 Avoid The Most Common Mistakes in Currency Trading July 29, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Avoid the most common mistake of not being prepared and develop a currency trading strategy. Burrell's book educates the reader on the tools you need to become involved in currency trading and investing while avoiding making the mistakes of an unprepared and inexperienced trader. The book has a good introduction into the world of currency and uses terminology that will help you understand the market and make you sound like a pro who grasps trading techniques.
Burrell's book shows you how to notice entry and exit points to maximize gains and minimize losses when trading with the major currencies of the world. Knowing what influences the market and what banks have the most power is crucial information that will help you succeed in currency trading, as well as understanding the importance of spotting fraud contracts.
This book explains technical analysis, the three different foreign exchange systems, and trading mechanisms while informing the reader of the advantages and disadvantages. It will help you pinpoint your plan by understanding how to interpret currency charts, their patterns, and reports. You will understand the different types of accounts and how to register and activate them. This book can be helpful if you are pondering the idea of being a currency trader, or if you are already pursuing currency trades and are searching for another strategy.
 Book is very elementary and has too much reference material June 21, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
While I liked the general information in the book, I found it very basic regarding Forex. [...] A fair to good basic discussion of Forex, but lacking in usable information to actually trade with. The discussions of technical indicators is very weak. On page 167 it discusses the "Head and Shoulders Pattern." It defines the left shoulder, the right shoulder, and the Head, but does not say what the pattern means or what a trader could use the pattern for. I would not recommend the book to anyone who is seriously trading the Forex market.
A Good Reference Book May 23, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
For a novice, I found The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing a good reference book. I would like to have seen a few illustrations to support some of the prose that was a little difficult to follow. For example, illustrations would have helped to better comprehend the descriptions on the symmetrical triangle pattern, flags and pennants pattern.
A Great Tool for Any Trader March 27, 2008
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
Jamaine Burrell's "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" is an excellent reference manual which offers a well-rounded background to foreign currency markets. There are extensive descriptions of each major central bank and their relationships with one another and the global economy as it pertains to currency trading. Someone unfamiliar with trading foreign currencies and the unique language associated with it should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals once reading through this book. As a seasoned stock and options trader, it was refreshing to get a different view of trading from the Forex side of things. The fundamental analysis was very complete and covered many economic indicators for all the major countries. There could have been more detail in the technical analysis portion and it would have been nice to see examples of charts for easier understanding. However, the information provided in the appendices completes the book nicely and makes this book a great tool to keep in any trader's collection.
 A Great Introduction to the FOREX Market March 14, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have heard about currency trading and investing but was not well-versed in this market. Who knew that the Euro may someday replace the United States dollar as the "currency kept in reserve by the world"? I certainly did not. Of course, you see, most of what Jamaine Burrell talks about in his book, "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing," is stuff many of us do not know about until after years of experience in the market of Foreign Exchange (or Forex). This book is especially good for novice investors, who need to have complicated investing concepts explained. The great thing about Burrell's tone is that he is not condescending, or "dumbs down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice.
I was particularly interested in this book, especially as our nation is facing a weakening dollar, because I hear so much nowadays about the foreign markets and how many are investing in and trading currency. Apparently, the Forex market really is an accessible investment that can pay the investor quite well if he or she knows how to get involved in the Forex market and understands how it works.
That is why I felt Burrell's book was so helpful for me. It explains how the Forex market works, why the United States is such an important player in the world market, how to get involved, and does a great job illustrating the many indexes, factors, and issues that contribute to currency-value fluctuation and the overall global economy.
For anybody who fears getting lost in a book about a complex investment market like Forex never fear. Though Burrell quickly dives into terminology, acronyms, and details at length some topics, he clearly was aiming the book toward novice folks like myself and does a good job at clarifying complicated matters and never introduces an acronym (like GDP) without telling the reader what the full term is (Gross Domestic Product) and how it relates to the topic at hand ("The GDP is the yearly total value of all goods and services produced," as he explains on page 157). That is yet another great thing about this book---Burrell's tone is not condescending, nor does he "dumb down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice. If you are looking for a book that introduces and explains some of the basics (and details) about foreign currency trading, I feel "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" makes for an ideal guide indeed.
