Preface
You can’t afford to ignore forex anymore.
This is an urgent message I carry everywhere I go. It really doesn’t matter who we are
or what stage in life we’re at. You could be in school and you can’t seem to figure out
the rules of global finance. You could be holding down a job but you desire to make a
decent second income in your spare time.
You could already be involved in the financial markets as a retail trader or investor,
but with low yields and depressed growth all around the world, you are searching for an
asset class that offers unparalleled returns. You might even be a fund manager who
holds an international portfolio in different asset classes, such as equities, bonds, and commodities.
However, with central banks lowering rates and injecting record amounts of liquidity
into the financial system, you realize the importance of protecting your entire portfolio
against currency risks.
Finally, you might be someone running a multinational company. You could be based
in one country, but your offices span across many countries all around the world.
Expenses for salaries, infrastructure, machinery, and supplies are paid out in different
currencies every single month. As the business gets larger, you can’t turn a blind eye to
the currency fluctuations, which have a significant impact to the company’s bottom line
every month.
If you find yourself in any one of these categories, this book is for you. The sooner we
all understand the forex “game,” the better it is going to be for us. Forex is a game for
three reasons. First, playing it must be fun. Second, we play it with an intention to win.
Finally, it has rules. If you break the rules, the rules will break you.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
I had a painful start to forex trading because I broke a cardinal rule. Allow me to share
my story with you. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a smart guy. I don’t have a
finance degree or an economics degree.
I studied chemical engineering in school but graduated with third-class honors,
dashing my mother’s hopes of my becoming a top chief executive for a Fortune 500
company. After graduation, I proceeded to apply for a job at petroleum giant Shell, but I
haven’t heard from them yet.
Sometimes I console myself by thinking that my resume lost its way in the mail. I
didn’t have much materially then, but what I had was the burning desire to achieve
success in life. It was this desire to succeed that led me to my first experience with forex trading.
Six years ago, I was with a friend in a local coffee shop when he suddenly flipped
open his laptop to reveal a screen full of charts. Through the charts and jumping
numbers on the screen, I asked him, “What’s this?”
He coolly replied, “Forex trading.”
Thinking it was some hobby he recently picked up, I asked again, “Real cash?”
“Yes.” He nodded smugly. “Real cash.”
That began to draw me in, slowly but surely. Looking back, it wasn’t the fact that
forex was the biggest financial market in the world that drew me in. What drew me in
was the fact that all you needed was an Internet connection and a laptop to make money
from this market anywhere in the world.
Fascinated, I started to ask my trader friend some questions. When he shared with me
the story of how George Soros broke the Bank of England on September 16, 1992, and
made $1 billion in a day, I was hooked.
I’m the kind of guy who only needs one live example of someone who has done
something to convince me that I can do it too. Excited about this new discovery called
forex trading, I went off and started to do my own reading on free websites.
Soon I started my first account with USD3,000.
