The Sensible Guide to Forex: Safer, Smarter Ways to Survive and Prosper from the Start by Cliff Wachtel : the book

The Sensible Guide to Forex: Safer, Smarter Ways to Survive and Prosper from the Start is written for the risk averse, mainstream retail investor or trader seeking a more effective way to tap forex markets to improve returns and hedge currency risk. As the most widely held currencies are being devalued, they're taking your portfolio down with them—unless you're prepared.

For traders, the book focuses on reducing the high risk, complexity, and time demands normally associated with forex trading.

For long-term investors, it concentrates on how to hedge currency risk by diversifying portfolios into the strongest currencies for lower risk and higher capital gains and income.

The usual forex materials don't provide practical answers for most retail traders or longer term investors. Virtually all forex trading materials focus on time-consuming, high-leverage, high-risk methods at which most traders fail. Materials about long-term investing in foreign assets rarely take into account the prospects of the related currency. A falling currency can turn an otherwise good investment into a bad one.

Throughout the book, the emphasis is on planning and executing only low risk, high potential yield trades or investments and avoiding serious losses at all costs. Packed with richly illustrated examples every step of the way and including additional appendices and references to online resources, the book is the ultimate guide to forex for retail traders and investors seeking to tap forex markets for better currency diversification and income.

• Provides traders with safer, smarter, less complex and time-consuming ways to trade forex with higher odds of success. These include the use of such increasingly popular new instruments like forex binary options and social trading accounts that mimic expert traders.

• Shows investors how to identify the currencies most likely to hold or increase their value, and provides a wealth of ideas about how to apply that knowledge to a long-term, low-maintenance portfolio for both income and capital appreciation.

• Helps anyone seeking an asset class with low correlation to other markets by explaining how the very nature of forex markets means that regardless of market conditions there's always a playable trend somewhere, regardless of what other asset markets are doing, and how to find and exploit it for a short-term trade or a long-term investment in a currency pair, stock, bond, or other asset

The Sensible Guide to Forex is only book that teaches mainstream risk averse investors and traders how to build a portfolio that’s diversified by currency exposure as well as by asset class and sector, via a variety of safer, simpler methods to suit different needs, risk tolerances, and levels of expertise.

Written by Cliff Wachtel, a 30+ year financial market writer, advisor, and analyst, The Sensible Guide to Forex offers practical solutions to the above dilemmas faced by every serious, prudent investor.

Think about what happened to millions of investors when the dot-com boom went bust, or the subprime mortgage crisis blew up the world's financial markets. In this step-by-step (and always entertaining) guide, a proven counter-trend trader shows real-world examples of how to identify and profit from the warning signs that short-term and long-term trends are reaching a conclusion. The trading style is called "The Wallaby Trade," and it's the most complete book available on the subject of using divergence to trade against the crowd.

Seamuc McKenna, "The Omicron Forex Trading Manual" the book

The Omicron Forex Trading Manual is a literate and focused explanation for non-specialists of Forex strategies for automated (algorithmic) trading using the Dukascopy JForex Java API and associated software routines developed by Omicron Forex. The manual is also a guide to the essential general requirements of Forex trading which all traders must master. These include the ability to think in probabilities, to maintain discipline (which the automated strategies are designed to assist with) and master the psychology of Forex Trading.

The manual improves the Forex trading learning process. It shows how discipline can be maintained. It also explains how the software does back-testing and it demonstrates why algorithms are important.

You need automation in your Forex trading to:

* Significantly improve the Forex trading learning process.

* Carry out research and do back-testing.

* Help you impose discipline and appreciate the need for it.

* Allow for risk reduction through diversification in currency pairs, which would be onerous and error prone if attempted manually.

* Take over certain repetitive functions that are more appropriate for computers to handle.

You do not want to use automation in your Forex trading to:

* "Set and forget" and leave to run unsupervised on a live account. This way lies potential disaster.

The Omicron Forex Trading Manual contains an introduction to the automated strategies and does not include the software routines themselves.

James Windsor, "The Holy Grail Trading System" : the book

The true story of a 100% mechanical automated forex trading system that returned over 1000% inside 13 months turning 10,000 GBP to over 100,000 GBP

In 2005 I discovered what I believed was the ultimate financial trading system using the foreign exchange market ( known as the forex market )

To be the ultimate 'Holy Grail' foreign exchange trading system it would have the ability to automatically trade and have zero discretion with no technical analysis or reliance on technical indicators. In short, a 100% mechanical trading system in which the person using it does not matter, the result will be the same.

It would be a currency trading system that takes away the problems of trading psychology. It does not care if you are having a bad day, are on holiday, or if you have had an argument with your partner in the last hour. The trading entries, exits, trailing stops and risk management must have no user input whatsoever. All the user has to do is switch it on and wait.

The trading forums of the internet are full of people searching for this ultimate trading system. Thousands of traders every day search, test and simulate for hours using forex analysis looking for this 'golden egg' laying goose. Most believe that such a trading strategy does not exist nor ever has. This book is here to prove to you that such a trading system did exist and was discovered by a few home based forex traders just like you.
