My autographed copy of Naked Forex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a book that I have been wanting to read for awhile, but it always seemed to get pushed down my reading list.<\/p>\n

Well, it got pushed all the way back up to the top when I received a box from none other than Walter Peters.<\/p>\n

If you have never heard of him, I interviewed him on the Podcast<\/a> in\u00a0Episode #7<\/a> and he is currently the most watched interview on the Trading Heroes YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To see more books I recommend, check out the Library and Book Club<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Most Important Section Of This Book<\/h2>\n

Let's start at the top.\u00a0 Walter is a psychologist by training and it really shines through in this book.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, psychology is not sexy to most aspiring traders, so it is usually placed at the end of trading books.\u00a0 It is no different in this book.<\/p>\n

This being the case, I would actually recommend that you skip to the end of this book and read the psychology section first.\u00a0 It really is that good.<\/p>\n

In particular, I liked what they write about the “circle of doom.”\u00a0 I see so many traders get trapped in it and I have been in it myself.<\/p>\n

There are also other topics such as: runners\/gunners, gaining confidence and becoming an expert, which I found very useful.<\/p>\n

The Rest Of The Book<\/h2>\n

But the rest of this book is not chopped liver either. I would recommend reading the entire book from cover-to-cover.<\/strong>\u00a0 Besides the section on psychology, there were two other sections that I found particularly informative.<\/p>\n

First, the trading strategies are explained very well.<\/strong> They are simple and make sense.\u00a0 However, what I liked the most is that\u00a0the book<\/a> takes the time to explain the reason behind why they work.<\/p>\n

Most books just say: look for this setup…then do this.\u00a0 But I liked the fact that this book explains what you should be looking for before the setups that might invalidate them.<\/p>\n

However, the book doesn't stop there. It goes one step further and encourages you to test the strategies using tools like Naked-Markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The trouble that I have with many trading courses is that they expect you to take them at their word that their strategy works.<\/p>\n

You just have to start trading it and you will be golden.<\/p>\n

But I have learned from experience that if you do not understand the system well and understand the drawdowns, you will not have the confidence to stick with it.<\/p>\n

This is what causes people to jump from system to system until they finally think that this Forex trading thing doesn't work.<\/p>\n

Backtesting can help you really understand how a trading method works.<\/p>\n

Second, I really liked the way that Alex and Water lay out a road map for deciding when you are ready to move on to the next step.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, how do you know when you are ready to open a live account?\u00a0 How do you know if you should keep demo trading?<\/p>\n

They provide very specific parameters that will let you know when you are ready for the next level.<\/p>\n

Of course these are just guidelines, but they make a lot of sense and give you something to shoot for.<\/p>\n

What Is Naked Trading Is Appealing And Why Do It?<\/h2>\n

Naked trading is basically their flavor of price action trading.\u00a0 It is when you use price action alone to determine when to enter and exit trades.\u00a0 No indicators and no complicated chart setup.<\/p>\n

If you have ever been confused by indicators or complicated trading systems that require several different criteria to be met before you can take a trade, then Naked Trading can be a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

I am currently testing some of the strategies myself.<\/p>\n

Their strategies include: The Big Shadow, Wammies \/Moolahs and more. I especially like the Trendy Kangaroo.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

So if this appeals to you, then check out Naked Forex: High-Probability Techniques for Trading Without Indicators<\/a>, by Alex Nekritin and Walter Peters.<\/p>\n

If you prefer using indicators, then this book may not be for you. But if you are looking to simplify your trading and get rid of all of the clutter on your charts, this is a book that I recommend.<\/p>\n

And I would say that, even if I purchased this book at full price.<\/p>\n
