Hi Vasi

Welcome to the community

I have read a couple, and 2 stood out as being very good.
If you are brand new to forex, "Profiting With Forex" by John Jaggerson is a great book, easy to read, well explained and goes over all the basics.
Amazon.com: Profiting With Forex: The Most Effective Tools and Techniques for Trading Currencies: John Jagerson, S. Wade Hansen: Books

If you have the basics down, then "Day Trading The Currency Market" by Kathy Lien is the way to go. This book covers everything. The small downside to this book is it reads a bit like a text book.
InformedTrades - Day Trading The Currency Market - Strategies to Profit from Market Swings, by Kathy Lien

If you only get one book, get the Kathy Lien book.

Cheers
Tek

I have just finished reading "HIgh probability trading" by Marcel Link, and I can highly recomend it although not specifically a forex trading book, but a overall trading book.

I dont have any of the technical books. I do have a good one by David Allen Javorsky " 28 rules every trader must know "

It primarily deals with the pyschological aspect of trading; it has some technical tidbits; it taught me the importence of a trading plan and being on the right side of the order flow for my time frame

I am typing this from work off the top of my head , so I might be off a word or two
