Beat the Forex Dealer / Wiley Trading Series (ePub)

The foreign-exchange market is often referred to as the
Slaughterhouse where novice traders go to get 'chopped up'. It is
one of egos and money, where millions of dollars are won and lost
every day and phones are routinely thrown across hectic trading
desks. This palpable excitement has led to the explosion of the
retail FX market, which has unfortunately spawned a new breed of
authors and gurus more than happy to provide misleading and often
downright fraudulent information by promising traders riches while
making forex trading 'easy'.

Well I'll let you in on a little secret: there is nothing easy
about trading currencies. If you don't believe me then stop by
Warren Buffet's office and ask him how he could lose $850m betting
on the dollar or ask George Soros why his short yen bets cost him
$600m not once but twice in 1994. What's wrong with these guys,
don't they read FX books?

In reality, the average client's trading approach combined with the
unscrupulous practices of some brokers make spot FX trading more
akin to the games found on the Vegas strip than to anything seen on
Wall St. The FX market is littered with the remains of day traders
and genius 'systems,' and to survive in the long-run traders have
to realize that they are playing a game where the cards are clearly
stacked against them.

Have you ever had your stop hit at a price that turned out to be
the low/high for the day? Bad luck perhaps? Maybe. What if it
happens more than once? Do you ever feel like the market is out to
get you? Well guess what, in this Zero Sum game it absolutely
is.

Covering the day-to-day mechanics of the FX market and the
unsavoury dealings going on, Beat the Forex Dealer offers traders
the market-proven trading techniques needed to side-step dealer
traps and develop winning trading methods. Learn from an industry
insider the truth behind dirty dealer practices including:
