Summary: Technical Analysis Applications in the Global Currency Marke
Review: The book is very good for my trading. While Mr. Luca focuses so accurately on FX, it also makes perfect sense for a commodity trader like myself, who wants to break into currency trading. I appreciate the layered approach of the book. With a bit of personal exercise I will definitely be able to apply these concepts. Excellent book.

Summary: Terrible book on FX trading!
Review: The last 5-6 reviews were written by the same person with multiple ID's to boost the overall rating! The language is nearly the same. This book was written by someone with a basic understanding of FOREX; probably thumbed through a few books. The writing is terrible to follow and does not cover any material to allow you to grow as a trader. I doubt this guy ever made money trading FOREX!

Summary: cannot find a niche
Review: This book is easy to read and quite comprehensive. But the TA techniques are not very specific to the FX market. If the author can give more explaination about using TA in the FX then this book should be a best buy. There are many good TA books in the market, but most of them only discussed TA for the stocks and futures markets. I feel there should some differences between them and the FX market. This book should have fill this niche, but it didn't! Sigh!

Summary: Ordinary TA Book
Review: This is a very simplistic TA book that can be applied to any tradable instrument. You might as well buy John Murphy's book and formulate your own strategies relating to Forex. Very dissapointed..

Summary: Technical Analysis Applications in the Global Currency Marke
Review: Unlike other technicians, Luca doesn't clobber the reader with certain pet indicators such as momentum or MACD. He doesn't push certain studies such as Elliott Wave, which might be difficult for a beginner. What he does is present all the tools technicians might employ in their work and emphasize their pros and cons. In fact, in the last chapter Luca even advises NOT to attempt using all studies but select those that are best suited for each individual. Technical analysis applies pretty equally across the board, but I found it really useful to see it so clearly applied to currencies. I can't really relate well with a chart of IBM for example when my interest lies really with the euro. I also found very useful to see the long-term charts of the major and thus get a clear perspective of the movement. Some politicians complain these days that the yen is weak at 130 to the dollar, but I can see on the charts in the book that there were more than 200 yen to the dollar in the 80s and 80 yen to the dollar in the mid 90s. Perspective helps. I also like to see clear parts of the book dealing extensively with candlesticks or point-and-figure charts, for example. I had had trouble dealing with point-and-figure charts before but Luca made it clear how they work and how they can help you. I like the easy to follow structure of the book. Whether you are a beginner (like myself) or more advanced, you can find this book of interest. Just select your area of interest. I selected the entire book.

Review: Wham bam, he does it again! Luca leaves no facet of technical analysis unturned. It's just as easy to read as it is to understand. I learned a few more tricks about moving averages and stochastics.
