 2008-08-01 - The Scoop on Currency Trading
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.

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).

2008-05-23 - A Good Reference Book
For a novice, I found The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing a good reference book. I would like to have seen a few illustrations to support some of the prose that was a little difficult to follow. For example, illustrations would have helped to better comprehend the descriptions on the symmetrical triangle pattern, flags and pennants pattern.
2008-03-27 - A Great Tool for Any Trader
Jamaine Burrell's "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" is an excellent reference manual which offers a well-rounded background to foreign currency markets. There are extensive descriptions of each major central bank and their relationships with one another and the global economy as it pertains to currency trading. Someone unfamiliar with trading foreign currencies and the unique language associated with it should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals once reading through this book. As a seasoned stock and options trader, it was refreshing to get a different view of trading from the Forex side of things. The fundamental analysis was very complete and covered many economic indicators for all the major countries. There could have been more detail in the technical analysis portion and it would have been nice to see examples of charts for easier understanding. However, the information provided in the appendices completes the book nicely and makes this book a great tool to keep in any trader's collection.
