Forex For Ambitious Beginners: A Guide to Successful Currency Trading Paperback – June 29, 2012

This book is not necessarily a reference book but i definitely use it for one. I will occasionally go back through it if I forget something forex related.

good starter book a lot of good information, but I feel that there is a good bit more to know

Jelle does a great job of showing you the territory and giving you a good idea of where to start and exactly what to do. I'm a beginner but I read most of the book before I started a practice account and it helped tremendously. I tried the author's suggestions and they work. You make a huge mistake unless you set TP and SL with every trade. The review of technical trading, range, and trend trading was very good without weighing you down with too much information. I will say that the one deficiency of the book was that it didn't give you enough real time trading information sources; i.e., where to find Federal Reserve, EU, and economic source information, but that comes naturally. Good read on a tough subject. Thanks Jelle.

Great beginner course with some clear insight to what the FOREX market is all about and how to prepare yourself to trade. Covering the basics without fluff or going on about a subject once the point is made. A good read for any and all beginners

This is my first book on Forex trading, so I have nothing to compare it to. So this review is for the book contents and what I like or hated about it.The book covers the basics as implied by its tittle. Don't expect in-depth analysis or fancy detailed trading strategies. The book is properly paced and not boring -at least if you're interested on learning.The language is clear enough for beginners, but the author makes a big mistake that is consistent throughout the book: tries to explain topics using jargon that is at best latter on explained on the book. So you have to go to the internet and figure out the words or concept we fails to explain earlier as it should be. I must say that while this is a big pitfall as a writer, it's good for you as reader as it forces you to spend several hours (given you have the time) on the internet reading the overwhelming amount of information found there, which helps you to diversify what you are reading on the book.I gave it 3 stars mostly for the lack of figures/graphics that would help to understand the concepts he tries to come across. The quantity of figures is extremely short and makes your imagination soar figuring out how things look like. The author failed to understand than since most interesting concepts about forex trading are closely related with the charts, these are of paramount importance to explain clearly and succinctly. It's a shame the book is so short of graphics coz otherwise would be a great book.At last, it's unbelievable that the author, the editor and however proofread the book (if somebody ever did that) failed to notice the basic arithmetics errors on the examples used to explain EVP.The bottom line: the book is worth it if you're a beginner and feel overwhelm by the information found on the internet.

great book

Very informative book! I think it could have included more actual trading examples with information about the results of the trades.

Excellent beginner text or review. Well written. Best forex book I have read so far!!
