Helpful Forex Resources

Here's a list of helpful Forex related information and tools that I've found useful in quest to become a better trader. I hope you find them as beneficial as I did.

Books  

 

All about technical analysis by Constance M. Brown

This book was my first introduction to technical analysis, and is extremely well written, expansive in scope, and, in a word....mindblowing.

  The New Market Wizards by Jack Schwager

 Not specifically Forex related, but gives perspective on the scope and variety of profitable strategies available, and the mindset and thought process of some of the most successful traders in the world.

The Ed Ponsi Forex Playbook by Ed Ponsi

Details different trade setups for different time frames, as well as covering topics like risk management, and managing other peoples money.

 The Complete Turtle Trader by Michael J Covel

This is the true story behind the famous "Turtles" and the methodology behind their trading. For those who don't know, "The Turtles" were the ultimate experiment of nature vs. nurture when it comes to trading success. The most valuable part of the book IMO is the risk management system the turtles employed enabling them to scale into trades gaining massive leverage while keeping risk constant.

Free Internet Resources

 ICT's Youtube Channel

Michael J. Huddle, known by his alias "The Inner Circle Trader" is a veteran of the babypips.com forums and something of a legend on that site. He has created a constantly growing library of 30+ videos (some over an hour in length) that offer his unique, professional perspective on FX trading that could only come from ...well, a professional. He introduces critical concepts that hardly exist anywhere else in print and shares his own proprietary indicators for free that he uses in his own trading. He also provides periodic market analysis on the most commonly traded currency pairs, giving you some helpful directional guidance for the week ahead.
