Foreign-exchange-market Books

The main thrust of this book is the development of new and powerful symmetry relationships in the values of options in foreign exchange markets. What makes these relationships really interesting -- and useful -- is that the authors show that they are valid in all markets. For example, no assumptions are needed on the existence of probability distributions. The final symmetries are easily understood and introduced using language from physics. This stuff should be in all books on mathematical finance. Traders, financial professionals, students and academics will find this book useful.

Get ready to take any book with "How to Buy Technology Stocks" in the title OFF your bookshelf and get ready to replace it with books like this one. You'd be crazy not to. And when you read it, you'll also get great advice from the author about the foreign market investment strategies you'd be crazy not to adopt.

This book satisfies its promise of being a clearly-written introduction to investing in overseas markets. I've read a lot of investing books recently which claim to offer contrarian investment strategies that will allow you to beat the market by going against the crowd. No other book has made it easier to understand how country funds operate, where they are traded, and what your best choices will be.

This book delivers sound and practical advice, but still manages to keep the reader entertained through the use of humor and analogy. I liked it because it appealed to my common sense with just the right blend of technical language and simple terminology. It should appeal to investors at just about every level. I haven't seen many books on this topic (which is sure to become a hot one)...but I expect the style and clarity of this book will make it a standard item on the smart investor's bookshelf.

In "Wealth by Association" John Edmunds and John Marthinsen show how the world can move forward to a single global currency. Not only will such a world save on the hundreds of billions of dollars annually wasted today on foreign exchange trading transaction costs, and on avoided currency crises and on avoided currency inflation; the assets of the world will grow because of the elimination of currency risk.
If the decision makers of the world could read this book, they would push much more rapidly toward a single global currency. The concepts in "Wealth by Association" are not rocket science, as the authors show how the U.S. Dollar and the old German Mark are/were "common currencies", as is now the euro.

WE ALL KNOW THAT STATISTICS IS A METHOD OF INTERPRETATION.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF BOOKS NAMED "LYING WITH STATISTICS"

The professional historians faint as prominent mathematician Doctor Fomenko et al research the known historical data and come to fairly controversial conclusions.

For example, the English historians rage at the suggestion that the history of Ancient England was de facto a Byzantine import transplanted to the English soil by the fugitive Byzantine nobility. As the sign of recognition of the special role of the English historians who consider themselves the true scribes of World History, the cover of the present book portrays Tintoretto's Jesus Christ crucified on the Big Ben.

The Russian historians brand it as pseudoscience because Dr Fomenko asserts that there was no such thing as the Tartar and Mongol invasion followed by over two centuries of slavery, providing a formidable body of documental evidence to prove his assertion. The so-called `Tartars and Mongols' were the actual ancestors of the modern Russians, living in a trilingual state and aspiring Global Empire with Arabic and Turkic spoken as freely as Russian.

The ancient proto-Russian state was governed by a double structure of civil and military authorities and the hordes were actually professional armies with a tradition of lifelong conscription (the recruitment being the so-called `blood tax'). Their `invasions' were punitive operations against the regions that attempted tax evasion.

Fomenko proves for a fact that official Russian history is a blatant forgery concocted by a host of German scholars brought to Russia by the usurper dynasty of the Romanovs. Their ascension to the throne was the result of conspiracy, so they charged these German historians-imports with the noble mission of making Romanov's reign look legitimate.

Dr Fomenko et al prove Ivan the Terrible to be a collation of four rulers, no less. These rulers represented the two rival dynasties - the legitimate Godounovs and the ambitious Romanov upstarts.

The European historians fume not only because Fomenko blows consensual Russian history to smithereens, successfully removing a crucial cornerstone from underneath the otherwise impeccable edifice of World History but for asserting that all medieval European Kings and Princes were but breakaway vice-regents and vassals of the Global Empire who badly needed glorious and very `ancient' past in order to legitimize their new independence from the Empire.

Dr Fomenko adds insult to injury, wiping out one by one: the Ancient Rome: the foundation of Rome in Italy is dated to the 14th century A. D., the Ancient Greece and its numerous poleis, which he identifies as the mediaeval crusader settlements on the territory of Greece, the Ancient Egypt: the pyramids of Giza become dated to the 11th to 14th century A. D. and identified as the royal cemetery of the Global Empire, no less.

The civilization of the `ancient'' Egypt is irrefutably dated to the 11th to 15th century A. D. following the breakthrough in decoding of the ancient Egyptian horoscopes cut in stone and painted on the temple walls.

