As of today, the latest free e-book that was added to EarnForex.com is “The 5 Steps to Becoming a Trader” by an unknown author. This extremely short (only 5 pages!) PDF e-book lists and describes the 5 steps of becoming a Forex trader. The steps are the fundamental psychological levels that are passed during the learning …

I’ve been reading very positive reviews of Peter Brandt’s book on Amazon for some time and, recently, I’ve decided to read the book myself to see if it’s really that good. Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader: Lessons from 21 Weeks of Real Trading turned out to be a rather …

The newest addition to the beginner books on the site is a rather short free Forex e-book by Doug Breiten called “My Dog Ate My Forex”. Despite its weird name, it’s quite helpful. The title references the problem of many traders — losing their money to a Forex broker, “feeding” them with trader losses. …

As I wanted to find out more about different trading chart patterns (lately, I’m quite fond of using them), I’ve chosen to read Suri Duddella‘s Trade Chart Patterns Like the Pros, which had a rather promising title and tables of contents. To say that I was disappointed is almost …

It’s been some time since my last Forex book review, so today I’ve decided to share my impressions of the latest book on probability by the ”financial dissident” Nassim Nicholas Taleb. If you still haven’t read his previous book — Fooled by Randomness (see my review here) — …

Another free e-book was added to EarnForex.com today — Killer Patterns by Philip Birchley. It’s very short — just 22 pages, including title, disclaimer and other “service pages”. The e-book talks about the strategy based on the MACD indicator and the chart trend lines. It’s very simple and easy to implement. Unfortunately, …

Today I’ve finally finished reading Tom DeMark‘s The New Science of Technical Analysis. I’d say that it’s difficult to judge a book written by a living person with an almost legendary status in the world of financial trading. Despite the fact that the book was written more than 16 years …

Recently, NFA has published a revised edition of its educational guide for the retail Forex traders. I’ve asked them for a permission to offer this valuable e-book to my site’s visitors and they’ve allowed me to openly share it. So, now the guide is available for download from our Forex Books for Beginners section. …

One could call Technical Analysis of the Currency Market by Boris Schlossberg a pure technical analysis book, but it wouldn’t be a completely correct definition. The book also talks about the psychology of trading and risk management; an introduction to the Forex market (FX 101 chapter) is also made for the very new traders. …

To tell the long story short — I didn’t like Rob Booker’s The Currency Trader’s Handbook. It’s a very “general book”, which can be interesting only to the new Forex traders (or too desperate experienced ones), and its pages have an unbearable ratio of small talk to useful content. A comparison with Ed …
