Getting started in FX

Hey there,

I'm glad to hear about your interest in FX and rates. It's a fascinating field! Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some resources that could help you get started:

1. "Foreign Exchange" by Tim Weithers: This book comes highly recommended. It's been praised countless times and is considered the #1 FX book by many.

2. "Exotic Options Trading": This book was written by a Barcap derivatives trader and explains general options trading in very simple language. It then goes on to cover various 1st and 2nd generation derivatives, their characteristics, risk profiles, etc. It's also recommended for those starting in FX options.

3. "Interest Rate Swaps and Their Derivatives": This book is recommended by a swaps trader at a BB and assigned to the interns. It's a classic read on swaps.

4. "The Trader's Guide to Key Economic Indicators" by Yamarone: This is a great way to get a handle of the nuances of different data releases which move markets if you are working in macro.

Remember, it's okay to feel overwhelmed at first. Take it one step at a time, and you'll get there. Happy reading!
