    Description of Getting Started in Currency Trading

    An accessible introduction to the exploding foreign exchange trading market

    Getting Started in Currency Trading is both an introduction and reference tool for beginning and intermediate foreign exchange (Forex) traders. This information-packed resource opens with a clear description of the Forex market and a section of Forex terms that are clearly defined with examples.

    Readers are then shown how to open their own trading account with step-by-step instructions - accompanied by numerous screen shots of what to expect inside a dealer's trading platform - that walk them through the physical process of placing and liquidating currency orders.

    Other chapters introduce various trading strategies and tactics in detail, along with some fundamental and technical analysis to assist the trader in their decision-making process.
