Fundamentals of Currency Trading


Book Description

Coming from a family of investors and graduating with a finance degree from Singapore, I've read tons of books on trading and also spent over $60,000 just to learn about the financial markets. Applying what I've learned over the years, I've managed to clinch the #1 grand prize at a Singapore nationwide forex trading championship. Since I have a finance background, I want to write a book from a professional trader's perspective rather than a retail trader's perspective. Most retail traders focus too much on technical analysis. However, this is not a sufficient trading tool if one wants to succeed as a trader. A lot of the educational content that you see online is also too focused on technical analysis alone. This is a tool that you'll need as a currency trader, but it is not the most important tool. In fact, bank traders and hedge fund traders don't even use a lot of indicators. Their charts are often very clean since they are using other tools to analyse the markets. To become a successful forex trader, you'll need to have the whole package. That is why in this currency trading book, I'll teach you the various tools you'll need to succeed as a forex trader. You'll learn: Basic terms and principles of currency trading Fundamental analysis (economic indicators, central banks, monetary policies, currency fundamentals) Sentiment analysis (high yield and low yield currencies, fear index) Introduction to Brokers (types, criteria for picking, action plan) Price action strategies (candlestick patterns, support & resistance, trendlines, moving averages, and momentum indicators) Risk management tools and application Trading psychology hacks Trading plan (template included) Trading journal (template included) How to sustain your trading business BONUS: Useful websites for traders So much more...... Add these tools to your trading plan and you'll be able to increase the probability of your trades. Most forex traders trade in a bubble relying too much on indicators alone, that is why they lose. Most retail forex traders also do not bother to look at other markets and use the power of correlations to their advantage. I'll share with you in this currency trading book on how you can conduct intermarket analysis as well. Experienced currency traders can also pick up some new trading hacks or even use this book as a refresher. Non-trading professionals will also be able to learn how the various economic indicators can affect their lives and the overall economy. At the end of this trading book, I'll share with you tips and tricks on how you can sustain your trading account and trading business. This is so that you can last long term as a currency trader since most traders quit just after a few months. At the end of the day, it is your decision whether you wanna buy this book or not. If you don't want to spend money on a forex trading book, then you can always head to my Youtube channel (Karen Foo) for free courses. You decide. Happy learning!