Arabic historians may find some consolation in the crucial historical role of the Ottoman Empire as a part of the Global empire in the 15th - 17th century. The trouble is that this Empire was initially a proto-Christian state, with Hagia Sophia identifiable as Temple of Solomon, but built in 1550-1557 A.D. by Sultan Suleiman according to Fomenko and Islam with all its key figures is datable to 15th 16th century A. D.!

The Chinese historians are also an unhappy lot because Fomenko wipes out the Ancient History of China outright. No such history. Period. The compilation of the so-called Ancient Chinese History is reliably datable to the 17th 18th century only. It is perfectly recognizable as the Ancient European history, reworked and transcribed in hieroglyphs as yet another historical transplantation.

The Divinity excommunicates Dr Fomenko because the history of religions according to Fomenko looks as follows: the pre-Christian period (before the 11th century and Jesus Christ ), Bacchic Christianity (11th to 12th century, before and after Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ Christianity (12th to 14th century) and its subsequent mutations (15th to 17th cy) into Orthodox Christianity, the Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, and so on..; and The Old Testament written after the New Testament in xiv-xvi cy A.D., if you please! Everybody served? Saint Augustine was quite prescient when he said: "be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth."

this book is absolute garbage. the author has no concept of history and completely disregards the archaeological and historical record. If you you want to know more about ancient history, go to the experts. heck, even Livy is better than this guy!

Looking through this book reminded me of the movie "A Beautiful Mind". A brilliant mathematician constructs a fantasy world complete in every detail. The only problem is that it doesn't exist, and that he's as mad as a hatter.

Just two examples of the many "possibilities" suggested by our schizoid author:

(1) The Biblical flood and the Trojan War were the same event because Noah was Aeneas, who fled Troy to found Rome. (Noah and Aeneas had names that sound alike. Thus it is proven.)

(2) Nine kings fled the fall of the Tower of Babel and seven kings founded Rome. Therefore, Rome was founded by the kings who fled the fall of the Tower of Babel. (In the author's words, the Biblical figure of nine is "close enough" to the Roman figure of seven.)

Need I go on?

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RAZQNMXM4M9CL Has history been tampered with? Yes, it has! Did events and eras such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Roman Empire , the Dark Ages, and the Renaissance, actually occur within a very different chronology from what we've been told? Yes, they certainly did!

The history of humankind is both drastically shorter and dramatically different than generally presumed.

Why is it so? On one hand, it was usual custom to justify the claims to title and land by age and ancestry, and on the other the court historians knew only too well how to please their masters. The so called universal classic world history is a pack of intricate lies for all events prior to the 16th century. World history as we learn it today was entirely fabricated in the 16th-18th centuries. It's likely that nobody told you before, but

there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artefact that is reliably and independently dated prior to the 11th century.

Naturally, after what you've learned in school and university, you will not easily believe that the classical history of ancient Rome, Greece, Asia, Egypt, China, Japan, India, etc., is manifestly false.

You will point accusing finger to the pyramids in Egypt, to the Coliseum in Rome and Great Wall of China etc., and claim, aren't they really ancient, thousands of years ancient? Well, there is no valid scientific proof that they are older than 1000 years!

The oldest original written document that can be reliably dated belongs to the 11th century!

New research asserts that Homo sapiens invented writing (including hieroglyphics) only 1000 years ago. Once invented, writing skills were immediately and irreversibly put to the use of ruling powers and science.

The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the 16th century by the Jesuits.

The world history was compiled from contradictory mix of innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts and other irrefutable proofs delivered by late mediaeval astronomers that were cemented by the authority of writings of the Church Fathers.

Early in life, we learn about ancient history. Children love the magical lessons of history - they are like fairy tales. Teachers recite breathtaking stories; very soon We learn by heart the names and deeds of brave warriors, wise philosophers, fabulous pharaohs, cunning high priests and greedy scribes.

We learn of gigantic pyramids and sinister castles, kings and queens, dukes and barons, powerful heroes and beautiful ladies, emaciated saints and low-life traitors.

Ancient history is based documents, manuscripts, printed books, paintings, monuments and artefacts - called primary sources.

The problem is that neither these ancient documents, nor events described therein can be irrefutably dated, moreover they contradict each other for the most part.

When a school textbook tells us that Genghis Khan in year X or Alexander in year Y, have each conquered half of the world, it means only that it is so said in some of the written sources.

There are no answers to simple questions:

When were these primary sources written?

Where and by whom were these sources found?

It is wrongly presumed that ancient and medieval chronicles, written by Genghis Khan's or Alexander the Great contemporaries and eyewitnesses, are readily available. Actually, only sources written hundreds or even thousands of years after the events are there, compiled mostly in the 16th 18th centuries, or even later.

