The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing: How to Earn High Rates of Return Safely and Take Control of Your Investments
In recent years many smart investors have exited the stock market and other investment areas because they have essentially lost control of their investments. They have relied on the advice and skill of their brokers, bankers, and financial advisors. Many investment and retirement accounts have dwindled. Fortunately, there is a wonderful but little-understood alternative: currency trading and investing.
Currency trading is the practice of exchanging one country’s currency for another country’s currency. The foreign exchange (Currency or Forex or FX) market is the largest trading market in the world-exceeding $1.9 trillion every single day! Essentially there are four variables involved: currencies, exchange rate, time, and interest rate. The relationships of these variables create opportunities for small investors to obtain investment returns that are generally unheard of in the traditional investment world. You owe it to yourself and your family to learn about currency trading.
You can get started with just $100 or less, and the investment can easily be managed in a part-time capacity, usually requiring only a few hours on the Internet a week. Currency investments can provide you with a very high and secure rate of return, in some cases as high as 12%, 18%, 24%, or even 1,000% or more per year. If performed correctly, currency trading will far outpace all other investments. The key is to know how to perform this process correctly.
This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get started generating high-investment returns with low risk from start to finish, and you can start with less than $100.

With a lot of Americans being more and more in debt, people are always looking for a way to make money easily and risk free. The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing was written to help people understand what exactly currency trading is, how to reduce the risks that are involved with any type of investment, and what exactly you need to know before you start trading money. No type of investments is risk-free, but if you want to avoid some of these risks, this is the book to read, because it has everything you need to get started.
Burrell introduces readers to currency trading. First, she gives important information about the major central banks around the world, and how some of the fluctuations in prices of certain goods can affect the price of those currencies. Burrell also manages to tell about the ins and outs of FOREX, which is crucial for trading currencies. I found that the most important parts of this book were learning how to make a plan, how to do research on what currencies to buy and sell, and what information you need to reduce your risks. By the time I finished the end of this book, I was thinking like someone who had experience in trading money, able to understand the lingo that is used in the industry, knew how to open an account to trade money and had a bit of confidence in the subject.
One of the downsides of this book is that there isn’t a glossary, so if you need to refresh your memory on the meaning of one of these many terms, you have to rely on the index to go back and read up on it. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to diversify their portfolio, and has the time to actually do the research that’s involved in doing their own currency trades. The book is well written, easy to read, and full of information that is practical and difficult to find in any other single source. So, do I think that I will start investing in and trading currencies? Probably not, but I can see that this book can help others who are interested in learning more about the subject.

The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing is a comprehensive explanation of a difficult subject–trading world currency on the Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX). More than 90 percent of all currency trading involves the U.S. dollar, but other major currencies include Euros, yen, pounds, francs, Canadian dollars, and Australian dollars. The book describes the central banks which can influence the trading market, such as the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, and others. Their major role is to manage interest rates in an effort to control inflation. The book describes the FOREX market, a group of banks which trade either electronically or by telephone. It discusses the expansion of this market because of an increase in global trade and the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. Many unfamiliar terms are associated with the currency market—tranche, peg, free float, dirty float—and the author includes clear definitions. She also describes different types of trading, such as hub and spoke trading, click and deal, and quote trading, as well as types of brokers and how to choose the right one for you. A section of the book is devoted to interpreting and analyzing trends and data with strategies to minimize risk. The book contains extensive appendices, an index, and a reference section, which unfortunately lacks publishing data. This book covers a large amount of material in a clear, concise manner. This is a complicated subject that is hard to explain in one book, but Burrell does an excellent job.

