Customer Review: Very basic. Beginners only. Not forex specific at all
Sorry that I still have no idea of what the 10 essentials are after I finished it, but as a professional trader I can tell the book is too shallow to be helpful at all, despite the author’s outstanding writing skill. Some may argue that I am too demanding to require a book of less than 200 content page to be compleat but I assure you the FX market is a killing field with a casualty rate of over 90% that forgives no mistake nor ignorance. Of course, if you think a lukewarm mix of Candlestick, Fibonacci, Trendline, FA and equity management is good enough, please simply neglect this review. Otherwise,…………..
p.s. Despite my low rating of it, below please find my favorite passages for your reference.
A wise, old Indian chief was speaking with his grandson about life, telling him about the internal battle that goes on inside all people. He said, “My son, inside all of us there exists a constant battle between two wolves. One wolf is very evil. It forces you to deal with anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed……………The other wolf is good. It helps you to experience joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility…….” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The chief replied, “My son, the one you feed.” pg 1
“Anyone wanting to make some money today? Just watch and trade the GBP. The bulls are after a high from several years back and when they get near it and/or take it out and achieve a new high, turn to a 15 min chart and keep your eyes open for an evening star, engulfing bearish candle or tweezer tops. The second one of them appears, go short!” pg 74
Just remember, nothing lasts forever….there will be signs that you will need to pay attention to….you can begin to make the necessary adjustments to either hold onto what you are about to lose or aggressively start taking advantage of getting out of the mess you are in. pg 114
Customer Review: Do not believe the “4″ or “5″ Star Hype
As a former insider at MTI, I can attest to the previous “1″ star ratings and support the same with facts. This author’s primary business is in education; however, this author doesn’t even understand the product of sums. This book is nothing more than an extended table of contents coupled with an exorbitant number of references to his business. The decision to buy this text should be one of prudence. Please review the book physically before buying.
The author is preying on the “ignorant” public that is eager to trade. I would not put is past this author to instruct his own employees/colleagues/friends to write positive reviews (FxAngel, R. Enright).
A few good text recommendations are from CTrader’s review that I agree with:
“If you want to know about technical analysis for forex or stocks -which is the same- you can check Jon Murphy, Schwager, or J. Magee…. books
If you are looking for psychology of trading go for Mark Douglas or others.”
