Hello, what books about Forex's foundations can you recommend?No authors sells, please.I just want recommendations from real economists or people who really live from trading or investment in financial instruments.I am looking for complex books, which falls in depth.I already have a classical economy base, I know Friedman, Hayek, Keynes, Smith, etc., but now I want material that goes more direct to the economy applied to currencies.Thank you.
I would recommend "Alchemy of Finance" by George Soros.It has a very different vision from traditional economic theory within financial markets.All calm.
All Nassim Taleb's books.Win is fine ...
"Alchemy of Finance," as they said."Currency Training for Dummies" by Brian Dolan "Intemarket Analysis" by John Murphy "Currency Trading and Intemarket Analysis" by Ashraf Laidi If you can read this, you probably know too much ...
"Getting started in fundamental analysis" de Michael C. Thomsett "Schwager on Futures: Fundamental Analysis" de Jack D. Schwager
If you really want to get into the issues of fundamentals applied to the Forex, I recommend �Globalization Capital� by Barry Eichernen.It is not specifically trading, but if you do not understand modern monetary history and how exchange rate regimes evolved, you are missing half of the context.This book explains why central banks do what they do, something crucial if you want to operate with head.And since you mention the classics, take an eye to "The Dollar Crisis" by Richard Duncan.It is dense and has its time, but it will change the way you see monetary and fiscal policy, especially in relation to the dollar as a world reserve.It is not a book "of Traders", but it is what those who really take this seriously read.
Look, if you are looking for books of people who really live from the market and not to sell courses, read "Inside The House of Money" by Steven Drobny.It is not a technical book, but interviews with Macro Traders really that move thousands of millions.There is no better way to understand how those who move the market think.There you will not find cheap clich�s or motivational phrases.I also recommend �The New Market Wizards� by Jack Schwager.It has much more landed interviews, and yes, there are foundations there if you know how to read between the lines.Understanding how different styles apply fundamental analysis will give you a lot of perspective.But if you only want magical formulas, it is better with the Books dummies.
If you have real interest in modern monetary foundations, you cannot stop reading "Lords of Finance" by Liaquat Ahamed.He explains how the policy of the great central banks in the first half of the twentieth century led to global financial chaos.It is not a trading guide, but if you do not understand those historical dynamics, you are betting blindly in the currency market.Another forgotten jewel is "Currency Wars" by James Rickards.Something conspiracy at times, but useful to understand how geopolitical decisions affect coins.In the end, the Forex does not move only by lines of trend or Japanese candles.There are much bigger forces at stake.
You have to read "Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises" by Ray Dalio.It is not specifically Forex, but if you do not understand how debt crises are generated and resolved, you cannot operate currencies with criteria.In addition, Dalio is not anyone: he manages one of the largest funds in the world, it is not a YouTuber with colorful graphics.I would also tell you to check "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis.Yes, it is more narrative than technical, but it shows how the foundations can anticipate huge movements.In Forex, you many times earn more knowing what to avoid looking for the perfect trade.
I will go to the grain: if you really want depth in fundamentals applied to coins, you have to read reports of the IMF, bis and serious academic papers.No commercial book will give you the level of analysis that these sources have.It is going to hurt your head at the beginning, but then the monetary policy reports of the ECB or the Fed will seem like bread.And if you want books that use a more accessible language but are not garbage for beginners, I recommend �The Ascent of Money� by Niall Ferguson.It has a historical approach but it is very useful to understand how the global financial system was formed.Without that context, your analysis will be pure smoke.
