Hi D Bista and Lizzie,

Yes, I agree with both of you. I have those two books as well. Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi James,

For anyone just starting out in trading (particularly Forex trading) then ‘Technical Analysis of the Currency Market’ by Boris Schlossberg - Wiley Trading - is an excellent foundation book.

Boris starts with a history and the evolution of currency trading and then lays out the basics of fundamental and technical analysis. He presents a variety of strategies and all important money management techniques in a straightforward, easy to understand way.

I have found it an excellent starting point and a good ongoing reference book for reinforcing learning.

Regards,
Lizzie

Hi James:
I think you should include “Beat the Odds in Forex Trading: How to Identify and Profit from High Percentage Market Patterns” (Wiley Trading) by I. R. Toshchakov.

That’s a fine book that adds a fresh perspective on how price moves in different trading session!
