|Balanced and More Than a Beginner Book,
The Getting Started… Series has a very specific template and follows the similar …for Dummies format. The author really shines in his tenor and script as well as his organization and dissemination within the framework but adds more depth than standard books in either series; they sometimes lack flow and cohesiveness. Some warnings: he has a large subject matter to cover and it is not one that should be learned from one author or book. In the same subject matter I highly recommend to supplement Forex Training with the educational online course at […], it’s free, incredibly extensive and excellent, save for continuously selecting the next course, a downloadable complete .PDF file of the course would have been nice instead of the sole web based navigation. This book works well as the replacement to having that course in a text format. This book strengths are its currency and applicability to the latest in platforms, brokerages, some web sites, and providing the background of many of the exchanges. The charts cut to the chase on pip pricing, Risk/reward ratios, and position sizing. Stop losses and Taking profit points are stressed as well. Weaknesses:For a true beginner student, I would recommend delving much deeper into fundamental and technical studies in other texts, this edition makes some excellent recommendations for those studies. Including John Murphy’s Financial Analysis of the Technical Markets, which I feel is the one book any trader worth his/her salt should have. Conclusion:I haven’t found a better book for currency traders in their larva stage and as one of prepubescent traders I enjoyed reading it and learned a great deal.

|Learning currency trading,
This book is easy to understand and explains a subject matter than can be intimidating. I am just half-way through it but am always anxious to pick it up and continue the learning process. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn currency trading.

|The section on Bollinger Bands is wort h the price of the book,
I’ve read everything Kathy’s ever written, and I’m better for it – and this book is no different. Short and to the point: Kathy’s section on the buy and sell zones for the Bollinger Bands is worth the price of the book many times over. Those bands have saved me from taking some terrible trades, and helped me quickly identify market conditions that are favorable for longs or shorts. It’s easily the best section of the book, in my opinion. Last of all, Kathy has the public track record to back up what she writes.
Trading is risky, of course, and no one strategy is perfect for everyone. But in a world of overpriced trading books, this book is absolutely worth buying.

|Practical and Handy,
Lien does a really good job of explaining the basics of the forex market and some topics that are usually avoided in other books such as the biggest scams in the market and the top 10 mistakes (which I have been guilty of at one point or another!). For those of you that are a bit more advanced like yours truly, the Bollinger Bands were an interesting and practical tool. I actually backtested it with some relatively good results.

|Excellent advice for all traders,
I found this book to be an invaluable guide to trading the forex markets. Although short, the author manages to pack in helpful advide and strategies for both short and medium term traders. Trading the news and technical analysis are covered along with setting profit targets and stop losses. Highly recommended
