I am currently reading various books on forex trading to improve my skills because, in fact, these books are very helpful, whether you're a beginner or have some experience already.
Starting with *The Black Book of Forex* by Paul Langer, which is quite easy to understand. The author shares his real-life experiences, having lost $50,000 and then recovered. This book is suitable for those who are still confused about their first forex trade. It contains practical techniques, not just empty theories.
Then there's *Currency Trading for Dummies* written by Paul Mladjenovic and others. This book covers almost all the basics, from how the market works, factors affecting currency values, to how to read data. The terminology isn't too difficult.
For those with limited capital who want to trade, I recommend reading *How to Start a Trading Business with $500* by Heikin Ashi Trader. It's really good. He teaches how to start with a small amount of money and gradually increase it.
Another forex trading book I like is *Trading in the Zone* by Mark Douglas, which focuses on trading psychology. Because, in reality, most traders' problems don't come from formulas or techniques but from emotions and self-control. This book helps you understand this much better.
If you want to learn good money management, try to find the book *Forex Trading Money Management System* by Don Guy. The system he explains is practical and not complicated.
For those who enjoy in-depth analysis, Dave Matias's *Forex* emphasizes fundamental analysis, which is the foundation of good trading.
There are two more books suitable for those wanting to try different techniques: *FOREX THE HOLY GRAIL* by Simone Siesto, which offers a new perspective, and *The Sensible Guide to Forex* by Cliff Wachtel, ideal for long-term investors.
A key tip for choosing a good forex trading book is to first understand what kind of trading you do. Do you prefer short-term or long-term trading? Technical analysis or fundamental analysis? Then find a book that matches your style. Also, check the author's background to see if they have real success.
Generally, these books help you learn from others' experiences, which is much faster than trial and error on your own. I recommend reading at least two or three books to gain different perspectives.
