Mathematical Methods
of Foreign Exchange
Alexander
Lipton, Financial Engineer
A detailed and yet comprehensible description of how to apply the latest

Training for the Trader
Maximizing Performance
with Focus and Discipline
by Ari Kiev
An analysis
of a trader’s psyche. Although trading is widely acknowledged as an art,
albeit one that requires incredible innate intuition and feel for the
markets, Kiev prescribes ‘getting into the zone’– a psychological state
that one can create – for those aiming to achieve a higher level of performance.
His anecdotes, case studies, interviews and tales of the ‘Master Trader’
are both instructive and insightful. A compelling read.

If
the prescriptions for getting rich that are written in books such as
The Millionaire Next Door and Rich Dad Poor Dad are successful
enough to make the books bestsellers, then why, we ask ourselves, aren't
there more millionaires? Taleb, a professional trader and mathematics
professor, examines what randomness means in business and in life and
why human beings are so prone to mistake dumb luck for consummate skill.
The
Future of Currency Trading
Tug
of War
Paul
Erdman, Economist
Predicting Financial Future of Currency in a suspenseful way, prominent
economist Paul Erdman looks at the ongoing currency crisis and predicts
what effect it will have on the American economy. "This concise, lucid
primer . . . will transform the financially illiterate person into an

Foreign Exchange
and Money Markets Guide
Julian
Walmsley (Wiley Frontiers in Finance Series)
Over the past few years, enormous changes have reshaped the foreign
exchange markets: the swaps market has grown significantly, the euro
looms large, and derivative instruments are increasing daily. In this
totally revised and expanded guide, Walmsley provides investors and
corporate officers with practical and accessible guidance. 
"What every American needs to know about money. A gripping real-life adventure into the secret world of the international banking cartel." Edward Griffin covers some immensely important topics, the creation of the Federal Reserve system, the history of money, the conspiratorial theory of history, and the future of global socialism toward which we are being propelled, all written in a manner which is enlightening, scholarly, as compelling as it is entertaining.
The Lexus and The Olive Tree
As Friedman sees the concept of globalization, at first glance it s all about American hegemony, about McDollars in all corners of the globe. But the reality, involves international relations, global markets, and the rise of the power of individuals (Bill Gates, Osama Bin Laden) relative to the power of nations which this book explores in an enlightening way. We found it to be a good book for nurturing a 'Master Trader' perspective of our world.
Financial Security
in Troubled Times
A basic 8-Point Action Plan written by Ric Edelman, author of bestseller
"Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth" in response
to the many urgent concerns of viewers of his television and radio programs

it makes a caring gift for initiating the topic of creating financial
security. (All proceeds from sales donated to

The
Entertainment Side Of Forex
The
Day Trader - Paperback Fiction
On the basis of previous novels such as The Vulture Fund (1996) and The
Inner Sanctum (1997), Frey could be called the Grisham of financial thrillers.
Here, he offers an interestingly implausible story of the murder-mix-up
world of a novice day trader (in stocks). We patiently predict that the
day of The Forex Thriller will come.
Rollover (Video)
1981
Starring Jane Fonda and Kris Kristofferson
Director Alan
J Pakula calls this financial science fiction, others call it paranoid
conspiracy theory. We found the most fascinating feature of this movie
was the antique computer equipment used at the time. But still, in a surprising
absence of movies dealing with the exciting world of Forex Trading, this
historical precedent movie is really the reason every dedicated forex
trader will want to see it.
Rogue Trader
(Video) 1998
Starring Ewan McGregor
Anyone contemplating trading should see this movie just to feel the insidious
desperation and stress of trying to fix losing trades by simply creating
a little more margin. This is the poignantly true story of Leeson, a Forex
Trader for Britain's prestigious Barings Bank, who caused the bank's complete
collapse with his rogue trading and was imprisoned in the mid-90's.
