The Art of Profitable Currency Trading. A Guide for Beginners

Currency trading is an art. Just like in art, there is no one perfect approach here. Brent Donnelly invites you to delve into the theory, study existing techniques, and based on this, develop your own trading style.

This book will help you understand:
• how central bank statements should influence a trader's decisions;
• why you should close your positions over the weekend and know what time it is in London;
• what a “gravestone doji” and shooting stars are, as well as what hammers and catapults have to do with it;
• the connection between magazine covers and market behavior and much more.

Brent Donnelly has been a trader since 1995, quoted by The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and CNBC. He managed spot trading at Citi Bank New York and was the director of global development for the G10 FX currency trading division at Nomura New York. He covers macroeconomic and currency market issues in the daily AM/FX newspaper.

“This book is not from some amateur trader. It's a unique case where a representative of the industry—a top-class professional trader—shares his experience. Brent Donnelly has worked for a long time as a senior currency trader at the largest investment bank HSBC in their New York division. This fact alone serves as a kind of 'quality seal' and makes his book unique. I would give a lot for this book to have come my way earlier.” — Renat Valeev, CFA, trader with 15 years of experience,