As a rule, these sources suffered considerable multiple manipulations, falsifications and distortions by editing. At the same time,

innumerable originals of ancient documents under various pretexts were destroyed in Europe under various pretexts.

The names of persons and geographical sites often changed meaning and location during the course of the centuries.

Geographical locations became clearly defined on maps only with the advent of printing.

This made possible the circulation of identical copies of the same map for purposes of the military, navigation, education and governance tasks.

Historians from Oxford say: "hey, everybody knows that Julius Caesar lived in the first century B.C.

`Julius Caesar' statement is only a point of view as

there is simply no irrefutable documentary proof that Julius Caesar or any other great name of antiquity ever existed.

Better than that - extremely rare sources that can be reliably dated back to the 10th-14th centuries A D, do not show the polished picture of classical history.

They show a picture both contradictory and confusing.

All methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts are erroneous:

Radio-carbon C14 method produces dating with exactitude of plus minus 1500 years, therefore it is too crude for dating of events in historical timeframe!

The Almagest tractate, which lies as corner stone contemporary chronology, compiled in the 2nd century A D by Ptolemy, the founding father of astronomy, contains astronomical data of 9th to 16th century!

The Bronze Age,that has supposedly began 5000 years ago. Bronze is made of 90% copper and 10% tin, but the technology for tin extraction dates back to 14th century A D!.

All eclipses contained in manuscripts, like Thucydides one, relating 'ancient' events have exclusively medieval dating. All horoscopes cut in stone or painted in Egyptian temples, like Dendera have exclusively early medieval dating solutions.

Not quite what you have learned in school? Open your eyes, and, you will find sufficient proof to reach step by step the inevitable conclusion that the classical chronology is false and therefore, that the history of ancient and medieval world universally accepted today, is also false. Have a fresh outlook on everything said or printed about "ancient" and "enigmatic" Roman, Greek and Egyptian, medieval as well as all other "lost and found" civilizations.

Antiquity and Dark Ages are phantoms invented in the 16th 18th and polished in 19th 20thcenturies. Human civilization is in fact barely 1000 years old!

This book will change your perception of History forever!
What if Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were invented during Renaissance?
What if The Old Testament was a rendition of events of the Middle Ages?
What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?
Sounds Unbelievable?
Not after you've read "History: Fiction or Science?" by Anatoly Fomenko, the genius mathematician.
Armed with astronomy and computers Anatoly Fomenko turns History into a rocket science.

Ed Ponsi's explanation of trading strategies for trending and range bound markets is a well written publication. Although one would not expect him to demonstrate everything that is needed to be known on this subject what he does cover is certainly drawn from his past experience and as such extremely informative. Bottom line is though if you are new to forex it is a must read especially since the potential pitfalls of the trade are definitely well highlighted.

I read many trading related books over the last 5 years and I mean to absolutely score this book with 5 stars. It's simply excellent! The author uses a very simple and familiar explanation scheme to descibe some simple yet effective strategies to profit in the forex market in practically any time frame. He also explains the underlying psychological factors which cause certain patterns to develop, creating the so called "tendencies" that, once understood, may be fully exploited to cash in some good profits. I really like Ed Ponsi because he wants to make you understand that great targets can be achieved through simple and linear reasoning and through hard work (which trading should be supposed to be), leaving too complex strategies to other market actors. Reading this book you will realize that Ed ponsi is a real genius in his total genuinity and simplicity.

Excellent book which everyone who is new to forex trading should read and backtest strategies discussed by the author.

This book is packed with lots of information for a new trader like me. I wish this was the first book I bought about forex trading.

What a great book on trading, by far the best I've read on Forex (and I've read most of them). The book begins with an overview of Forex, but doesn't get bogged down in minutiae - instead, the author lays out the groundwork and explains what he calls the "playing field" of Forex. Then, he shifts into high gear, blasting out one fully developed strategy after another. Entire chapters are devoted to individual strategies for ways to trade trending markets, and there is no filler or wasted time. Once he has taught us several strategies to take advantage of trending markets, then he teaches tactics for those times when the market is not trending - including my personal favorite, "The Boomerang", which is designed to fade moves at certain times of day. It's all incredibly clean and logical, and practical - this is stuff you can actually use! This book is absolutely brilliant and deserving of all the praise it receives.

I believe the author accomplished exactly what he meant to accomplish with this book. Some folks who gave less than stellar reviews were concerned that the book offered no in depth analysis on Harry's systems or was a bit unrealistic in the way Harry bounced back into becoming a good trader. My understanding of the overall theme, which is pointed out in the epilogue, is that one should stick to the "laws" of trading. Excellent book. Took me only a couple days to read and loved every moment of it.

