For beginners,
This book is for new traders, not for anyone having already looked at any forex or TA materials before. It is very basic. However, the book is well written, and free of mistakes or false hopes. Therefore it is good for a completely new trader.
I was disappointed because the book does not deliver the front cover message: Real and actionable techniques for profiting from … Only the last strategy (the news) is detailed and really actionable as is, though it is very basic and well-known. It does not give much details or new things in the other chapters.
I was disappointed by the sentiment strategy. It is just not a strategy! Well, I was not expecting a strategy based on sentiment, but something really clear to establish a sentiment. The content of this chapter is very limited (extreme COT reading and news, action divergence).
The trend riding is just: find a trend line or R/S and put a limit or market order when the price is close enough, put a stop at 20 pips, exit with R/S based on your time frame and use your common sense for the rest. Also, use your common sense and sentiment bias to know if you should take the trade or not. Most people already know that. The difficult part is indeed finding the common sense and a reliable sentiment!
The fade breakout is very similar to the trend riding (extremely similar!).
The decrease volatility strategy is a triangle one, using the trend riding stuff for entry/exit.
If you want to have a look at the table of contents, go to Amazon UK, it is available there.

|Possibly the best forex trading book I’ve read!,
I have read over 10 books on forex trading and this is quite possibly the best one I’ve purchased. I wish I would have found it before the other ones as then I would have saved a lot of money. 7 Winning Strategies is a very practical guide to improving your chances at success in the forex market. I think one of the primary reasons trading strategies don’t work out is because the trader applied the wrong strategy during certain market conditions. Grace Cheng’s book covers different strategies to use for different market dynamics. It details how a trader can apply these strategies and it tells you what sort of market conditions the different strategies work best in – and best of all, it does it clearly and concisely. You still need to think for yourself, but this makes it a whole lot easier to plan your trade and trade your plan! The groundwork that’s been done is right on.
Actually, I was aware of Grace Cheng before purchasing this book and just like another reviewer, I didn’t have a very positive impression of her because her Web site looks kind of funky. Don’t let that deter you from reading this outstanding book. This book literally taught me not to judge a book by its cover. If you read it and really apply your learnings to developing a strategy that is suited to your trading style, you’d understand just how valuable the strategies detailed in this book are.

|Disappointing,
I bought this book because I read the author’s blog and thought it would teach me something new about trading. However, I found that topics were discussed “on the surface” without going into “how to do it”. I get the feeling that she is saving the bulk of her information for her online course, which you have to pay US$700 for.
