Summary: make it easy for me...
Comment: I didn't actually read this, I'm just being mean because I hate authors who put pictures of themselves on the covers of their books. Gives me the impression that they are actually a greasy salesman and the book is nothing but a comeone for some seminar or website or anything else that can suck money out of you. The red power tie and the made easy title only reinforce that assumption and then I get extra cynical when the guy has funny name on top of it. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but let's face it...the guy looks like a Dick.

Summary: Forex Trades
Comment: This book provides excellent information on how to trade.
First, a fundamental analysis of the economy is critical.
Analyze trends in currencies and the underlying causes.
Next , the technical analysis is critical. This analysis
includes price trends and the effects of the trends.
The author advises to consider buying "at the dips".
Buying signals are at resistance breakthroughs and the
existence of definitive trends. Ascending triangles form
upward patterns which signal buying opportunities.
There are a number of other rule structures. i.e.
o Fibonacci extensions give the target price area.
o The DMI index provides an idea of direct movement.
o Bollinger bands are curves around the price structure.
o Stock trading volume is important, as well as the Price/
Earnings Ratio. Generally, investors do not want to pay
too much for a stock.
o The day charts show trading in 24 hour increments.
o Important economic indicators are inflation, employment,
consumer spending etc.
o The PPI shows the producer price index or change in prices.
In my experience, the FOREX INDICATORS are important with regard
to stock purchase/selling decisions.

Summary: skip this book
Comment: There is essentially no topic in this book presented with enough quality information to allow the reader to make any consistent profit from FOREX trading. If you picked the book up in a bookstore and wrote a list of the topics on a piece of paper, you would have a place to start your search. In other words, don't waste your money. The only reason I did not "hate the book" is because the information is essentially accurate. But trading FOREX successfully (actually any successful trading) is difficult. In this market you are trading with or against enormously deep pockets who know more than you.
If you want some alternative ideas, consider these three:
1. Currency Trading; Philip Gotthelf; Wiley; 2003
2. Day Trading the Currency Market; Kathy Lien; Wiley; 2006
3. Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom-second edition; Van K Tharp; McGraw-Hill; 2007.

Summary: Good for starting a software business
Comment: It is because I am an entrepreneur and a capitalist that I got into Forex trading. Therefore I must admire and respect those who achieve monumental success such as James Dicks. And I actually enjoy reading a book or e-book that is a good sales letter for another product. People who resent such things would do well to go through T.Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind training and other such wealth consciousness training. However, I think most people in the Forex world now realize that Forex Made Easy is a software that produces green arrows for a buy signal and red arrows for a sell signal. The programming behind the software, I am told, is based on a simple signal that is taught in at least a similar form in many introductory trading courses. Following the signal requires users to remain ignorant of all the other factors that could eliminate most of the losses. Many people who started out with Forex Made Easy have told me that they did not start learning to trade until they went on to other sources of training. I believe that Forex Made Easy may not have ever had their customer's best interest nor their success as a motivating factor when creating the company. They have made a huge amount of money with late night TV commercials and high pressure "free introductory seminars".
And now that their reputation is well known to be less than honorable the company has reincarnated as Premiere Trading with a new round of late night TV commercials. I am not saying that Premiere Trading is connected with Forex Made Easy. But apparently James Dicks is the leader of both companies. Of course, there is nothing wrong with advertising on late night TV. I am just a little concerned about the integrity of these organizations. The real profit in this industry is in finding a continuous stream of new customers and connecting them with an Introducing Broker and watching them lose their accounts in the first 6 months. Consequently, it is hard to find sources of help in the Forex world that are committed to the long term success of their clients. The industry is driven by the unregulated Forex brokers and most of the training and information that is available is geared toward what makes the most money for the brokers.

Summary: Good Book
Comment: I have never written a review before and might not have this time but I felt that I just had to make a statement. I hope that any person with even the slightest understanding of human nature can read between the lines of each of these reveiws.
It seems to be a battle of the author's product owners against the competitor's product owners. While there may be others sprinkled in it is obvious that this review section began as an attack on the author by those from his former company and then it starting going back and forth (although some are ok and are much more mature in their comments). The reviews don't seem to be really geared toward the subject at hand - a reveiw of the book and not one that is based on the dislike that the author left one company to make a better one. These types of reviews shouldn't even be allowed to be posted. As is happening with this post, the subject shouldn't be anything but an honest review of the book and not an emotional attack against a person going out and doing better.
I read this book after a family member purchased it and started trading. It was a nice introduction and isn't portrayed anywhere in between it's covers as being anything else. It has information to expose you to the forex market since so many are not familar with it. Much more detail and specifics are learned through forex sites, brokers etc etc but it was a good book for one interested in learning about what it is and it touches on the ways that it can be done.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well and there will always be those that "don't get it" and those that "don't want to get it" and those that "don't want other's to get it" so don't let the reviews here keep you from reading this book or taking control of your destiny.
My family has had products from both companies mentioned in these reviews and while they both work (if you work) the author's company, product, customer service, pricing and availibility are far better.
No book, system, software or package of any kind for any subject will meet the expectations or the needs of all the people all the time but if you read, study, practice, listen, and expose yourself with time, patience, persistence and positive thoughts then you will get something out of it. My entire family will be retired within the next 2 or so years as long as the written plan and goals continue on track. Thank you Mr Dicks.

The first plain-English introduction to foreign currency exchange trading--one of today's hottest profit opportunities The foreign currency market is the largest financial market in the world, and foreign exchange trading is quickly becoming one of today's most high-profile, potentially lucrative markets. One problem is that books on the topic are complex, technically dense, and difficult for Forex novices to grasp. FOREX Made Easy is the first book to approach the topic in a detailed yet accessible style, gradually and deliberately moving from simple to complex in easy and natural language. Author James Dicks--founder of the popular trading software 4X Made Easy--draws upon his trading knowledge to give readers only the information they need, from setting up a workstation to trading electronically. This Forex guidebook provides traders with: - An easy-to-follow, six-step process for FOREX trading
- Methods for gaining an advantage using technical analysis
- Dozens of examples to illustrate key points
