Buy Forex For Beginners: What You Need to Know to Get Started...and Everything in Between! 1 by Coulling, Anna (ISBN: 9781494753757) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Very helpful book that makes a lot of sense. - I found this book (the second I've read on forex) to be *very* helpful and written in a way that helps the reader understand very well! I just finished it earlier today. There's a section or two I'd like to come back to, such as the recommendations for which currency pairs to trade as a beginner, but I feel that with taking the time to ingest, this book is superb information. The chapter rooted in evolutionary biology isn't to my taste (I don't have that world view), and I reckon there is such a place as "desire for profit" and "desire for reserve" that isn't rooted in "greed" or "fear", which I feel the author tended to reduce things to. Though I understand of course that they would be very present in the market as a whole. On the economics front, I'm a novice in understanding, but I had read elsewhere (in a piece in the direction of Austrian economics) that the unpegging the currency from gold standard in the 70s wasn't for the sake of the direction of a natural free market, but an expedient necessary so that government debts, incurred through policies of central bank market-manipulation, could be eased. But, those things aside, what a helpful book by someone very knowledgeable and experienced, sharing that information in a very readable way, at a bargain price, the content of which indeed makes logical sense. If I now make the move to trading for real, I feel I have read the best book I could on the subject, and have learned many things; not just reading charts, but what you're doing, what others are doing, and why. Next, it will be a case of learning to apply that knowledge wisely, getting the feel for putting it into practice with more and greater proficiency. I just need to know which is Anna's recommendation for best ECN platform for beginners without much capital, wishing to start with long-term trading. A question I wouldn't have know what it meant or why I was asking it before, so wouldn't have been asking it. :) Thank you, Anna, for your book. Review: Great introduction - Really clear and explains the basics very well.

Great content, pants graphs and slightly annoying language
I wanted to dabble in Forex, so bought this book based on recommendations. I would give it 4.5 stars if possible, as the content seems great (although I've not actually invested real money yet), but the graphs are pretty poor (low resolution and greyscale images for what should be colour pictures). One big issue I had with this book was the overly-relaxed language used in some paragraphs... it is really annoying to repeatedly read sentences that end with "and the reason is this. Blah, blah". It was fine to start with, but the author uses this phrase to end one sentence and begin another every other paragraph, which drove me nuts after a while. That aside, it is easy to understand and I feel like I could hold my own in a conversation with a professional investor now!

Objective viewpoint.
So I'll admit. I saw this book at the Kindle price and almost wrote it off. After all. It had a low price, and all the reviews five stars. Sirens were going off in my mind, and I'd defend being circumspect given the topic. But I humbly admit that I was quite wrong. This book is VERY good. It doesn't cover the entire length and breadth of forex, but that's not what I needed. I'd got that already from the internet, but was still no closer to knowing what to do. This however presents a credible start towards trading in forex. The book contained much no nonsense advice that rang true even as I checked it against what was going on in the markets at the time. It also gave a reality check that I probably needed, and installed some hard does and don'ts that I suspect will save me many times the purchase price of this text. The book is a little prescriptive of the author's specific beliefs and approach. But those beliefs appear founded on insightful and thought through principles, which are clearly derived from a long term objective study of real world trading. Before buying I researched the author, and signed up for one of their webinars, which was free, practical and immensely useful. There's precious little objective and truthful literature on this subject as far as I can tell. So it'd be to your loss if you overlooked this book. I need to say that buying books on the basis of Amazon's reviews all being five stars is a flawed approach in my view. If you're buying books on a topic this riddled with poor steers, then I'd research the author carefully. I did that, liked what I saw, so I bought this book. And for its price I'm VERY pleased that I did.

At last - a darn good forex book!
There are hundreds of books on forex available for the Kindle but, while self-publishing might be a Good Thing, the lack of any control means all sorts of rubbish gets out there. I was so tired of reading 'books' that were little more than spun articles with absolutely no content of value that I felt obliged to start to review them as you'll see if you check my reviews. But, at last, here's a book written by someone who walks the walk as well as talking the talk - heavens, in English and with good grammar, too. It would be an excellent introduction for any newcomer to forex as well as more seasoned traders. It not only explains the basics of the market but offers a trading system, too. So if you've despaired of finding a book of value about forex among the dross self-publishing has foisted on us, despair no more and look no further. It's impossible to cover every aspect of forex in a single book (and some of the analogies the author uses are a little overblown) but this is an excellent read, well worth your time and highly recommended.

I wish I'd read this book years ago.............
I've been FX spreadbetting off and on for a couple of years now, but after my last break of some 6-months due to my intermittent workload, I was having trouble getting back in the trading 'groove'/mindset. So, for infinitely less than the cost of a failed trade, I thought I'd go back to basics and get my brain back into gear. This book certainly did that over the course of a weekend read, and in fact caused me to purchase the other two books written by Anna and to re-evaluate and tweak my trading methodology/strategy. Appreciating though that there's no one way only of trading, and that it's a case of 'horses for courses,' the contents of this series of three books may not gel with everybody, but aspects certainly have for me and sparked enlightenment over some of the ideas I hadn't previously fully taken on-board - I've now started trading differently. I wish I'd read this book years ago, before losing myself in many of the ideas that had lodged themselves in my shell-like from reading other books. I don't give 5 stars for anything, so this is probably a first for me!

Published in Black and white
The book has a nice coloured cover but when you get inside the charts and graphs are in black ad white.It is essential for these to be in full colour to interpret the information.Is this a failure in the printing process or it is intended to be in black and white? The original original version would have been in colour. Would you supply a replacement meanwhile I will return the copy I have. I have also noticed on My Bank Statement that I have been signed up for Kindle Unlimtted this must have happened in error when I was purchasing Forex for Beginners.Would you please repay this.

This is a keeper, a refference to be used time & again.
bought Anna's book on Volume Price Action and was curious to see what she had written for beginners. "Thank you for writing this brilliant book" I've traded on and off during the past 5 years and spent shed loads on books, CDs, courses and education (a.k.a losses) Wasted hours searching the tinter-web for the holy grail, a perfect trading method, which doesn't exist and if it does it's certainly not being given away for 3 quid. This book is packed full of help and information for novice traders and the rest of us still looking for consistency in our trading results. Chapter 13 has some of the best and most practical advice I've ever read. Ive reloaded MT4 feeling confident, invigorated, and armed with ideas/methods for quantify risk, controlling emotions, The Currency Matrix ... Priceless for any body just beginning a journey into FX trading. It's the best book I've read on trading and the only motive I can see for Mrs C having written it. is a genuine desire to educate and help would be traders from loosing their shirts. A big thank you and 5 stars doesn't do it justice.
