Summary: Im a new FOREX user and this book is GREAT
Review: I just started trading the FOREX and this book gave me a great deal of information about the Market. This book is very informative and I highly recommend it to all FOREX users. I also own and am very happy with the 4X Made Easy software and subscribe to the James Dicks PremiereFX Alerts.

Summary: What a insult ... This book offers no advice...
Review: I read the reviews on this book, and thought there was no-way any respectable publisher would release a book if it was just advertising. However, I was proved wrong and this book is nothing but a huge advertisement for his company. He refers everything to his website/company and his custom tools. This is such a joke and I feel so insulted that they would charge for this junk. Do not waste your money on this book!! Thank me later.

Summary: Not beneficial at all
Review: I saw James Dicks' late night ads for 4xme -- Foreign Exchange Trading Made Easy. I explored his background and his firm's background over the net this early morning and read his book on another site where it's posted, in full.The book does not really explain foreign exchange trading, but is mostly an ad for his firm's software and online services. Also, it's poorly written. So many people have been upset with it that used copies are available on E-bay for 99 cents. (...) I spent a dozen years as a retail broker at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and am a Wharton CPA. Also, I supported myself solely through trading from 1984 through 1988. IMHO stay away from James Dicks, his books, and his firms. No good can come from interaction with any of them.

Summary: FOREX
Review: I think that James' book on the foreign currency market is exactly what I have been looking for. 6 Ways To Trade The Dollar has taught me the importance of this market and most importantly how to make the most of my money. Reading this book showed me I'm able to trade this market with great leverage that I was unaware of prior to reading this guide. If you are anything like me and are looking for a way in to a largely profitable market, check out this book.

Summary: Ignore the untrue negative reviews, this is a GREAT book
Review: I was hesitant to buy the book at first after seeing all the negative customer reviews about the book on here, but I am definitely glad I did. Mr. Dicks does a really great job of explaining the ForEx market and ways to be successful at it. If you read the reviews, you would think ALL he talks about is his company and products, and that is the furthest thing from the truth. He talks about his product and other companies' similar products and lets the reader/potential trader decide which is best for them. He hardly mentions it at all; he focuses on teaching trading strategies. There is one chapter where he talks about the free trade station and how you can get it from his PremiereTrade site and explains the basics of the trade station, which will be the same for other companies' trade stations. I GUARANTEE that a single person wrote all those negative reviews who was either a fired employee of Mr. Dicks or was an ignorant PremiereTrade customer who probably didn't follow Mr. Dicks' trading advice and lost money and now they are trying to get back at him and his company by posting the reviews. I just think it's unfair to all potential readers of his book and Mr. Dicks to have all this garbage on here preventing people from reading a really good book about the ForEx market and trading strategies with it. I wish Amazon would publicly display the IP addresses of people who write reviews so everyone can see that the same person or people post the same type reviews over and over pretending to be other people because they are lame and have no life.

Summary: Forex Made Easy
Review: I'm new to the Forex market and I was looking for something
that would give me some basic understanding of this market.
After reading this book, I still feel like the basics of Forex
were not explained.

Summary: A peak into world of Forex - same info free on the web
Review: Just finished the Forex made easy and it did not take long.
Although this book may be very good for people who are completely new to FOREX the author does not present any new revolutionary ideas on how to trade FOREX. The book just manages to scracth the surface and introuduce different aspects related to FOREX trading.
I was able to find the same info (another reader also mentiones this) and even more detailed for free on the web.
A big drawback to this book is that the author seems to send out the message that as long as you have the right charts etc. you can become a successful traders and only briefly mentiones the mental side of trading.
So if you are new to FOREX you might be abel to get a peak into the world of FOREX but reading this book won't make you an ace trader.

Summary: indeed, a sales pitch
Review: no, I dont believe the majority of folks who wrote negative reviews are disgruntled traders or former employees as one poster suggests. The fact is, Dicks' book IS a sales pitch for his software (cost, around 4 grand) and for his website. In fact, such a bias is not a good thing and the author himself confirms that suspicion when he suggests that "classical technical analysis" is not advisable, but computer drive TA (as in the Wizetrade software he peddles) IS. BTW, Wizetrade is somewhat effective in helping to identify TRENDING markets, although, no trader worth his salt should have to pay four thousand dollars to be told when a stock or currency is trending! Since markets don't always trend, you understand that other alternatives are necessary for playing *those* type of markets such as the use of oscillators, resistance levels, etc.
Buy Lucia's book, or better yet, simply go to FXCM or other comparable international currency brokerages who offer 30 day free demo trials and tutorials.

Summary: EXTREMELY let down
Review: Shame on me. I read the reviews and ignored them. Shame on James Dicks and McGraw-Hill for not delivering. I was looking for FOREX made easy. OR better yet, a nice easy to comprehend introduction to the world of FOREX. Well, this indeed is a giant ad for his companies and software. His products may actually be good but I'm not willing to even investigate them because I feel that I paid for a BIG ad. I found Dicks' book to be quite technical and not at all EASY to understand by any means. The only easy thing here is that he clearly is leading you down a path to buy his software and use his ALERT system at $170 per month. There is no insight to a SYSTEM here just basics that you can find anywhere including on the net. Don't waste your time buying this book!

Summary: Does NOT remotely resemble the title
Review: There is so little written about trading the Forex, I was exited about ordering this book. It is A HUGE disappointment. Very few pages are devoted to Forex. There is no Forex information you can't find free on Xpresstrade or probably most any other website. The whole book is a poorly arranged conglomeration of elementary technical and fundamental analysis techniques pertaining to stocks and futures, charting, indicators, etc. And he pushes his own Forex software.
If you want Forex info, don't even consider buying this book.
