the Fix - A Forex Thriller: Memoir of Markets, Manipulation, and Most Dangerous Trade All

They called it the largest financial market on Earth. They didn't mention it was also a trap. When Dan Hayes stumbled across a forex trading post on Instagram, he thought he'd found a shortcut to financial freedom. What he actually found was a decade-long education in the gap between how the world works and how it tells you it works. The Fix is the true story of what happens when a smart person discovers that: the banks really did rig the market (documented, fined, prosecuted) - and that the rigging wasn't why he was losing money. That the mentor who changed everything was hiding a secret that would rewrite his entire understanding of the previous seven years. That the platform he staked his savings on and recommended to thousands of followers was run by someone who saw his audience, not his capital, as the asset. Set against the real-world earthquakes of the 2015 SNB flash crash, the London Cartel scandal, Trump's election night peso collapse, and the $8 billion FTX implosion, The Fix is part financial thriller, part addiction memoir, part love story - and entirely unputdownable. Four meanings. Seventeen chapters. One question that took ten years to answer: if the market is fixed, why are my losses still my fault? Perfect for readers of Flash Boys, Liar's Poker, and Bad Blood - and for anyone who has ever stared at a screen at 3 AM and wondered whether they were brave, or simply crazy. The market is open. It always is, the question is whether you are?
