Learn how to make money. This is one of those books that you read, and then re-read many times over.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on Investing I've ever read, August 11, 2006
    By P. Wood (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I purchased this book from Amazon at the time of the release and have been extremely impressed by the informative way Mr. Jagerson and Mr. Hansen present their ideas. Like the previous reviewer, I also had the first 70 pages repeated. I sent the book back to the publisher and received a new copy with the correct pages. A simple fix.

    I have been an active trader in stocks and options for nearly 10 years and in the forex market for approximately two years. After reading "Profiting with Forex" I feel like I know as much or more about making money in the forex market as I do in the stock market.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts out the fluff and talks about what you really need to know., August 17, 2006
    I have been trading the forex for years and read many books on the subject only to find most of them so basic they weren't worth my time or so complex you need an advanced degree in economics to get it. Mr. Jagerson and Hansen have bridged that gap.

    Unlike many books I have read that talk theory Profiting with Forex laid out specific methods to trade such as divergences, Fibonacci retracements and fundamental trades. Economic announcements are always a challenge in the forex market. This book cuts through the pile of economic announcements and specifically states which announcements you need to be concerned with, and how to play them. The chapter on China was informative and something everyone needs to understand because China's presence will continue to grow and influence the world economy.

    Having read the book I must say I have a better handle on the world economy, what influences it, and how to take advantage of it now.
