Being new to the foreign currency markets I found this book to be very good at answering the questions that I didn’t know or was too embarassed to ask anyone. Clearly written, I think it is a must read for anyone that is thinking about trading currencies, or anyone who has traded currencies but may still have questions.

Not recommended – not what you expect when you buy “Idiot Guides.” I think other books are probably much better. It gave me very little understanding of trading currency, and definitely missed the mark in many areas. There are many grammatical errors, and the author constantly pushes his own website as being the best. He spends little time explaining what actually moves currency prices, which should have been a main topic. Instead, he spends much time discussing things like what kind of computer you need, what a bid/ask is, and how to pick a good broker (use his company)- which most people can figure out for themselves. His chapter on technical analysis is almost comical – it does nothing more than describe what a candlestick chart is, a bar chart, and what a trend is.
The single useful advice I could come up with is his recommendation to cover a loss at a 30 pip decline, and shoot for a 100 pip profit. Otherwise, in many paragraghs he says interest rates boost a currency value and in one paragrapgh they lower a currency value, so I am left wondering which it is…
At this point, I have to buy another book because I basically understand nothing. I still have no idea how brokers charge interest on your margin, or how long people hold currency trades. The author frequently mentions losing everything in a few minutes but does not explain how this happens -ie – why you cannot just wait for it to come back like with stocks and options.
Overall, you will definitely need to buy another book. I think this book was very poorly written and does not convey information well at all.

This is the most helpful book that I found about currency trading. I was a little hesitant to buy it since it only had 3/5 stars on Amazon, but I bought another “idiot’s guide” book for something different and thought I’d try this one out. I love love love this book. It has explained currency trading, and definatley broke the trade down to the simplist level. I also bought currency trading for dummies, and that book is not as helpful. The jargon with “dummies” is to advanced for beginning traders. Idiot’s guide breaks currrency trading down for the average “joe.” I can’t wait to buy “the complete idiot’s guide to technical analysis” next!!

Excellent to undestand FOREX investments. The GFT plattform to open your account is also excellent. Highly recommended.

I’m just killing time with reviews here, otherwise I wouldn’t bother to tell you that. But in general, the whole Idiot’s guide franchise is just a cheezy ripoff of an already cheezy (but still superior) franchise.
To answer another reviewer’s question though, interest rates are good and bad for currencies, depending on what shape to economy is in. If the interest goes up in response to economic growth, it’s good. If it’s to control inflation, it’s bad.
It says that in the For Dummies book, by the way.
