Book reference for Futures/Forex?

["Dave Robinson" <drobinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone recommend a good book that presents an overview of futures,
futures options,  and forex.  I don't really want to hear somebodys get rich
quick schemes, just solid advice on the mechanics of the different exchanges
and methods of entering/exiting positions.

My primary need right now is to hedge some $US positions into other
denominations; but later I would like to have the option to enter some
speculative trading positions.

I will trade futures through TradeStation.

Any suggestions of the best place to open up a forex account?
