The author also breaks down core FX principles such as trend structure, volatility cycles, multi-timeframe alignment, and market sentiment. He explains the behavior of currency pairs, how institutional flow shapes the market, why major economic events influence price, and how traders can time entries and exits with maximum precision.
Smith places strong emphasis on risk control and money management, presenting practical techniques for position sizing, capital protection, and trade survival—skills essential for traders who want to generate a consistent income.

It is very useful. All techniques are profitable and easy to apply into trading. I recommend that all traders should read through this book.
Ashton Dudley (verified owner) –
This book is a goldmine, even if there are typos, the information, the way of thinking and trading you learn from it is very valuable. I have however not tested the methods yet.
Dominik Prince (verified owner) –
This book is clear, easy to follow, but with all the sophistication you would expect in the subject. Courtney makes it seem easy to trade.
Landen Coleman (verified owner) –
It does have trading rules laid out precisely. He manages risk pretty well. One way he manages risk is to not day trade. I would want to take his course, in Forex, though, before I risked money on a system. Forex is high voltage. A book just isn’t enough. This is a decent book.

Book is full of valuable common sense information that is usable.
I would recommend to anyone who is looking to make extra income by trading currency

I have read this book and am very disappointed. The Book tiles says ” A guranteed Income for LIfe”. I trade forx and have read several books on this topic. I know there is no such thing like guarantee in investing. You can try your best and make the odds in your favor but no gurantees.
Author writes about several methods to trade FOREX. They work sometimes and they do not work other times, and when they do not work, they lose big money. It may wipe your entire account.

Of all the pundits and gurus available, this author has the best most practical approach to trading. The techniques are viable and the Channel Breakout strategy is fundamental to trading successfully. Courtney has taken Turtle Trading to a new refined level where the risks are manageable and has techniques to improve the performance of the basic system. This volume is devoted to Forex, though the techniques are applicable to stocks and futures as well as Forex, so when I studied his other works I was familiar with the approach. The techniques Courtney outlines are easy enough to understand with some study. Objective strategies are hard to come by, and this is the focus of his tome. Subjectivity is discouraged, and actual real-world “what do I actually see” is encouraged. Follow the rules as laid out and the results are predictable. He covers the four parts of trading: the Psychology of Trading, or the mindset one must know to survive in the trading environment; Risk Management, an important part of trading so one does not lose one’s shirt, still is profitable, and can manage the inevitable losses associated with trading; Fundamental basics for Forex; and mostly the Technical Analysis employed to successfully trade the Channel Breakout and the other trend-following techniques he has in the book, like Coflex, The Bishop, ADX, The Conqueror, and more. Plus, Courtney recommends trading only 15 minutes a day! The idea is that the big money is made on the big moves, and so focus on catching the big moves. Buy it, read it, and see that your own approach to trading is improved!

This book is amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone who is serious about increasing their wealth through forex trading. Just remember to execute flawlessly. You must do everything (exactly as Courtney instructs) that this book says. If you lose money by not following the system precisely, then you only have yourself to blame.

Met Courney Smith in person. He has no nonsense trading strategies. He’s a master trader. ForEx is just another tool in my trading plan. Thanks!
Bode Abbott (verified owner) –
Very helpful towards realizing my dreams.
Thank you Courtney.

I didn’t finish reading the book so it’s hard to judge 100 percent but I Really disliked the author’s style of writing. He states very early on that the explanations are for those with no familiarity to Forex and trading. Yet immediately he begins using forex jargon to which is often does not explain in detail or waits for many pages to do so. This leaves you with a feeling of wonder.
He may be a great trader but he certainly doesn’t do a good job teaching it in this book.
