I don't believe in buying books is better then the free advise right in here. Since I have videos and books (the one you pay for) I know they don't have more then you can find right in here.

Save the money, open a Oanda account and play very micro units from the start. Of course after you read in here more and went trough the babypips school.

My 2 cents (or more)

Forgot to mention, the time will come you think you have to buy one of this 400 500 800 and more dollar softwares. Just forget it waste of time and money, only safe money for the one that sells it. Think: If his software works perfect and makes money would he sell it?

It really is all available for free. Buy books if you want too, but they won't teach you anything you can't learn here for free.

The only advantage to books is you don't have to wade through the crap to get to the good material.

I agree on the idea of softwares "if the software do work why should they sell the software why didn't they just trade forex using it I believe much more higher profit can be made in trading Forex than just selling a book"

Now regarding books I know basic stuffs can be found for free and forums such as this great forum is the place to look in for these things but my idea was > will you find those big boys in forex posting on forums and helping newbie guys .. well it can be but some may think for bigger help and popularity in writing books .. This is why I thought may be you can get different things out of a book.

It's all here and you have the forums.
If you had to buy 1, I would say get Steve Nison's book "Japanese Candlestick charting". However, there are a lot of patterns in there not 100% related to forex as it's stocks as well but lots and lots of explanations to drill it home. ALso, when you receive the book, rip out all the end pages on indicators Oh, no actually maybe leave them there because then you can sell it back to someone else 2nd hand on eBay.

The big boys aren't big because they have different methods or secret teachings. They're the big boys because they have more money, not more knowledge.

Aggh!

It's not free, it's certainly not all available here, there are plenty of secrets, lots of different ways of trading you're not aware of, and many books that can point you in some of these directions.

To the original poster, check out some of the previous threads here and on other forums... get reading
