Don't waste your time here. Big disappointment.
Cofnas writes a monthly article in Futures Magazine which is what led me to this book to begin with. Since his contributions to the magazine are only one page and seemingly topical I thought I'd get the seven course dinner here.
What I got was a reheated burger and warmed over fries.
This man really needs to take some courses on writing books. Thoughts disjointed. Incomplete thoughts. Rambling thoughts.

This book is supposed to be for beginners in forex. But it is very poorly done. It mostly deals with fundamental analysis, but in a very unorganized and unstraight forward fashion. He shows bar charts and candlestick charts without bothering to explain how to read them. He even starts talking about pips without explaining what a pip is. Then he just gives the standard overview of technical analysis. Nothing truly in depth. He mentions using a practice account, but kind of pooh-poohs it. Then he challenges ... Read More

Definately for beginners - deals with some fundamentals, but not much more. The final chapter of the book directs the reader to the author's website and promises that one can download the " Learn4x Trading Pad " which " uniquely offers built-in analytics on trader performance, allowing the trader to track key performance results". The link however doesn't work and I was unable to find, much less download the Trading Pad at the author's site. I did see several inducements to purchase his book. This was a real ... Read More

This book fills the need for an entry level FX course, so if you're just starting out, it is probably a good choice. I've got some experience in the securities industry, and I'm afraid I find it sloppy and shallow. If you're taking a class taught by a knowledgeable professor, the book should work well to set you up for lectures. Personally I was hoping for more (I have a background in the securities industry), but I did learn from the book, and Mr. Cofnas does a pretty good job of pointing you to resources on ... Read More

At the outset, let me say that I am definitely at the beginner level with regard to the trading of currencies on forex, but I do feel that I learned a lot after reading this book.
The most important lesson that I took away is that the novice trader needs to spend a heck of a lot of time trying different strategies risking very small amounts of money before before diving in and putting significant amounts at risk. Although there is nothing wrong with learning to trade with a practice account, the ... Read More
