Basics of forex trading, kept short on purpose: what a currency pair is, how rates move, and the risk rules that decide if a beginner lasts.
Jim Brown has traded currencies since 2002, through the shift from hand-drawn charts to automated systems, and writes for the reader who is still deciding whether to open one.
Who it's for
People weighing up whether to start at all. Traders who came across from stocks say the terminology carries over and the explanations never talk down.
The buyer also gets one of the author's own trading systems with its indicator package for MetaTrader and TradingView, plus access to his trading groups.
Good to know
It is a short book, and readers say so: a slim introduction rather than a full course. Take it as the first thing you read on the subject, not the last.