Well-written and easy to understand, this book offers an excellent introduction to anyone looking to enter the complicated world of currency trading. To someone like me who had only a passing knowledge of the world of international finance, this books provides an strong base of knowledge and levels the playing field for a newcomer with a passion to learn. The chapter devoted to the Forex Market was especially useful to me and is a must read for anyone even just interested in learning more about currency trading and investing.
Like so many specialized fields, currency trading has its own language, language that can be daunting to a newcomer to the field. Burrell does a stellar job of weaving explanations of important terms seamlessly throughout the text. After reading this book, I feel much more confident getting involved in discussion about currency trading and in following the market news. I also feel Burrell made clear the possible perils of currency trading and investing, never seeking to glamorize this volatile market.
Burrell’s obvious knowledge on the subject combined with strong writing skills made this book enjoyable to read and easy to understand. Whether you’re a former English major who never took a class on finance, or a former Finance major just trying to reconnect with the industry, this book is a must-have for the reference shelf of anyone interested in currency trading and investing.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Both FOREX and investing are very deep subjects. I anticipated that upon reviewing this book, I would be greeted by a stuffy, overblown financial dictionary full of terminology that I couldn’t understand.
I was wrong.
This book takes a very deep and complex subject and breaks it down in to easy to digest chunks that makes FOREX and investing very easy to understand. An easy read, I could not put it down.
So why not 5 out of 5 stars? Why the 1/2 star deduction?
Just a little too much filler. For example, there are pages that are taken up by graphs instead of content. Because the author, Jamaine Burrell, wrote this book so well…I would have liked to have seen more content, and less graphic presentation.
Enjoy this book. I did.

“From basic traders’ lingo to more complex currency market trend analysis, this book gives the reader sound advice on how to navigate any trading weather.”
In today’s fast paced economy, the rules of currency trading are perpetually changing and what was gained one moment might be lost the next. However, those that are dedicated enough to hold fast and ride the trading tides have been thrown a lifeline when Jamaine Burrell published the Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing. Written with the aire of a business tutorial, readers will learn the basics of the FOREX market and currency trading along with more advanced trading techniques such as hub and spoke, click and deal, and quote trading. Within this guide are chapters dedicated to the ins and outs of trading, currency research, risk reduction and planning, interpreting and analyzing data trends, online trading and insider veteran secrets. Unfortunately for the reader, a glossary is not included but the loss is manageable with the given index. Burrell has effectively tackled a complicated subject and made the difficult world of currency trading accessible to everyone. This is a very good single source guide for anyone with an interest in getting ahead in the currency trading market.

If you are at all interested in the FOREX market, you will find a lot of useful information and tips within this book. With a foreword by the president of Excel Futures, Jamaine Burrell explains the ins and outs of the currency market in an organized and detailed manner. Readers will learn the importance of a diverse portfolio, patterns in the market and risks to be aware of when investing in the currency market. You will learn the difference between an interbank market and a retail market, as well as what to watch for in terms of fraudelent brokers who make fasle claims, thrusting you directly into the exhilarating storm of the FOREX market. This book is truly dedicated to bringing about “the highest returns with the least amount of risk.”
Although more than 90 percent of all currency trades involve the U.S. dollar, Burrell gives a brief overview of currency alliances and how each national bank works. I found it humorous to note that the Japanese currency market becomes liquid during the lunch hour because when the experienced traders take their lunch break, junior traders take over for that precious hour of time. However, the FOREX market is still going strong, as it is estimated to generate a volume of over $1.9 trillion per day.
For such a complex subject, Burrell simplifies currency trading concepts and success tactics so that readers can understand and prepare for involvement in a seemingly intimidating market. He breaks down key concepts into a manageable set of goals and outlines what needs to be done to boost confidence and make sound investments in such a vast and fragile market, and ultimately paves the way for success.

The author has managed to take a very complex subject and break it down into easy to read chapters. The book is packed with technical material, but it all has been laid out in a way that a novice can follow. The only thing hard about the book is keeping all the Country abbreviations straight.
The book does and excellent job of explaining how the currency markets work. It has fascinating background on how the markets where formed and when.
This book is not a casual read it is for someone who wants to come away with a clear picture of how currency trading works. A nice amount of case studies are included and there is a very nice appendix.

THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO CURRENCY TRADING AND INVESTING
How to Earn High Rates of Return Safely and Take Control of Your Investments
By Jamaine Burrell
This book provides a detailed overview of the whole complex system of currency trading and investing, with chapters explaining just what currency trading is (the pitting of one country’s currency against another country’s by foreseeing its rise and fall), the central banking systems of the world, The FOREX market, the language of FOREX (the currency market jargon), the techniques of fundamental and technical analysis and the mechanics of it all.
If you have the kind of mind that loves challenges, and are willing to expend the time and energy it takes to succeed, you will emerge from this study with the ability to develop your own trading strategy to enter the fascinating and potentially profitable field of currency trading.
With fast Internet access and a quick brain, anyone can trade in the FOREX (Foreign Exchange Market, a global network of currency dealers), but it’s not for everyone, the author cautions. She warns that “the risk of this type of investment is high” and it should really be reserved for investors who are able to absorb any losses, which can multiply rapidly. It’s not for those with modest incomes and savings.
That said, brokers will take your account for as little as $1,000 and some will sometimes accept a mini account with as little as $100 deposit, which may be a good way to test the waters and see if such trading is for you. You will learn how to pick a “good” broker and avoid a “bad” one. A case study in successful currency trading is included.
Whether you eventually decide to become a currency trader or not, after reading this book, you will have gained a better understanding of how the world’s complex economy works and what’s behind it all. You will understand the potential cause and consequences when the Fed comes out and announces, ”The interest rate is being raised (or lowered) another quarter percent.” A currency’s value is not tied to the stock market, but its balance of trade does help predict its value. For example, Canada used to be such a “bargain” for Americans but now, the Canadians, thanks to the current currency exchange rate, are finding our country full of “bargains” instead.

The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing
by
Jamaine Burrell
Well Jamaine has done it again. She has written another book about m.oney. This time we are going to learn about currency trading and investing.
Now the US dollar is the cornerstone of the worlds economy. What we learn from Jamaine’s book is that the euro is now used by 300million people. It is fast becoming a rival.
There is a nice little write up about the G8. Now did you know about the power wheeled by the central bank? When they lower interest rates this makes it easier to borrow m.oney. In turn this stimulates economic growth and consumption.
I’ve learnt that Japan has the world’s second largest economy. Switzerland the 4th largest holder of gold.
The Forex market operates 24hrs a day around the world. The reason for this is there has been an increase in global trade and foreign investment. Forex is a global network of currency dealers.
The Language of Forex, which is found in chapter 4, gives a run down on different terms. Such as:
Base currency
Ticks
Quote currency
Cross currency pairs
Pips
Market order
Limit order
Stop order
She shows how your m.oney can be doubled. Jamaine tells what to look out for and what not to do. There are traps and pitfalls so be careful. Technical analysis is the most used method of making decisions. And always remember, only invest what you can afford to lose.

I have heard about currency trading and investing but was not well-versed in this market. Who knew that the Euro may someday replace the United States dollar as the “currency kept in reserve by the world”? I certainly did not. Of course, you see, most of what Jamaine Burrell talks about in his book, “The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing,” is stuff many of us do not know about until after years of experience in the market of Foreign Exchange (or Forex). This book is especially good for novice investors, who need to have complicated investing concepts explained. The great thing about Burrell’s tone is that he is not condescending, or “dumbs down” the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice.
I was particularly interested in this book, especially as our nation is facing a weakening dollar, because I hear so much nowadays about the foreign markets and how many are investing in and trading currency. Apparently, the Forex market really is an accessible investment that can pay the investor quite well if he or she knows how to get involved in the Forex market and understands how it works.
That is why I felt Burrell’s book was so helpful for me. It explains how the Forex market works, why the United States is such an important player in the world market, how to get involved, and does a great job illustrating the many indexes, factors, and issues that contribute to currency-value fluctuation and the overall global economy.
For anybody who fears getting lost in a book about a complex investment market like Forex never fear. Though Burrell quickly dives into terminology, acronyms, and details at length some topics, he clearly was aiming the book toward novice folks like myself and does a good job at clarifying complicated matters and never introduces an acronym (like GDP) without telling the reader what the full term is (Gross Domestic Product) and how it relates to the topic at hand (”The GDP is the yearly total value of all goods and services produced,” as he explains on page 157). That is yet another great thing about this book—Burrell’s tone is not condescending, nor does he “dumb down” the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice. If you are looking for a book that introduces and explains some of the basics (and details) about foreign currency trading, I feel “The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing” makes for an ideal guide indeed.
5 Star Rating!
