Does anyone know of an ebook which starts you off from the very very basics of forex and then gradually builds up to brokers, currencies, money management, trading etc...

The book must be designed for someone who has never even heard of Forex or "Foreign Exchange" and yet will take the reader by the hand and spoon feed them till they are fairly familiar with the whole forex scenario.

Is there such a book?

Hi Jetheat,

I have been getting Joe Ross's "Manual" by instalments for a couple of months now. I am up to Ch 22. Go to his web page and he will send these regularly to who ever registers via email. The chapters are in pdf format.

I have attached a copy of his "Contents" and I thank Joe here, for his service.
Hope this helps a bit....

Thanks Fairwind.

By the look of the chapters, it seems like he steps into the heart of it pretty quickly.

I need a book which starts of explaining what Forex is and then the other simple basics such as what a pip is and what Eur/USD means etc...

You know, something which would explain it as if it were teaching a schoolkid.

Any ideas?

[fairwind]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

The only reference at that level I have seen is on the broker sites. FXCM covers some of the topics you mention albeit briefly. Their stuff can be d/loaded to .pdf or .txt, in 5 pages. As I said, it's brief.

It starts here...

Yes, I see what you mean. It really is brief. Thanks for your help.

Anyone else know of such a book? or do I have to write one of those as well?

Hi Jetheat,

I have your book (which I think is a great one), so if you decide to write another one for forex introduction, I am sure it will help of a lot of people in the future. I stumbled into realtimeforex.com and they have a free online tutorial under their education tab. It is Ok for starters.
