If you’re very new to forex trading, you’re probably wondering which one, or two, or three of these books you should start with. Ask any 5 traders, and you will get 5 different answers to that question.
My answer would be: [B]Technical Analysis for Dummies[/B], [B]Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques[/B], and either one of the Mark Douglas books.
Forex education is essentially a do-it-yourself endeavor. And it should be a life-long pursuit. For the duration of your career as a trader, you should be reading and learning. So, take it a step at a time.
