Summary: Great waste
Review: There is nothing in this book. It's a waste of money and time reading it, and also even if it's free, you should not read it.

Summary: All you need
Review: This book gives you a complete vision of the world's currency markets, it is very clear until you reach the technical analysis chapters .PD: " Appendix _A" is incomplete; the "Ecuadorian Sucre (ECS)" does not figure on the list.

Summary: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask
Review: This book gives you everything you wanted to know about currency trading but were afraid to ask. It gives a historical perspective of why there is not a fixed exchange rate, the role of the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks in the G-7 countries. The book has chapters on futures and options. The book shows you which charts and indicator the major players use. Now all I need to succeed in this arena is a bit of luck and a lot of courage.

Summary: Useless book on FX trading
Review: This book is nothing else than a bad try to make some money out of nothing. One part of the book covers technical analysis very, very brief. Buy another book if you are interested in learning TA. The author describes pricing and different kind of financial instruments very, very brief as well. Not even good for the beginner, I wood say. None of the chapters in this book is covered at an acceptable level, and some chapters are not relevant at all.

Summary: A massive disappointment
Review: This book's bulk suggests it as a definitive tome on the subject, but the content is surprisingly thin. Chapters are instead padded out by large verbatim lifts from official sources. The book fails to sift out for the reader what is important, and instead just reproduces huge amounts of indigestible detail. Worse, the book is littered with factual errors. In describing the world's central banks, Luca neglects to mention that that the Bank of England has been made independent since the first edition of this book (this is not a trivial point). Worse, he describes Clinton as " the second US President to be impeached" (p349 - check it out!). Last I heard Clinton was leaving the presidency unimpeached at the end of his full term. When you find basic factual errors like these, you find yourself unable to trust any of the other facts reported in the book. In conclusion, this book's bulk is misleading: it is thin on content, badly edited and punctuated by grotesque factual errors. NYIF have done their reputation no favours by publishing this book.

Summary: Useless book on FX trading
Review: TRADING? Where is the trading? If you are a trader, a real trader, this book is not for you. Plenty of historical details this book is good for economic high school, not for FX trading. No methodologies, no trading strategies (except options). An incredible waste of time, money, ink and paper. Least but not last: the funny sample of technical analysis, with the usual flags, pennant,double tops and, incredibile, candlestick charting: all second hand news.
Thanks to Luca and his apprentice followers I lost [$$].

Summary: Trading in the Global Currency Markets
Review: Well rounded book! I've been a spot FX trader since 1992, but never had the time or opportunity to dig too deep in other areas, such as derivatives. In addition, my charting knowledge consisted basically of intraday charts and a couple of moving averages on the bar charts. After reading this comprehensive book I feel I opened my horizons. Candlestick analysis has started to help me almost every day, and I was able to adapt options knowledge to spot trading. Trading in the Global Currency Markets is a must for Forex.
