Forex Conquered: High Probability Systems and Strategies for Active Traders
$13.75
Forex Conquered by John L. Person presents a structured technical trading framework specifically designed for active forex traders seeking high-probability market setups, disciplined execution, and systematic risk management. The book combines multiple forms of technical analysis into a unified trading methodology focused on identifying recurring market behavior and exploiting directional price movement in the currency markets.
The author explains how to integrate pivot point analysis, candlestick charting, moving averages, oscillators, Fibonacci analysis, Elliott Wave Theory, and momentum indicators into a complete forex trading process. Rather than relying on isolated indicators, the book demonstrates how multiple technical tools can work together to confirm market conditions, improve timing, and reduce execution errors.
A major emphasis throughout the book is the development of a rule-based trading plan. Readers are guided through practical concepts including trend analysis, support and resistance calculation, stop placement, scaling out of trades, trading psychology, and emotional discipline. The author also discusses the structure of the forex market itself, leverage mechanics, order execution, and the operational realities of active currency trading.
The material is intended for traders who want to move beyond basic forex concepts and build a structured approach to active trading. By combining technical analysis with practical trade management principles, the book provides a comprehensive framework applicable to day trading, swing trading, and position trading in the global currency markets.

Person certainly opened my eyes to pivot point trading in this book. Combining sound strategies and trading psychology is a great combination as both are monumentally important. Thanks directly to this book, I am able to consistently make money from trading forex, which I have been trading for about 2 years now. Cant recommend it enough!

John explained the trading systems that would probably work. Some history of performance is shown in the book. Anyway, the system should be tested in the choppy market condition first before it applied in your live account. I’m afraid that it’s only working well in a trending condition.

Summary from my full length review – A book on “high probability systems” for use with forex markets. The components for the systems are discussed in general with no specifics. I am disappointed by the fact that the trading systems are not disclosed. This book is not quite what I expected from a well respected trader.

Excellent book. Reveals 3 BACKTESTED (repeat BACKTESTED !) profitable forex trading systems, one of them averages 130 pips a month. Now, how many authors take the time to actually show you the results of their systems ? Take a wild guess: almost none of them! Want to know why? Because their “systems” are either worthless (and they know it)or they just break even . So take note all the forex authors out there, show us the backtest results of your forex system or shut the hell up!!!

Bought it…read it…enjoyed it. I have read numerous books in the last 3 years on topics such as stocks, options, trading systems and most recently currency trading, which is my prime area of interest. Many were written by authors who talk the talk. John Person talks the talk AND walks the walk. Translated: he writes about systems, triggers, indicators and trading philosophies that HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL for him, and he has the experience to back it up. Will they be successful for the reader? That depends on many variables, not the least of which is how well one learns and implements the material. You know what they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. While the author could have used a good proof reader and larger more visible charts, the material is relevant, insightful and interesting. And heck, you even get few lessons on it to make things a little clearer. There are many ways to trade the markets. This book provides insight as to how one SUCCESSFUL trader has done it. You can criticize many things in life but one thing has always been true: you can’t knock success. Thanks John, for sharing with us the weapons you carry into battle with the forex market. I, for one, am better armed because of it.

This is definitely not a beginner’s book and I suspect that some of the reviews found here giving this less than 4 stars are beginner or very ignorant traders that expect to be spoon fed.
Is this book perfect? No, that is why I did not give it 5 stars. But it does come close. The only perfection I have seen is Steve Nison.
This book is basically about candlesticks, pivot points and some basic indicators like MACD, Stochastics, Fibbonacci. He also discusses risk management and psychology.
If you are looking for a ‘system’…you will and you won’t find it here. He gives you some basic systems to start with. Really…you have to learn, understand and create your own system and style of trading Forex and build on the knowledge given in this book. No book can give it to you. It comes from knowledge of yourself and experience with Forex.
I found his information on Pivot Points to be excellent and it definitely expanded upon my already strong understanding. I trade pivots, candle signals and at times use things like Bollinger Bands for confirmation. That is it. I stopped complicating Forex, made it simple and the money rolls in. Trending pairs, consolidated pairs, ranging pairs…doesn’t matter. Once you understand price action…the world of Forex is yours.
One of the reviewers beneath me claims the techniques Person teaches do not work unless there is a trend. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WRONG!!!!!
I use these techniques in trends, ranges, for momentum and breakouts. It applies if you know how to trade those conditions. If you know what is and is not possible in those conditions!
If a market is only moving in a 20 pip range….DON’T TRADE IT. DUH! Nothing but scalping will work there. If the market is in a 30 to 40 pip range…I am making the money! Also, (common sense alert) what is possible depends on your broker, the spread, etc. My broker is an ECN so I have no slippage or spreads to deal with. I pay a $10 commission on each standard lot I trade. So, if I grab 20 pips ($200) and I pay a $10 comm. I made $190. With an ECN, I can trade anything.
Do not expect this book to be more than it offers. Any idiot can read the table of contents and clearly see what this book will cover and will not cover.
If you are new to Forex…get a strong foundation down first before you try this book. If you are already successfully trading and want to learn more…this book is for you. If you know pivots inside and out…you probably will not learn anything.
If you are not successfully trading Forex, have an intermediate to strong understanding of trading but do not use or know anything about Pivot Points….this is the book for you!
Before buying any book, before you even try trading…you had better have a strong understanding of Japanese Candles. They work in every market and on all time frames. I would not trust any material unless it is Steve Nison’s. So start with his books and build from there.
Steve Nison’s ‘Profiting in Forex’ DVD set (about $600) is THE gold standard when it comes to learning how to use candles with Forex in my opinion. That DVD course BLEW ME AWAY! And I knew my stuff too but I still learned new things! If you want to get good at Forex…combine that course with this book. If you are new…start with the basics first.
This book definitely provides a lot more than most may notice. The question is…are you capable of seeing what the other complainers missed?

…but I won’t recommend it if you are serious about understanding how the market works. I’d look for other books out there

I’ve known John Person for several years now and I can tell you that he is a true trader who makes his living in the markets. There are two types of authors who write trading books – those that write about trading but don’t actually trade everyday and those who trade every day and know what they are talking about and write books simply because they love talking about trading and enjoy helping other traders find success. John is definitely a true trader first – something you can tell immediately in the first few pages.
Forex Conquered offers specific trading strategies that you can use immediately which is what sets this book apart from all the others. If you’ve been disappointed by other books that talk in generalities, buy this one. John gives step-by-step instructions so that you can learn how to trade yourself instead of relying on others for “tips” or strategies you don’t understand. I highly recommend it.
