to tap forex markets and trends. If you own only one book on currency markets, this will be it.
• For traders, it focuses on reducing the high risk, complexity, and time demands normally associated with forex trading.
• For long term investors, it concentrates on how to diversify portfolios into the strongest currencies for lower risk and higher capital gains and income.
Everyone must hedge currency risk. As the most widely held currencies are being devalued, they’re taking your portfolio down with them - unless you’re prepared.
Unfortunately, the usual forex materials don’t provide practical answers for most retail traders or longer term investors. Virtually all forex trading materials focus on time-consuming, high-leverage, high-risk methods at which most traders fail. Materials about long-term investing in foreign assets rarely take into account the prospects of the related currency. A falling currency can turn an otherwise good investment into a bad one.
Written by Cliff Wachtel, a 30+ year financial market veteran and widely followed writer on such sites as seekingalpha.com and forexfactory.com. He has served as trader, advisor, and trainer. He is a former Chief Analyst at avafx.com, current Chief Market Analyst at anyoption.com, and Director of Market Research, New Media, and Training for Caesartrade.com. He is also publisher of thesensibleguidetoforex.com, a new site dedicated to lower risk, higher yield trading and investing for greater currency diversification and portfolio returns.

• For traders, this book provides safer, smarter, less complex and time-consuming ways to trade forex with higher odds of success. These include the use of such increasingly popular new instruments like forex binary options and social trading accounts that mimic expert traders.
• For investors, this book shows how to identify the currencies most likely to hold or increase their value, and provides a wealth of ideas about how to apply that knowledge to a long-term, low-maintenance portfolio for both income and capital appreciation.
• For anyone seeking an asset class with low correlation to other markets: The very nature of forex markets means that regardless of market conditions there’s always a playable trend somewhere, regardless of what other asset markets are doing. You’ll learn how to find and exploit it for a short-term trade or a long-term investment in a currency pair, stock, bond, or other asset denominated in the currency of your choice, allowing you to build a portfolio in which you benefit from both asset and currency appreciation and diversification.
Throughout, the emphasis is on planning and executing only low risk, high potential yield trades or investments and avoiding serious losses at all costs. Packed with richly illustrated examples every step of the way and additional appendices and references to online resources, this book is the ultimate guide to forex for retail traders and investors seeking to tap forex markets for better currency diversification and income.