Though this book is based upon a fictional character as to how one got started into trading, it provides a very interesting reading into the psychology of a trader's mind. Do not expect the book to present any strategies for trading, it makes one think before acting. Have a plan before entering a trade instead of shooting by the hip....

I thought this book was done just fine..!!
Rob Booker really wrote a book that happens to capture the mindset of every trader just starting out.
I liked the fact that the book has a variety of scenarios, which encourages the trader in all of us to think outside the box.
I look forward to reading other books that Rob wrote.

Una manera muy didactica, y divertida la que nos presenta rob en su historia de Sr Banes. Excelente

cubre los aspectos que uno como trader novato comete, por que tiene que cometer.

Gracias Rob

This is the best book I've read so far on trading. If you have ever traded currencies, or are thinking about it, you need to check this title out. There is a little bit (or a lot) of Harry Banes in all of us! Read this book before you take your next trade!

The book has good a content for a beginner. For a more advanced forex person this book is too basic, that is why I give 3 stars.

For anyone that is looking to enter the world of currency trading and investing, this book is a must-read. After reading this book, I acquired a solid basic knowledge of this area of financing. Burrell starts with the history of currency and banking, and finishes with procedures that will help you to analyze the market, as well as yourself.

The first chapters explain currency trading and the history of the banks and other financial giants that have an affect on the currency market. I felt the urge to skip these chapters due to dry subject matter and a lot of abbreviations, yet realized that this information would help me to understand how these financial giants affect the financial world. The remaining chapters involve terminology and the actual processes needed for analyzing the markets. Burrell also explains the present online trading and investing practices, as well as the pitfalls to avoid. The final chapters explain how currency trading can affect a person, and some things to consider before entering into this area of trading and investment.

Not being financially proficient, I was impressed with Burrell's writing. Her way of teaching was simple enough, yet was written respectfully as far as the level of vocabulary that he used. The information that Burrell provides is useful and to the point. This book is not for casual reading; it is meant to be studied. I would recommend this book for people wanting to learn the basics when contemplating entering the world of currency trading.

The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing discusses currency trading as well as introduces the reader to currency trading products and markets. This trading guide flows seamlessly from one topic to the next. The manual on trading starts out by describing the major currency markets and electronic trading strategies. Jamaine Burrell gives an excellent description of currency trading fees. The author explains that fundamental analysis and technical trading indicators influence the currency market. A prospective customer can check the firm's regulatory record with the National Futures Association for trades based in the United States or with foreign regulatory agencies if the trader is based outside the United States.

Each currency trade is based on a pair of currencies that will be traded. The first currency is the currency bought (the bid/buy price) and the second is the currency sold or the ask price). Currency trading is a thinly-regulated, twenty-four hour international securities market. Forex is a very large foreign exchange electronic market. The National Futures Administration overseas the future markets. The role as well as the history of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Fed is described. Foreign regulators are listed and described as well as the types of currency trades that are prevalent in overseas currency markets
The guide describes Forex trading platforms and foreign exchange market conditions. The guide explains how political and economic indicators shape currency markets. The types of trades are defined and described. There are spreads, forwards, options, foreign exchange and swaps. Jamaine Burrell warns the novice currency trader against trading forwards, futures since they are not as closely regulated. These types of currency trades are most frequently associated with fraud. The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing: How to Earn High Rates of Return Safely and Take Control of Your Investments

The Foreign Exchange Market is where world currencies are bought and sold, serving as the largest financial trade market in the world with an estimated $1.9 trillion generated per day. While not everyone understands the ins and outs of currency trading and investing, this complete guide will explain to readers how this economic machine works and impacts their success rate with their personal investments.

Serious investors know they must diversify their portfolio, but rarely consider currency trading. This book navigates the Foreign Exchange Market and futures markets, providing basic information for novice traders to help them notch up their investments and enjoy not just a financial gain, but an information gain, as well.

The book starts out simply addressing currently trading, including the G8, Central Banks, the International Monetary Fund and the role of currency traders. With not enough information out there on this subject, novice traders will be encouraged to find detailed information about Central Banks, ranging from how to peg the U.S. dollar to the role of the Maastricht Treaty, the Bank of Japan and foreign currency like the Euro, the Yen, the British Pound and the Swiss Franc.

Novice traders will glean valuable information about the Foreign Exchange Market and trading. They'll learn about click and deal trading, retail platforms, paper trading, micro accounts and the common forms of trading: spot trading, forwards trading, options trading and futures trading.

