Good Forex Blogs Resources

With so much information on the internet these days, you don't have to pay thousands of dollars to learn about FX Trading. You will be surprised how much you can learn just reading other traders' blog. I came across a good forex blogs website a few days ago. It contains several links to Forex Blogs.

Take a look when you have the time :)

Up Close & Personal With Chris Lori!

Hi all,

I joined this trading group on meetup.com since last year. And a few days ago, I received an email saying that Chris Lori is coming down to Singapore! It's probably once-in-lifetime opportunity to listen to a professional FX trader. You should come down if you can.

P.S. Join early to avoid disappointment!

Chris offers private consulting services to individuals and institutions looking to diversify their portfolio relating to foreign exchange holdings and risk. He also manages a currency fund for clients booked in London and Singapore.

Chris Lori is also a popular speaker on the foreign exchange environment and has shared his insights and techniques with traders and fund managers worldwide.

In 1988, Chris completed the Canadian Securities Course and has had a passion for trading in the financial markets ever since. Although Chris maintains his priority as a CTA and fund manager, he is the only active fund manager who also educates in the foreign exchange sector, which sets his expertise apart from any other. His experience as a foreign exchange fund manager has inspired him to author educational materials for forex traders, such as; Pro Trader Complete Course, Understanding Global Fundamentals for Foreign Exchange Traders, Strategies for Optimal Entry and Position Management, Scalping in the Forex Market, and Powerful Reversal Formations.

As a champion athlete and successful trader, it is clear that Chris harbors the psychological prowess that he acquired as a tenacious winner in Olympic sport that is essential for success in trading.

Chris continues to strive for excellence in his trading, fund management and mentoring career. He is a dynamic leader who fosters the importance of integrity, discipline and truth in trading and in life.

How pro traders think and trade! (SMB Capital)

As a follow up from my recommendation of "One Good Trade", I bring you "Live From The Trading Floor" from SMB Capital. You get a preview into how proprietary traders think and trade stocks. I don't think you'll get such a deep insight anywhere else.

Enjoy!

One Good Trade (Highly Recommended)

I highly recommend "One Good Trade".

I am halfway through the book at the moment. The book brings you into SMB Capital - Proprietary Trading Firm in New York. The author, Mike, begins by sharing with you the personalities of the top traders in the firm. You have all kinds of different personalities who make it as a professional trader. And you will be extremely surprised by the diversity.

The next part of the book shares with you the "secrets" of trading. Essentially, Mike shares with you how the top traders train and sharpen their trading skills each day. He shares that it's all hard work and resilience. And often, top traders are compared to top athletes in the world.

Also, Mike makes the book even more interesting by bringing in real trades that some of the traders made on the trading floor. I promise you that you will get hooked onto it once you start.

But don't expect the book to teach you actual trading techniques and skills. No, there will be none of that in the book.

Three words to describe the book: Enriching, Inspiring and Awesome.
