Forex Trading
(208 pages, $19.95 hardcover, 2009, ISBN 978-1-934354-10-0) edited by Laura Sether, with an introduction by Russell R. Wasendorf Jr. and published by W&A Publishing.

Trading forex is completely different from trading other markets. With low entry costs, 24-hour accessibility, global players, and high degrees of leverage, there are enormous opportunities but also real potential hazards if you don’t know what you are doing. Leverage works both ways. Forex traders only need to focus on eight of the major currencies. It helps to know some fundamentals about the countries, but forex is also a highly technical form of trading. You will learn from several of the best forex traders in the world.
