What people are saying...
I was a bit skeptical prior to ordering this as it is only 72 pages in length. However the author covered concepts and principles in very direct and easy to understand manner. I have read other authors that would have no doubt used three times the verbiage and none of the clarity possessed by Jim Brown. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase. - Darrell R Allen
Buy "Forex for Dummies" or something similar for a detailed background of Forex, then buy this book. It is well written and to the point. I recently paid $40 for a system which did not do much but generate daily emails promoting many more expensive systems. Jim's free system is easy to implement and follow, and it works. Also, there is no upselling. I felt that he wants people to succeed. I also bought his other book, which includes another free system. Both will be valuable to new Forex traders like myself. - Terrence E Winnie
This book, using an easy language, explains all things needed to start trading Forex. The included bonus system is also very easy to understand. The system gave me for example 125 pips trading EURUSD on 16 th June. - Amazon Customer
