Only one thing has been missing: An objective, clear "user's guide" to Forex trading. Now it's here—and it's in your hands.

Simply and clearly, Forex Revolution reveals everything you need to know to trade Forex hands-on—from fundamental and technical trading strategies to the unyielding discipline that's essential to success.

In this book, Peter Rosenstreich brings together insider techniques from all over the industry: Traders, banks, Forex firms, even the National Futures Association. You'll find expert guidance on everything from handling 24/7 markets to profiting from the emergence of China.

  • Why Forex has become your #1 profit opportunity
    How the currency markets became indispensable to the active investor

  • Meet the players, markets, tools, portals, and platforms
    Everything you should know before you get started

Today's growing currency volatility has made Forex the place to earn huge profits. Think Forex is just for secretive financiers and central bankers? Not any more! The rules have changed, and this book shows you exactly how to get in on the action.

No other book offers as much unbiased, practical, how-to guidance for trading from Forex.

Above all, Mr. Rosenstreich tells you the whole truth: How currency markets work, how to trade, what the risks are, what to do about them...and what it really takes to win.

From the Back Cover

"For many investors, an intense, 24-hour-a-day, $1.5 trillion roller-coaster of a market spells "danger"; for readers of Forex Revolution, the word is "opportunity."

–Michael J. Panzner, vice president, Rabo Securities USA, Inc., and author of The New Laws of the Stock Market Jungle

"The author possesses an uncommon ability to describe a difficult and rapidly changing marketplace as if seen through a beginner's eyes. A most useful book for anyone that might not have been paying attention these past five years as the market reinvented itself."

–Brentin C. Elam, director, Northcoast Asset Management, LLC

3.0 out of 5 stars Just an overview, July 6, 2005
By Christopher Martin (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're looking for just a high level overview of the Forex market, this is probably a good start. It is not, however, a system or technique. Essentially, the author states that each trader needs to develop their own that works for their personality. Personally, I think a lot of what is in the book seems like just a long encyclopedia article -- all valid data but short of insight and any real meat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Basics, January 15, 2006
Author Peter Rosenstreich's short, concise guide is a neophyte's introduction to the world of foreign exchange trading. Its chief virtue is that it warns against trading if you don't have a strategy and some level of technology. Its chief vice is the suggestion that it is realistic for individual investors to expect to make money in the foreign exchange markets. The author cautions against the risks of the market (and gives good advice on spotting the most egregious frauds), but even to suggest that an individual retail trader equipped with an Internet connection, a news feed, a research source and a charting service can hope to succeed in Forex investing is a bit misleading. Perhaps, it would have been more enlightening if the author had discussed the competition that confronts the potentially foolhardy neophyte, in terms of equipment, technology and expertise. That said, readers will gain an elementary - but not really an insider's - acquaintance with the ABCs of the Forex markets and will learn the names of key agencies and approaches. We find that the book's most useful attributes include references to further reading that should deter novices from attempting to trade their own money in the foreign exchange markets. For solid basics, read on - but zip your wallet.

5.0 out of 5 stars for both laypeople and professionals..., August 26, 2005
By S. Schneider (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
As a really under-informed layperson, I found this book enormously useful for its clear explanations of what had been (to me, at least) a completely unknown investment area. But I have to say that I enjoyed this book just as much for the opportunity to peer into the lives of the foreign exchange traders themselves--the hours they keep, the challenges in the field. I enjoyed (funny to say this about a financial book...) Forex Revolution for these good human-interest stories as well as for its valuable insights into what I'd always assumed was a very arcane subject. No more, thanks to Rosenstreich's new book.
