Product Description
Research programs in economics usually emerge from the intersection between a new analytical approach and a real economic problem. In the past few years, such a program has emerged in international monetary economics, which is underpinned by a theoretical framework grounded in stochastic calculus and the increasing prominence in the real world of the international monetary arrangements under which national monetary authorities attempt to keep exchange rates within bands or "target zones." This new program of research also covers switches in exchange rate regimes. This volume from the Centre for Economic Policy Research (UK) and the National Bureau of Economic Research (US) includes contributions from most of the active participants in the development of this new field, and will serve as a useful introduction to this new research program. ...

Excellent book, ridiculous price
I got this book and a copy of another book by Michael Rosenberg "Exchange Rate Determination".The contents of these two books is exactly the same. Same topics covered in both books. I made the mistake of purchsing both when I should have only bought Exchange Rate Determination which is priced more decently than the out-of-print version.These used book resellers are selling the Currency forecasting book at a non-sense exorbitant price.

Currency Forecasting
This is a great book! Rosenberg has succeeded in making a dry andcomplicated topic, foreign exchange, both interesting and understandable.The chapter on intervention is especially timely and enlightening.Rosenberg is rated tops in his field by professional fx traders and portfolio managers, yet he has succeeded in writing a book that is both useful and interesting to both professionals and nonprofessionals. This is a must read for anyone involved in international markets. ... Read more

Product Description
Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets is a major new theoretical and empirical study of international currencies that focuses on the role the Euro (the future European currency) will play in the international monetary and financial system, along with the US dollar and the Japanese yen. In contrast to much of the existing literature that approaches the subject from a macroeconomic perspective, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical model that uses game theory, time series and panel econometrics, and links financial markets analysis with transaction cost economics. The resultsare presented with reference to political, historical and institutional considerations, and provide accessible answers topolicy makers, business people and scholars world wide. ...

The worst Forex Book I've ever read
To make a long story short, reviewer StormFury says it all ... and I subscribe 100% to his excellent review. He details on all major shortcoming of the book (and there are many).

For me the worst thing: the book's title talks about 15 trades, so your expectations are tuned to find some EXAMPLE trades, with detailed reasoning about when these trades were entered and exited, and more importantly WHY they where entered. None of this can be fond in the book. Sometimes the author (Archer) spends as few as 3 lines for a trade, e.g. on p. 126, Analysing the trade he writes:

"In this trade I was using a formation on an hourly chart and was looking for well over 100 pips of profit. I could afford giving up some of that profit, should I be correct, since it was larger than my usual trade objective. (See Figure 11.3)"

... that's ALL, that's Archer's "analysis" of a trade! Further down the entry/exit date and prices of the example AUDUSD pair are listed together with a figure that just doesn't tell you anything. BTW, the entry date and exit date are the same (Nov. 21,2007), however, there is no entry time nor an exit time given. The figure itself only shows the letter "A", supposedly the entry, but no exit. I could keep on going like that ... it's just a waste of time to read a book like that.

My advice, if you really want to stickyour nose into the book, try to read through Chapter 27. The "Goodman Swing Count System" is supposed to be heart of the book, the key to Archer's trading strategy. In case you will make it through the chapter, you will find that the so-called rules defined here are in most cases highly subjective. I have tried myself to find Archer's multi-level matrices and intersections on many FX charts, with the result that his technique is no better than a throw of dice.

Please save your money and skip this one
This book is a mishmash of :
1) A Beginner's guide. A bad one and nothing you cannot find online or in other better organized books.

2) Some trading rules. The 15 trades are actually supposed to illustrate some general trading rules. The trades are not annotated except for the entries and exit, with no reason for entry or exit. There is no way you can learn from the trade as there is no explanation whatsoever and it seems they were slapped on to illustrate the point (or rules). If you are looking for a trading system, forget it. Even with his one page supposed KISS trend-following system, the author managed to obscure it beyond implementation.

