First published in 1986, this book discusses many important aspects of the theory and practice of Futures Markets. It describes how they, at the time, grew to be an increasingly important feature of the world's major financial centres. Indeed, they adopted the role of being efficient forward pricing mechanisms and this was reflected by the interest of economists in the study of risk, uncertainty and information. Here, the contributors focus on areas that were of concern in the late 1980s such as feasibility, forward pricing and returns, and the modelling of price determination in Futures Markets. Evidence is drawn from twenty-five different commodities representing all the major commodity groups; and from all the world's major centres of Futures Trading.

First published in 1972, this book provides an important critical review on the theory of futures trading. B. A. Goss looks at the work and ideas of Keynes and Hicks on futures, and considers how these have also been developed by Kaldor. He discusses the evolution of the concept of hedging in the context of buying forward into the markets, and considers theories of market and individual equilibrium. Goss draws on the work of other economists in this field, including Stein, Telser, Peston and L. L. Johnson, in order to illustrate the development of theory in futures trading. The book includes fifteen figures that illustrate diagrammatically the concepts involved, and the concluding section contains a series of problems for examination by the student.

The first new book in a generation to focus on the practical applications of trading with oscillators Oscillators are an essential group of indicators that futures, options, and stock traders have embraced to reveal turning points in flat markets. In this pioneering book, Mark Etzkorn, Associate Editor of Futures magazine, comprehensively discusses the purposes and uses of such important oscillators as stochastic, momentum, Elder-Ray, Williams %R, among many others, then focuses on Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of today's most popular oscillators. Etzkorn reveals how RSI measures the internal strength of a security, how to calculate it, and how to use it to make better decisions about accepting or rejecting particular market signals. Moreover, he demonstrates how investors can adapt, modify, and apply RSI across different market conditions and time periods, and combine it with other indicators, including Contrary Application and Tom De Mark's concept of duration. MARK ETZKORN (Chicago, Illinois) is Senior Editor of Futures magazine, where he focuses on technical analysis and trading software. He has worked in the futures and options industry as a trader and broker at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and The Board of Trade Clearing Corporation.

What is finance? What questions does it principally concern itself with answering? What are the underpinnings of the means by which it attempts to answer those questions? And what conclusions does it reach? Written with the thoughtful reader in mind, and in a manner not requiring any prior familiarity with finance or economics, this book addresses these important fundamental questions. While not written as a how-to guide to investing, in general or in specific asset classes or marketplaces, the thoughtful reader will come away with a widely applicable conceptual framework as to how to think about doing so in virtually any investment application. Its contents are those which underpin all such markets and, overtly or not, the actions of market participants across time. It is the foundation upon which our vast financial edifice is built. And, for these reasons, the book's two authors have found it to be a fascinating and worthwhile object of thought and attention for the past eighty combined years. The book is divided into two parts. The first, entitled "Foundations," spans the initial ten chapters and concerns itself with the theory that underpins virtually all financial markets, including: Default-Free and Risk-Free Assets; Mean-Variance Theory; the Capital Asset Pricing Model and its applications; Arbitrage Pricing Theory; the Finite State Approach to Modern Finance; and Valuation. The second part, entitled "Markets," explores these financial markets in detail by way of chapters individually dedicated to each, including: stock markets; bond markets; money markets; asset backed securities; futures and forward contracts; currency markets; options; swaps; and hedge and private equity funds. The book concludes with the exploration of select paradoxes in modern finance, with explanations proffered for their existence and perpetuation.

A one-of-a-kind reference guide covering the behavioral and statistical explanations for market momentum and the implementation of momentum trading strategies Market Momentum: Theory and Practice is a thorough, how-to reference guide for a full range of financial professionals and students. It examines the behavioral and statistical causes of market momentum while also exploring the practical side of implementing related strategies. The phenomenon of momentum in finance occurs when past high returns are followed by subsequent high returns, and past low returns are followed by subsequent low returns. Market Momentum provides a detailed introduction to the financial topic, while examining existing literature. Recent academic and practitioner research is included, offering a more up-to-date perspective. What type of book is Market Momentum and how does it serve a range of readers’ interests and needs? A holistic market momentum guide for industry professionals, asset managers, risk managers, firm managers, plus hedge fund and commodity trading advisors Advanced text to help graduate students in finance, economics, and mathematics further develop their funds management skills Useful resource for financial practitioners who want to implement momentum trading strategies Reference book providing behavioral and statistical explanations for market momentum Due to claims that the phenomenon of momentum goes against the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, behavioral economists have studied the topic in-depth. However, many books published on the subject are written to provide advice on how to make money. In contrast, Market Momentum offers a comprehensive approach to the topic, which makes it a valuable resource for both investment professionals and higher-level finance students. The contributors address momentum theory and practice, while also offering trading strategies that practitioners can study.
