Currency markets are unique in the trading world, but once you master the rules of the game, you’re well on your way to reaping the benefits of this distinctive market.
Trading forex is completely different from trading other markets. With low entry costs, 24-hour accessibility, global players and high degrees of leverage, there are enormous opportunities but also very real potential hazards along the way if you don’t know what you’re doing. Leverage can work both ways—you control large positions, but small moves in your favor can mean big returns on your investment. For these reasons, we thought forex trading deserved its own volume, devoted entirely to SFO articles explaining the ins and outs of currency trading.
Forex traders don’t need to follow hundreds of stocks or commodities to get a flavor for the market—just the movements of eight major currencies: the U.S. dollar, Japanese yen, European Union euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and Swiss franc. Trading a country’s currency is like trading the outlook for the country, so it helps to have a bit of fundamental knowledge. But it’s also a highly technical form of trading. We’ll help you assess how to best synthesize your forex strategies to make the most of market movements.
Learn from the top forex trading experts in the world, including:- The key to trading currencies is figuring out what central banks will do before they actually make their moves.
— Kathy Lien, a master forex trader shares her top strategies on trend analysis, the most popular currency trading style
- Margin can be a highly useful tool for many traders, but it can be scary and risky if used improperly.
— Marilyn McDonald, author of the book Forex Simplified, writes on developing a simple yet effective forex trading plan
- The next phase for online platforms will be similar to what occurred in the interbank market. That will involve the transition from a single market maker system to a multi-counterparty system.
— Peter A. Rosenstreich, a Geneva-based currency expert, explores the path to online forex trading
- At their core, currencies can be viewed as ultra-short-term bonds, since each currency is attached to an interest rate set by that country’s central bank.
— Boris Schlossberg, one of the most frequently quoted currency analysts in the world, weighs in on investing in exotic currencies
- Unpredictable currency values create risk, but it should not be forgotten that they also create opportunity. For everyone who has been hurt by the falling dollar, there is a doppelganger somewhere in the world that has gained.
— David Silverman, reveals his black market Israeli money-changing path to trading currencies
- The good old days of traders inadvertently getting fat off of an uncommonly lucrative combination of steadily climbing exchange rates along with steadily climbing interest-rate differentials is almost certainly a thing of the past.
— James Chen, CMT, CMT, author of Essentials of Foreign Exchange Trading, shares how you can use the carry trade effectively in today’s volatile global economy
- I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for traders to find a market that fits their own personality if they hope to be successful.
— John F. Carter, author of Mastering the Trade, explains two of his favorite currency setups

Of all the market areas that have blossomed in the last 10 years, foreign exchange – or forex or currencies, as some prefer – has clearly been a leader. Many markets have expanded volume greatly during that time, thanks to electronic trading, but forex has boomed from a virtual unknown, at least for individual traders, into one of the most interesting and exciting markets for active traders these days.
Limited to bankers and big institutions on the interbank market for many years, forex has become an active, accessible, liquid market for individual traders with accounts as small as several hundred dollars. And the fate of the U.S. dollar and other major currencies is now widely reported by the financial media, not only for the opportunities in trading the relationships among currencies but also for their impact on commodities and other markets.
Along with the growth in interest in forex trading has come the need for information and education about this new market that essentially involves trading spreads 24 hours a day around the globe. Stocks, Futures and Options Magazine – or simply SFO – has published a number of articles about forex in the last few years, and this book is a collection of the best of them in one handy volume...

Formerly Editor-in-Chief of Futures Magazine, Darrell has been writing about financial markets for more than 35 years and has become an acknowledged authority on derivative markets, technical analysis and various trading techniques.
Raised on a farm near the tiny southeastern Nebraska town of Virginia, Jobman graduated from Wartburg College in Iowa in 1963. He began his journalistic career as a sportswriter for the Waterloo (Iowa) Courier for several years before going into the Army. He served with the 82nd Airborne Division and as an infantry platoon leader with the Manchus in the 25th Infantry Division, including nine months in Vietnam in 1967-68, earning the Silver Star and Bronze Star.
After military service, Jobman returned to the Courier, where he became farm editor in early 1969. He was introduced to futures markets when he wrote a column about how speculators were ruining farm prices and was “corrected” by Merrill Oster. That led to writing assignments for Oster and then a full-time position in 1972, where Jobman participated in the founding of Professional Farmers of America and associated newsletters.
When Oster purchased Commodities Magazine in 1976, Jobman was named editor and later became editor-in-chief of Futures Magazine when the name was changed in 1983 during one of the biggest growth periods for new markets and new trading instruments in futures history. He was an editor at Futures until 1993, when he left to become an independent writer/consultant.
Since 1993, he has written, collaborated, edited or otherwise participated in the publication of about a dozen books on trading, including The Handbook on Technical Analysis. He has also written or edited articles for several publications and brokerage firms as well as trading courses and educational materials for Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade. He also served as editorial director of CME Magazine. Darrell currently serves as Senior Analyst and Editor for www.TraderPlanet.com.
Jobman and his wife, Lynda, live in Wisconsin, and spend a lot of time visiting with a daughter and three grandchildren also in Wisconsin, and a son and granddaughter in Florida.
