Description of Forex Revolution

Foreign currency exchange - "Forex" - is rapidly emerging as today's most important new investment opportunity for active investors. Until recently, these markets were shrouded in myth and secrecy, and deliberately concealed by international financial firms and central banks. But revolutions in technology, regulation, and globalization have made Forex trading accessible to the individual investor.

Now, those investors have a complete, practical, and honest "user's guide" to Forex trading: Forex Revolution. Long-time trader Peter Rosenstreich explains why today's global economic conditions make Forex trading so powerfully attractive - and why it now offers some of the world's most explosive profit opportunities. He presents a clear-eyed and objective assessment of the risks of Forex markets, and demolishes the misconceptions that can cost new traders dearly. You'll master everything you need to know to trade Forex "hands-on" - from fundamental and technical trading strategies to the unyielding discipline that's essential to success.

Rostenreich reveals insider tips the "gurus" never tell you, offers expert advice on handling fast-moving, 24-hour markets, and previews the impact of radical changes such as the emergence of China. Unlike other books, Forex Revolution doesn’t require you to subscribe to costly services or purchase expensive tools. It gives you everything you need: the facts, the techniques, the resources, and most of all, the insider's edge.