It's important to know the lingo involved in trading and this book shares the terms and definitions of common speak used in this field, as well as the mechanics of the Foreign Exchange Market. The appendix of this book provides pertinent and valuable information for those readers wanting to learn even more about this subject, such as Web sites and charts.

I opened this book with no idea what to expect as I was not familiar with the idea of currency trading. But in the first chapter I was provided with a detailed description of what currency trading is - trading of world currencies on the Foreign Exchange Market (Forex), the largest financial trade market in the world.

Following a brief introduction to various international currencies, I was educated as to the major financial entities that influence the market greatly, including some that were familiar to me such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In detail, the book educates readers on how the viability of the U.S. Dollar comes into play in more than 90% of all currency trading. With a true global look at the many ways currency can be traded and how one can put into place many trading avenues, its understandable how one can make a living as a currency trader. The book examines various types of trades on the Forex as well as brokers, dealers and accounts.

This would be a great reference tool for anyone with some sort of a financial background, but a little difficult to follow if you have never been exposed to the financial arena.

First, I would like to say that I have read over 15 books from the last 2 years on forex and this book has been the easiest and most informative book that I have read. It goes thru the technical and fundamentals of forex like no other book. I have read this book 3 times and I am still learning new things. It gets right down to what you as a forex trader need to know before going live. His methods of trading will last a lifetime. I was recommended this book and now I would like to tell others. The best $45.00 I ever spent. I can't wait for his next book.

Excellent product. A must have for anyone who trades or wants to trade the Forex.

I agree with those who say Wiley does a poor job on editing and such.
The author says he submitted color charts to Wiley, and the black and white charts published by Wiley are of no value to the reader.

Fortunately, Wayne has many videos on YouTube, and they are clear and concise where this book is not. Another publisher besides Wiley may have spent some money on doing this book correctly. Wayne Mcdonell is an awesome author and forex trader.

I feel I can read it over and over and still find more insight. A lot of information displayed in such a clear manner. A must read for traders at every level!

One thing is sure: This book makes ME better trader.

All important aspects of Forex trading are explained. Not bad for 229 page book. No pages filling material.

I had problem with consistency in my trading, and this book teaches me how to get over that problem. I think that every trader, even experienced ones, can learn something from this book.

It is not absolute beginner's book, but if you know the basic things about Forex - you will be fine.

I am a long time reader of DailyFX site and find it very useful.
One tool that caught my attention some time ago was the COT report column, write by Jamie Saettele.
The book goes further in explain the COT report itself, how to generate indicators from COT data, how to interpret it and, finally, how to use it as a tool to help trigger trades.
Well explained, with plenty of charts, it also has an introduction to Elliot Wave theory, largely used by the author in his tracking of markets.
I recommend the book because of it introduces this subject in a very straight forward way, easy to understand and apply immediately in your trading routine.

Perhaps it is because I am a woman, but I have long believed that emotions and psychology can move markets more than fundamentals, and Jaime Saettele knocks this concept out of the park in this book. As retail investors like myself begin to dabble more in the foreign exchange markets, it is important to understand how to rationally interpret market sentiment amidst the daily volatility. In these days of information overload with CNBC and Wall Street Journal constantly bombarding the investing public, Saettele outlines how to correctly identify scenarios where going against the majority can translate to profit. This book was highly recommended to me, and I would do the same to anyone looking for an intelligent and entertaining take on how to be a successful long-term investor in the Forex markets.

As someone who has become increasingly leery of equities (who hasn't), I needed an introduction to a new market. When a friend recommended the Forex market, I bit immediately. The next thing he recommended was Saettele's book. I couldn't be happier with where it's taken me, and I don't miss sweating my stocks one bit. Pick up this book.

Perhaps the first truly comprehensive guide to contemporary Forex investing, Saettele's "Sentiment in the Forex Market" is both a well-rounded guide to forex investing and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Advocating an approach that takes into account both established technical methods of analyses, and the equally, if not more important psychological factors that drive the forex markets, Saettele constructs a fortified, succinct methodology. Frequently hilarious, Saettele's greatest gift to the reader is one that eludes most all writers of investment guides - it's actually enjoyable to read. Saettele's technical know-how is crystal clear from the beginning, but it would be (as is frequently symptomatic of books of this sort) waisted without his equally impressive ability to distill the mathematical complexities of his research into coherent, useful guidance. A well-rounded and learned book by a bright young analyst, "Sentiment in the Forex Markets" should emerge as cornerstone for a new generation of investors.

Jamie truly understands how forex markets work from a historical and current standpoint. His insight will prove to be relevant for years to come. I highly recommend.
