Customer Reviews

Forex
Whilst this book is a great introduction to the FOREX market for beginners, it is unfortunately littered with typos and spelling errors. Complete phrases are missing and many of the graphs are unreadable. The author is aware of this fact and has promised that the Second Edition will be better.

Good Text Content - Rubbish graphs.
The book is aimed at all levels of trader, but I think a absolute beginner would need an absolute leap of faith to trade without doing a bit more research - but then perhaps slightly more than a little knowledge is dangerous. The content is good, though. It certainly does what it reckons to do - give you a strategy to enter, exit and manage trades as Raghee alegedly does. What it doesn't do (and doesn't purport to, to be fair) is explain in detail various chart patterns, indicators etc - there are plenty of books that will teach you more about these.
It's great let down is the ridiculously small size of the charts - some are virtually unreadable without a magnifying glass. They really do detract from the learning experience as much concentration is given over to just deciphering the charts rather than the content of the chart an text. Also there are phrases missing and references to the occasional wrong chart or pattern. If you want this book just for a bit of reading I'd await a second edition assuming the faults will be put right - only buy this version if you can't wait. I've emailed the raghee web site to see if they intend putting the charts in the book up for download. As you will see, the web site is rather impersonal with no true contact email and seems to be one big money go round in true American trader fashion.
