Beat the Forex Dealer: An insider’s look into trading today’s foreign exchange market (Wiley Trading)
The foreign-exchange market is often referred to as the Slaughterhouse where novice traders go to get ‘chopped up’. It is one of egos and money, where millions of dollars are won and lost every day and phones are routinely thrown across hectic trading desks. This palpable excitement has led to the explosion of the retail FX market, which has unfortunately spawned a new breed of authors and gurus more than happy to provide misleading and often downright fraudulent information by promising traders

Know the REAL forex game.,
This is easily the most valuable book of the nearly dozen or so I’ve read. Have you ever wondered why the market moves against you when you follow text book technical set ups that every trading manual states you should? It’s because the brokers and dealers know you will and actively go after your position. It’s obvious to me now but before reading this book I didn’t know MY broker was out to aggressively take my money.
This book has given me a whole new view of forex trading and because of it I’ve stopped scratching my head and begun to make gains. I know the real game now and have adjusted my trading to take advantage of it.

|Good perspective,
Unlike most Forex books, this does not reiterate basic strategy and definitions. Rather, it assumes that the reader knows the basics, and concisely reveals how the Forex dealers can use those strategies against the reader. The author’s material corresponds well to common complaints from traders worldwide (check out Forex trader blogs at any website). The graphs are well-laid out, and helpful for elaborating on the counter-strategies described by the author. A quick read, but surely complex enough for re-reads. I cannot comment on whether the author’s strategies will indeed ensuring “beating the dealer” (have not tested them yet), but I think that revealing how the Forex establishment can take advantage of traders will make readers more cautious, and less trusting. Should be part of any advanced beginner’s library.

|Trader Beware,
I would recommend this book to anyone considering foreign exchange trading–preferably before a single position is ever opened. Agustin Silvani’s work has opened my eyes to the seedy, shady “tricks” of the forex dealer trade. After only a few pages, it is easy to see why the spot currency market is where unknowing, novice traders are preyed upon by the “sharks” of the business. There are many reasons why most forex traders fail, and it certainly does not help that dealers are often on the other side of the trades. The smart investor/trader can profit in this zero-sum game, but he or she must be prepared. I believe this book is the “shark cage” every trader needs.
The strategies presented are designed to help the reader begin thinking like the “big money” that controls the market. I was able to lock up 50 quick pips earlier this month trading the NFP announcement. The market behaved in an almost textbook manner, and it was all outlined in this book. Why trade with the frustrated losers, when you can become a shark yourself. Take notes and practice the techniques outlined, and results should naturally follow. Nothing works all the time, but you will definitely have more or a chance to profit if you are prepared.
