        The information provided in this book is priceless to a novice trader. I highly recommend this particularly. The only problem with this book is the organization of the content; the chapters jump from chapter 10 following chapter 3, and chapter 4 right after the conclusion. However, due to the abundance of useful information in comparison to books I've read prior on the subject did not provide, I still give it a rating of 5 stars.
      • Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015
        I would have given this four stars however it appear that the book publisher was drunk at the wheel: The actual page sequence is actually out of order in several places with the latter pages appearing in the center of the book with at least two pages being printed twice. This is very distracting and detracts from the quality of the product.

        In terms of content the authors give a good introduction to supply and demand and also to the fundamental forces that move the markets. I have never come accross another retail educational FX book do this before. They include money management as well as support and resistance and fibs. This gives this book a lot more depth that other FX books that I have come accross. They do try to advertise their educational service which is a bit of a negative however this book is not a 'teaser' it does have allot of content and does stand on it own.

        However this book was published in 2006 making this about 9 years old (published before the crisis of 2008), I feel that it is in need of a revision especially in their strategy about the carry trade as the markets probably have changed over this period.

        Despite this there is alot of good material here allot of which is timeless however I would want the authors to do an update and also for the publisher to fix the problems before I would reccomend it to others.

        I like this book. It is good for the beginner, though it focuses mainly on fundamentals. The Fundamentals, however are well explained, which is an added plus as I think that not many beginners focus on foundamentals enough.

        Overall I think it was well written and the authors try to throw some humour in there to keep you interested. Go ahead and buy it you will not be disappointed.

      • Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2011
        The value of this book is the clear explanation of what really moves the market. At least 60% of this text discusses fundamental analysis. Once you grasp the concepts in this book, all other attempts to explain fundamentals seem ineffective.

        I use technical analysis to trade and I agree with others that you will not find strategies here that are complete and applicable when you are actually at the console trading. However, without the information in this book you'll seem like a babbling idiot when discussing the Forex market and how world events affect it. Have you ever wondered about the trillion dollar US debt and whether or not the US economy is really in trouble because of it? I read this book about 3 years ago but remembered enough of it to explain to a colleague why the recent tsunami in Japan affected oil price.

        If you want to be a well rounded, well informed trader you must read this. However, if you are looking for are a few winning strategies to apply quickly, skip this book.

        Very clear explanation. It gives you a birds eye view on how a Forex Trading or investing works and it lays down a concrete foundation the basic tools you need to be successful on online training.

        This book is awesome!! It really explains how the Forex markets works. Mr. Jagerson along with his partner really put out a book that anyone can understand without losing you with all the other fluff that other Forex books do.

        Thank You!!!
      • Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2009
        The outstanding feature of the book is that it is associated with the author's website which features introductory podcasts and videocasts. These last two obviate the need to buy the book unless your internet access is spotty. As with most introductory FX books, it contains some pearls of wisdom and mostly the standard hash of fundamentals, chartistry, and theorizing. If you already own such an intro book, it is unlikely that this book will have much added value. However, if this is your first FX book, it is as good as the next.
