If you are tired of reading how-to books, this is perfect for you. I highly recommend this book to all traders. Everyone will learn something about themselves by reading this book." —Kathy Lien, author, Day Trading the Currency Market, and Chief Strategist, www.dailyfx.com
"Adventures of a Currency Trader is a must read for anyone who has ever traded or is thinking about trading in the Forex markets. Rob Booker has a unique way of taking years of market knowledge and transforming it into an educational and entertaining experience. It has quickly become a cult classic in my trading library!" —H. Jack Bouroudjian, Principal, Brewer Investment Group
"Brilliant! Rob's humor and humanity shine through in this parable about trading and life. Filled with wisdom and wit, it's an exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys of the learning curve, with many valuable lessons learned along the way." —Ed Ponsi, President, FXEducator.com
"Rob's fable of everyman 'Harry Banes' is destined to become a trading classic. This is both the missing piece and the foundation that comes before the strategies and methodologies. The search for the Holy Grail begins and ends in the heart and mind. The journey is authentic and real and if you're willing to take it with Rob, you will be rewarded in the end. Seldom has psychology and wisdom been so entertaining!" —Raghee Horner, trader and author of Forex Trading for Maximum Profit and Days of Forex Trading
"In a series of insightful and entertaining vignettes, Rob Booker teaches both the novice and the experienced trader some hard won truths about the currency market. It's a must read book written by a guy who survived the trenches and went on to prosper in the biggest and most competitive financial market in the world." —Boris Schlossberg, Senior Currency Strategist, Forex Capital Markets LLC, and author of Technical Analysis of the Currency Market
California Guy living in Japan I believe the author accomplished exactly what he meant to accomplish with this book. Some folks who gave less than stellar reviews were concerned that the book offered no in depth analysis on Harry's systems or was a bit unrealistic in the way Harry bounced back into becoming a good trader. My understanding of the overall theme, which is pointed out in the epilogue, is that one should stick to the "laws" of trading. Excellent book. Took me only a couple days to read and loved every moment of it.
Great Reading Though this book is based upon a fictional character as to how one got started into trading, it provides a very interesting reading into the psychology of a trader's mind. Do not expect the book to present any strategies for trading, it makes one think before acting. Have a plan before entering a trade instead of shooting by the hip....
My thoughts... I thought this book was done just fine..!! Rob Booker really wrote a book that happens to capture the mindset of every trader just starting out. I liked the fact that the book has a variety of scenarios, which encourages the trader in all of us to think outside the box. I look forward to reading other books that Rob wrote.
Un acercamiento sencillo y al punto Una manera muy didactica, y divertida la que nos presenta rob en su historia de Sr Banes. Excelente
cubre los aspectos que uno como trader novato comete, por que tiene que cometer.
Gracias Rob
A must-read for traders, experienced and novice alike! This is the best book I've read so far on trading. If you have ever traded currencies, or are thinking about it, you need to check this title out. There is a little bit (or a lot) of Harry Banes in all of us! Read this book before you take your next trade!
