The purpose of this ebook is to teach neophyte forex traders the potential risks and rewards offered by forex trading. Is an abbreviated version of the encyclopedia sized book that would be necessary to fully cover all of the intricacies of the foreign exchange market. This book was written in very basic form to cater to the maximum number of potential forex investors. Forex investing is very risky and investors can lose money. Therefore it is prudent to fully understand the markets before investing your hard earned money. There are many ways for potential investors to practice forex trading without actually opening an account. I believe that it is very sensible to use a practice account first just in case forex trading is not right for you. This book in no way should be considered a guarantee of profits in the forex markets. Forex trading is very risky. Only risk capital should be used for this type of speculative investment.
