Critic reviews

“Kathy Lien is one of the best and brightest in the currency field. Her new audiobook is a definite must for all new forex traders.

Good read for beginners

I found the information to be informative, and some of it reinforcing information that I have heard prior. This guidance is for the beginner like myself and solid.

Gook little introduction to the Forex market

Would you consider the audio edition of The Little Book of Currency Trading to be better than the print version?

I personally like both. One to listen to when busy or on the road, the other for quick references to pages or chapters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book to anybody who wants a quick understanding on how the Forex market works. It is surely a good introduction. The narration is excellent and easy on the ear which is very important. There is nothing worth listening to a book when the narrator is awfull, loud or has a strong accent.

Does not meet the title statement.

You will find nothing in the book about big profit in Forex market. It does not have practical advices and will be useful for novice people in Forex only. It talks about general philosophical stuff mostly.

If Tim Ferriss wrote a book about Forex

This was an excellent summary of the forex industry.

I was looking for a starters guide that would tell the story of how the forex market started, explain the philosophy behind why the forex market exists, and also teach me about different trading methods.

If you don't know much about Forex, this is an excellent place to start.

A good beginners book

If you are new to trading, this is a good place to start. However, for the intermediate trader, this book most likely does not contain much new information.

Good subject, good details, but...

It would have been nice to have a female narrator, being as the author was

Good overall

Good overview of forex trading with good basic strategies. Would recommend for beginners maybe not for advanced

Great book

If you could sum up The Little Book of Currency Trading in three words, what would they be?

Intellegently written, factual

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Little Book of Currency Trading?

Explanation of using news to trade forex

Have you listened to any of Walter Dixon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this is the first

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Little Book of Currency Trading?

The trading strategies and trading with news

Any additional comments?

Remember to download accompanying reference guide with graphs in, otherwise book won't make any sense.

Informative

This book is informative and I'm pretty sure that Ms. Lien is a genius at currency trading and makes a lot of money doing it. The book convinced me that, unless you have nothing else to do, and unless you are really, really smart, one should leave training for the professionals. The narration is a bit irritating.

Great, well worth it

I feel far more knowledgable and confident in formulating a positive trading strategy from this book
