Introduction:
This book is written for the purpose of providing a getting started guide in forex trading. It, however, is not only for the person new to forex, but for those who have tried to trade forex but received mixed results through trial and error.
It is also for those who have experience in trading other markets and seek to apply that experience to forex. They will be able to build upon their experience and gain new insights into how to approach forex. Those who have achieved a level of initial success but seek to optimize their performance will find training strategies and tactics particularly useful.
The underlying premise of this book is that traders are not born—they evolve. Our goal is to sharpen the insights and the skills of the reader by providing both fundamental and technical knowledge that are common to successful traders.
An underlying philosophy of this book is that successful forex trading requires a total approach that integrates fundamentals, technical analysis, and psychology.

- Part I focuses on the forces that move prices, also known as fundamentals.