3) A dump of some online content. Which is available online already. The whole Shanghai BC chapter is available at the [...] website verbatim. So save your money and go to the site. The site itself is rather disorganized and not for the beginners.

4) A hyped up "secret" trading method. The author (Archer) constantly refers to his secret trading method passed down by his mentor Goodman and devotes chapter 27 to an exposition of this method. This chapter is at least clearer than the other book where he started selling this method (Getting Started in Forex Trading Strategies). It is supposed to be a superior system that is better than Elliot wave. However I can tell you that it is not possible to implement it successfully based on the material in this book. Since it is a wave system, it is high subjectively and EVERY zig zag will look like a potential entry. It is possible that the author is able to make money using this method, but it would be due to his experience or other unrevealed rules or may be he just was to sell you more stuff at his site. Personally, I'll pass on this secret method.

What I did take away from this book :
1) Chapter 6. Trader profile. The author (Archer) provided 4 trader profiles (Guerrilla, Scalper, Day Trader, Position Trader) and their respective chart time frame, targeted profit pip range etc. It is good to have this information for your own comparison and reference so you can find your own profile by trial and experimentation.

2) Chapter 8. Trading Heuristic. What the author (Archer) calls the Snow Flake Heuristic describes a Trading Plan that can be used as a reference. He describes what he does to get ready for trading, how he monitors the market and filter potential trades and finally enters into them. It's a good description of how a trader should approach trading by determining his own trading personality and focus on making only the high probability trades.

Conclusion:
For this price, if you can get a copy at your library, read the parts I recommended (they are very short) and save your money for other books.

GVI honest advice about currencies
As a veteran currency trader for institutional clients, interbank dealing and proprietary trading, I find that the Forex Essential in 15 trades is an honest attempt to show how one can approach currency trading. The title itself shows that there is no one `correct method' in successfully trading currencies. Each person has to find what type of trading behavior best suits him or her. The message of the book is that there is no one-way to approach the market.
The book is filled with basic information about the currency market but the real insight is seeing the personality inside most of the 15 trades exemplified in the book. I found that Trade #2 regarding stop-loss orders shows the complexity and frustration of individual trades is just plain honest and to the point. Chapter 8's title of the "King Kong Syndrome" can describe the atmosphere on any interbank desk or hedge fund when one feels like the can always beat the market only to be set up for a big loss. I wish the book explored in more details the personalities behind the trades.
What the book fails to do is really promote the authors website in its proper context. I have been a global-view.com contributor since the site was created in the mid-1990s.Chapter 23 with Forex lessons from Shanghai BC is the typical posting and insight that one can retrieve from the GVI community. The site has some of the sharpest trading minds in the business and again like the title suggests, there is no one `correct' approach towards the market. If buying the book brings one into GVI, then I believe it is the first step towards understanding oneself in trading/managing money.

2 Good Chaps
I liked Chap 4 - Fundamentals and Chap 25 Shanghai BC and for these alone it may be worth a read.The rest is so so.Its by no means a must have book for forex trading and really is a promotion for Global View - which is ok too.

Enriched my trading experience immensely
I don't usually take the time to write reviews... but felt it was a worthwhile endeavor this time.I bought a bunch of books on trading currencies to try and get more perspective on how others think about and approach the forex market. I never worked in finance, so i don't have a personal network of connections to collaborate and share ideas with. This Global-View.com guide, more than any of the other books I picked up, gave me what i was looking for. All the books lay out specific chart patterns, market fundamentals, and different trade setups, but what set this one apart for me was the community behind it.The book is a gateway to this global network of professionals and like-minded traders around the world. It's "crowdsourcing" and knowledge sharing at its finest, brought to bear on the addictively exciting and impossibly complex puzzle that is the fx market.The book and its authors introduced me to a live community that's been my broadening my market knowledge and enriching my trading experience more than any ordinary book on technical studies or fundamental analysis ever could. ...
