Customer review that helpful : Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market: Technical and Fundamental Strategies to Profit from Market Moves (Wiley Trading)

was reluctant to purchase this book because i feared this one would be as many other books i have bought before: tutorial on basics, with examples that are hard to follow. I was wrong but i am giving it a four star because the one area i believe is very important to discuss stop-loss management she was not very helpful - still better than most books i read - for that i think you need to read Agustin Silvani's book.

Aside from that this book is an excellent instruction book on swing and day trading. The book very succintly explains the preparation for the trading day and the two strategies you can follow: fundamental or technical. Although i don't use some of her strategies i do use a couple and am in the process of designing my system for the others. I think the three chapters 8,9 and 10 are worth the price of book by themselves.
