1) Page 2, he talks about handling a billion Pound short sell yet in the fifth paragraph he says “We knew the pressure of selling 1 million cable was going to cause a sharp drop in the price of the Pound Sterling.”

2) On page 9 he talks about how to use a stop order, and he uses the example of how you can use it to buy EUR/USD at 135.60 and he says verbatim “To exit the trade, you should it trade down 135.30.” Now, I’m no Forex wiz, but we can all safely say that if EUR/USD ever went to 135.30 the world economy would collapse instantly. He may just be joking here, but the careless typing combined with the ridiculous example leads me to believe this is either a poorly edited or poorly written book.

3) On page 16 he talks about swing highs and swing lows and he says to look at the months of April and October using the previous graph, but the graph only runs from June to March and the month of April is not included.

I could finish the book and write the review then but honestly seeing these 3 errors so far has got me worried about using this text as an instructional basis for a trading endeavor I could lose all of my money in. I might put it on the shelf (or in the dustbin) and use a book from the “For Dummies” series instead, as I’m sure those are read by way more people and therefore is bound to be proof-read more.

This book is also full of extremely clever trading ideas that did make a huge difference in my daily trading.

So buy it, use it, profit from it, this “just meat and potatoes” forex book definitively belongs to your trading library.

I decided to stay with my first idea, so: 2 star, but I’d warn to have a look to the author’s blog and web site to make a picture of what you could find inside the book (not a lot).

This is what I found: the book is too much focused on mental attitude and author’s past experiences (not only on trading); you could like if you want just something to read, but not if you think you’re a balanced person and you’re just looking for trading strategies, not psyco-help.

as far currecnies are concerned: there’s only 1 strategy explained… and it is not enough to me to name this book a “handbook”!

I thought the author was a kind of trading-freak, but when I contacted him via mail.. he didn’t seem to have the same humor he showed on his book.

I think this whole little book is just a big advertisement; if you’re interested in currencies-trading-strategies: search elsewhere.

“Strategies for forex success” is written on the front cover. “Be disciplined”, avoid fear, greed etc. must be the strategies in question.

The so-called strategy 10 just means: take 10 pips profit and run! How great! In total, there is 1 technical strategy involving classic moving averages.

If you trade on emotions or are completely new to trading in general, then this book may help, but many books already do include these “be disciplined” and other comments.

The book is also an advertisement for the author’s websites.

One star to balance the other 5 stars reviews.
