Forex Trading Secrets expands upon the foundational concepts of currency trading and presents a more comprehensive framework for navigating the FOREX market through technical analysis, money management, trading psychology, and strategic execution. James Dicks combines practical trading instruction with broader market theory to help traders understand both the mechanics and behavioral dynamics of currency speculation.
The book begins with a detailed overview of the global FOREX market, including market structure, major currency pairs, leverage, order execution, broker selection, and trading infrastructure. From there, the author transitions into the operational side of trading, emphasizing the importance of discipline, preparation, account management, and realistic expectations before capital is exposed to market risk.
A major focus of the book is the integration of technical analysis with trader psychology and risk management. Readers are introduced to chart structures, candlestick analysis, Elliott Waves, harmonic patterns, support and resistance, moving averages, oscillators, and volatility indicators. Alongside technical frameworks, the book addresses emotional control, affirmations, confidence building, and behavioral mistakes that affect trading consistency.
The later sections explore portfolio diversification, FOREX derivatives, ETFs, CFDs, commodities exposure, and practical trading systems such as breakout strategies, channel trading, hedging, and moving-average crossover systems. The overall approach positions FOREX trading as a disciplined process requiring preparation, structure, and ongoing self-development rather than speculative impulse.

This is a great book. I am glad I didn’t pay attention to all the negative reviews on Mr. Dicks first book. Forex Made Easy was just that. The book gave me the info I needed and I was able to start trading. It was a logical progression to get Mr. Dicks’ newest book. I have searched all over the internet and haven’t found anything close to what I have found in this book. Well done, I love it. My favorite part is about the mindset of a trader, and building a plan, that was something I really needed to learn, and just that alone was worth every penny I paid for the book. I am so amazed that the first review of this book was ended with such mere unprofessionalism. This is obviously a competitor. To finish this post I would just say do what I did, contact Mr. Dicks directly, after I did I found out that he has a Forex managed account with an audited track record. He has my money now, and I couldn’t be happier. Hope this helps.

There is ZERO forex “secret” in this book, just the usual ramblings: what is a pip, the forex is the most liquid market, you need discipline, blah blah blah… Then at the end of the book, near the last chapter, the author shows you a couple of un-tested, un-proven “systems” that he supposedly uses. These so-called systems use subjective trendlines (will the real trendline stand up please?) and simplistic, non-backtested breakout “techniques”. The whole purpose of the book is to lure you to his website, end of story.

I picked up the Forex Trading Secrets book last week and have read through 90% of the book; concentrating on the sections of my Forex trading where I could use additional help.
There are not many Forex books available that focus on the psychological and disciplinary side of trading, as well as the fundamental and technical side of identifying trades through various charting techniques like this new book. The original book that was written prior to this one, “Forex made easy” was a great introductory book to the Forex market that taught me a lot when it came out. I think this one takes me to the next level in my trading.
I am going to use the books trading system and money management plan as a guide for future trades and impliment the new strategies I learned immediately.
It’s a great book and a small price for its value.

This book is outstanding…I have been trading for 4 short months after reading this book it gave me a better perspective of trading forex. Every trader is different so you will have to find what works for you; for me using real money to start off was key. There is a whole different psychology when using real cash. Broker selection is major this book helps to sort all of that out which I believe is part of the secret in itself. Buy the book start small and stick to it until you find your niche. Join a forex forum to sort things out with like minded individuals. It will help in a major way…Im now loving my forex business🤗. Thanks James.
