 Very informative, very readable
By Paul Teetor
This book was incisively what I needed. I was intimate with forex futures, and I wanted to break into the cash forex market and perchance into currency options. This book gave me a clear comprehensible statement of the markets, including the conventions, the mechanics, the spot market, forex swaps, forex options, etc., and a lot of of the components which drive interchange rates (e.g., interest rates).
The book is very readable. Usually, this sort of thing puts me to sleep. But I knocked off a chapter per day, no problem. The author is a fellow member of the UBS training department, and he without doubt or question has experience explaining this topic to the uninitiated.
The math is rather light. Nothing more perplexed than algebra, which is necessary to explain a heap of pricing logic.
The book does not incorporate merchandising secrets. It is not a system for marketing forex. It does not explain How I Made $1,000,000 Trading Forex. It will not help you pick a broker. It is not an exposition on the stochastic theory of forex pricing. It is, however, a clear comprehensible statement of the FX markets. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful.
 Basic FX knowledge
By M. Ambastha
The book is good for someone with no exposure to FX markets and for those who want to get a handle on things like how rates are quoted, why digital choices make sense etc. The only gripe I have with regards to this book is that it is an introduction to the topic, and not an innovative exposition on FX models, etc. Otherwise it is well written. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
A must reading
By Shady Bahouth
Mr. Weithers had part in his book lot of valuable insights. As a professional dealer of the FX market for more than 15 years ago, as well as a Lecturing on this subject on various universities in Israel I genuinely commend Mr. Weithers' book as a will have to reading for both beginners and professional. Frankly, it worth reading time expended on it.
