Product Description |
|
In recent years many smart investors have exited the stock market and other investment areas because they have essentially lost control of their investments. They have relied on the advice and skill of their brokers, bankers, and financial advisors. Many investment and retirement accounts have dwindled. Fortunately, there is a wonderful but little-understood alternative: currency trading and investing. As with many other business segments, the Internet and technology have opened up this attractive marketplace to a new breed of individual investors and speculators working part-time. You and I can now stand on an even playing field with the largest banks and trading institutions from the comfort of home. Currency trading is the practice of exchanging one country's currency for another country's currency. The foreign exchange (Currency or Forex or FX) market is the largest trading market in the world exceeding $1.9 trillion every single day! Essentially there are four variables involved: currencies, exchange rate, time, and interest rate. The relationships of these variables create opportunities for small investors to obtain investment returns that are generally unheard of in the traditional investment world. You owe it to yourself and your family to begin to learn about currency trading. You can get started with just $100 or less, and the investment can easily be managed in a part-time capacity, usually requiring a few hours on the Internet a week from your home or your office. Currency investments can provide you with very high and secure rate of return, in some cases as high as 12%, 18%, 24%, or even 1,000% or more per year. If performed correctly, currency trading will far outpace all other investments. The key is to know how to perform this process correctly. This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started generating high-investment returns with low risk from start to finish, and you can start with less than $100. You will learn what currency trading is; how to invest in foreign currency; trading strategies and tactics; technological considerations; how to set up your account online; purchase currency online; day trader insights; current trends; Pivot Programs; price projectors; futures predicting; trading software; insider secrets to help you double or even triple your investment all while avoiding traps and pitfalls. If you are interested in learning hundreds of hints, tricks, and secrets on how to earn enormous profits in currency trading while controlling your investments, then this book is for you. |

Very Basic |
|
If your looking for a very basic book on trading the FX market and your just starting out, this may be an above average book for you. If you have been trading the FX market do not make an investment in this book. I found it to be average at best. |

Book is very elementary and has too much reference material |
|
While I liked the general information in the book, I found it very basic regarding Forex. [...] A fair to good basic discussion of Forex, but lacking in usable information to actually trade with. The discussions of technical indicators is very weak. On page 167 it discusses the "Head and Shoulders Pattern." It defines the left shoulder, the right shoulder, and the Head, but does not say what the pattern means or what a trader could use the pattern for. I would not recommend the book to anyone who is seriously trading the Forex market. |

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. |

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. |

A Great Introduction to the FOREX Market |
I have heard about currency trading and investing but was not well-versed in this market. Who knew that the Euro may someday replace the United States dollar as the "currency kept in reserve by the world"? I certainly did not. Of course, you see, most of what Jamaine Burrell talks about in his book, "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing," is stuff many of us do not know about until after years of experience in the market of Foreign Exchange (or Forex). This book is especially good for novice investors, who need to have complicated investing concepts explained. The great thing about Burrell's tone is that he is not condescending, or "dumbs down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice.
I was particularly interested in this book, especially as our nation is facing a weakening dollar, because I hear so much nowadays about the foreign markets and how many are investing in and trading currency. Apparently, the Forex market really is an accessible investment that can pay the investor quite well if he or she knows how to get involved in the Forex market and understands how it works.
That is why I felt Burrell's book was so helpful for me. It explains how the Forex market works, why the United States is such an important player in the world market, how to get involved, and does a great job illustrating the many indexes, factors, and issues that contribute to currency-value fluctuation and the overall global economy.
For anybody who fears getting lost in a book about a complex investment market like Forex never fear. Though Burrell quickly dives into terminology, acronyms, and details at length some topics, he clearly was aiming the book toward novice folks like myself and does a good job at clarifying complicated matters and never introduces an acronym (like GDP) without telling the reader what the full term is (Gross Domestic Product) and how it relates to the topic at hand ("The GDP is the yearly total value of all goods and services produced," as he explains on page 157). That is yet another great thing about this book---Burrell's tone is not condescending, nor does he "dumb down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice. If you are looking for a book that introduces and explains some of the basics (and details) about foreign currency trading, I feel "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" makes for an ideal guide indeed. |
