Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A lot of filler. An intro to forex book. Comment: You have to wait till chapter 10 before you see something unique to the book. The other chapters are spent talking about what you can read up on most forex websites. The last two chapters 9&10 are spent on know thy self, analysis, setups and strategy. The setups/analysis is mainly based on bollinger bands. Not exactly keen on Bollinger bands, so my interest was nil. If you are a complete beginner to forex, this book may be useful..maybe. Customer Rating: Summary: Uncommon read Comment: I was pleasantly surprised. I expected classic views, as state in the title, but in fact it has lots of specific info about forex trading and mechanics. I even liked the parts not related to TA more than that dealing with classic TA. Customer Rating: Summary: Offers a good sample of technical tools and how to use them Comment: A good book if you are looking to day trade for longer term trading there are better resources. Boris has an aggressive style of trading with a propensity for damage control through positional reversal, it makes for an exciting day! Customer Rating: Summary: Show me the money! Comment: Have you noticed that 99% of the time, technical analysis authors never backtest the systems they are writing about (or if they do they never reveal the results) ? This book is no exception. Well I am sick and tired of that nonsense! Where is the PROOF that the systems are profitable? How many pips profit (if any!) will the system generate per month on average? What is the worst drawdown? None of these issues are addressed in the book, even though it would take only minutes to backtest most of the techniques (setups as the author calls them) using software like Omega Trade Station! In other words we are supposed to trade the systems presented in the book (and risk our hard-earned money) without even knowing if they are profitable or not in the long run. I am not saying that this book is worthless, I just want the PROOF that these forex systems are indeed profitable and do not generate huge drawdowns in the process. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Good Forex Primer Comment: I have been trading in forex for over 3 years, but hadn't really studied or made use of the technical tools at my disposal. This book gives a very good overview of all the forecasting tools that come with most trading platforms. Schlossberg stays objective about the advantages and drawbacks of each technique rather than pimping his own personal style, thus giving the reader the ability to review all the different tools and utilize the ones that work best for him. Some of his examples and diagrams seemed to be counter-intuitive to what he was describing, so that was a bit of a drawback. I also would have liked to see more in-depth examples to show how a trader would look at each step in each technique rather than an all-inclusive chart showing every part of the example. That got a bit confusing at times. Overall, though, I am very pleased with the book and the information it gives. It is objective, concise, and well prepared. I would recommend this book to anyone who is still trying to understand the forex forecasting tools that are available and how to use them.
