Do not waste your time and money. The “authors” (much a dignified word for the compilers of this mismatched and unfocused jumble of trivial materials) are the owners of PFG Inc., and the obvious purpose of this book is to get your business. Their main tactics are: a) The tedious description of all conceivable risks associated with broker selection, the implication being that they (PFG Inc.) are the no-risk choice. b)Four chapters grinding the theme of how risky is to do it on your own (chapter 2: “What you don’t know may hurt you”, chapter 4: “Buyer beware, be very aware”, chapter 5: “Are you qualified to invest in Forex?” and chapter 9: “The sensitive question of risk, risk, risk …”) and one (chapter 7) where they tie it all leading you to the grand conclusion: use the services of Currency Investment Managers! (Your choice shoulod be them, of course.) Of the 241 pages, 114 pages are apendices with forms, primitive-looking graphs, and glosaries you can find in a couple minutes for free using a search engine. Voila’, there you have it: nothing about trading, much about cover-selling you their services.

I have been trading futures and options for 11 years. I have written three books on the subject. This is the worst example of authoring that I have ever seen. There are no real insights into the subject of Foreign Currency Trading. Mr.Wasendorf fails dismally at being objective and goes overboard in promoting his company PFG. I was sorely disappointed. I was really looking forward to additional insight into Foreign Currency Trading.

… I have no idea what objective these guys had in mind when they sat down to write this book…. This book is just a bunch of information thrown together (probably downloaded from the internet) and they obviously took no time to put any real effort into this book. I was terribly dissappointed with my purchase of this book…..look elsewhere if you are interested in getting started in forex trading.

PFG (the authors company) was GIVING this away late March ’02… Good thing too as its extremely weak. Almost half is devoted to Glossaries, Charts, and “standard FX agreement – easily downloadable from any FX firm). In fairness, the reading is a decent commentary regarding risks involved in FX. If your looking for some real “meat” to further understand FX, you wont find it here!

this book has one helpful area; it gives you a good list of questions to ask your forex broker/dealer before you sign on as customer; appears to be casting for clients for his firm; otherwise a waste of eyeballs.
