Praise for ADVENTURES of a CURRENCY TRADER
"A truly easy, unique, and enjoyable read! Rob has done it once
again to teach us in the funniest way possible how not to make the
most common trading mistakes. If you are tired of reading how-to
books, this is perfect for you. I highly recommend this book to all
traders. Everyone will learn something about themselves by reading
this book."
--Kathy Lien, author, Day Trading the Currency Market,
and Chief Strategist, www.dailyfx.com
"Adventures of a Currency Trader is a must read for
anyone who has ever traded or is thinking about trading in the
Forex markets. Rob Booker has a unique way of taking years of
market knowledge and transforming it into an educational and
entertaining experience. It has quickly become a cult classic in my
trading library!"
--H. Jack Bouroudjian, Principal, Brewer Investment Group
"Brilliant! Rob's humor and humanity shine through in this
parable about trading and life. Filled with wisdom and wit, it's an
exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys of
the learning curve, with many valuable lessons learned along the
way."
--Ed Ponsi, President, FXEducator.com
"Rob's fable of everyman 'Harry Banes' is destined to become a
trading classic. This is both the missing piece and the foundation
that comes before the strategies and methodologies. The search for
the Holy Grail begins and ends in the heart and mind. The journey
is authentic and real and if you're willing to take it with Rob,
you will be rewarded in the end. Seldom has psychology and wisdom
been so entertaining!"
--Raghee Horner, trader and author of Forex Trading for
Maximum Profit and Days of Forex Trading
"In a series of insightful and entertaining vignettes, Rob
Booker teaches both the novice and the experienced trader some hard
won truths about the currency market. It's a must read book written
by a guy who survived the trenches and went on to prosper in the
biggest and most competitive financial market in the world."

Market
