Just saw a post about good forex trading books, so I remembered that I’ve read many books when starting to trade. I’d like to share which books are truly valuable.



At first, I read "The Black Book of Forex Trading" by Paul Langer, which is based on his real experience. This book is suitable for beginners to intermediate traders. The main idea is to help you avoid common traps that most traders fall into. After reading, I felt he really understood the problems of beginners.

If you want to understand the basics without confusion, "Currency Trading for Dummies" is also good. It’s written clearly and covers everything from how the market works, factors affecting currencies, to analysis techniques. Perfect for those who have never known about the Forex market before.

For those with limited capital, "How to Start a Trading Business with $500" by Heikin Ashi Trader is helpful. He shows that even with limited starting money, you can trade full-time if you manage your finances well.

"Forex Trading: The Basics Explained in Simple Terms" by Jim Brown is a book I like because he shares his own experiences. Starting from manually drawing charts to trading at a high level, and he also provides free indicators.

For trading psychology, "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas really hits home because it helps you understand why we often lose money. It’s often not because the strategy is bad, but because the mind isn’t strong. This book teaches how to develop discipline and emotional management.

"Forex" by Dave Matias emphasizes fundamental analysis. It’s good for those who want to understand why the market moves, not just look at charts.

"Forex Trading Money Management System" by Don Guy is also useful. It focuses on money management and risk, which are often overlooked by beginners.

"FOREX THE HOLY GRAIL" by Simone Siesto challenges traditional trading methods. It offers new perspectives on the market.

"The Sensible Guide to Forex" by Cliff Wachtel is suitable for those interested in long-term investing and risk reduction. He has over 30 years of experience in financial markets. His writing is very realistic.

When choosing books, consider what kind of trading you want—short-term or long-term? Do you prefer technical or fundamental analysis? Also, check the author’s background. If they have real experience, the knowledge they share is usually valuable.

For beginners, I recommend starting with simple books like "Currency Trading for Dummies" or "Forex Trading: The Basics," then move on to more in-depth books. Randomly reading without guidance can be very confusing.

In fact, these books help you better understand the Forex market and reduce common mistakes made by beginners. It’s better than trial and error on your own. If you’re interested in trading Forex, give these a read. You’ll gain some useful knowledge either way.
