Doesn’t look like it from the cover. But from this video, it looks like a book I need to pick up.
Tim Harford, author of Adapt: Why Success Always Start with Failure, gathers insights on failure from thinkers like J.K. Rowling, Muhammad Yunus, Samuel Beckett, and more. Also see famous creators on the fear of failure and Steve Jobs’ succinct wisdom on the subject.
I purchased a copy of this book directly from the author at last year’s Traders Expo in New York City. This book is truly excellent. It is a great read and explanation of the fundamentals that drive the global markets and how to apply that fundamental analysis to specifically trade the foreign exchange markets.
I have to be honest. It took me over a year to finish this book. It is so well-written that I found myself re-reading entire chapters and then applying to directly to the current market conditions. I was studying this book for real comprehension because I wanted to see if I could add another tool into my trading toolbox (as my mentor likes to say). What I got instead was a much richer understanding of the commodities markets, their role in the global markets and their affect on foreign exchange.
The book covers much more than that but my study of commodities had the most impact on me. As I reminisce now, this book helped give me the confidence to add another currency pair to my portfolio. For that, I thank you Ashraf. Great book.
I admit I dragged my feet in picking this book up. Ilian became a trading mentor to me when he first shared his Quarters Theory (QT) with listeners of his 4X Talk Live radio show in 2005. I studied the QT furiously, filling notebooks with notes and sending my analysis to Ilian for critique and feedback. I have been trading the QT for 4 years after all so I thought I knew it all already.
I was pleasantly surprised by the book. Not only as a thorough review of the QT but also as a very comprehensive reference book of every economic release and technical indicator. Definitely a fantastic addition to my personal library.
