"Currency Trading for Dummies" by Mark Galant and Brian DolanNew traders have to start somewhere. "Currency Trading for Dummies" covers all the basics and essentials presented in an easy to understand way. It's a great platform to start learning how the market works, driving factors, and how to effectively trade. Advanced traders may not take much from it as is implied from it being a 'for Dummies' book, but it may be worth a look to refresh the basics if you've hit a downswing in performance. This book also offers an excellent, easy to understand introduction to fundamental analysis.
Max Gunther - The Zurich Axioms: The rules of risk and reward used by generations of Swiss bankers.The 12 major and 16 minor Zurich Axioms contained in this book are a set of principles providing a practical philosophy for the realistic management of risk, which can be followed successfully by anyone, not merely the 'experts'. Several of the Axioms fly right in the face of the traditional wisdom of the investment advice business - yet the enterprising Swiss speculators who devised them became rich, while many investors who follow the conventional path do not.
Max Gunther, whose father was one of the original speculators who devised the Axioms, made his first capital gain on the stock market at the age of 13 and has never looked back. Now the rest of us can follow in his footsteps. Startlingly straightforward, the Axioms are explained in a book that is not only extremely entertaining but will prove invaluable to any investor, whether in stocks, commodities, art, antiques or real estate, who is willing to take risk on its own terms and chance a little to gain a lot.
Agustin Silvani - Beat the Forex DealerBeat the Forex Dealer: An insider’s look into trading today’s foreign exchange market is a rather unusual Forex book. Unlike most of the others, that either introduce you to the currency market or teach you to some trading techniques, this book is mostly a warning. Despite having a little bit of both of those aspects, Silvani’s main message is a forewarning of a significantly unfair game played in the industry.
