Description of A Complete Guide to the Futures Markets |
This book attempts to answer the two most important and practical questions facing any trader or potential trader in commodity futures markets: How do I forecast prices? and How do I apply this knowledge to a workable trading strategy?
Written in a clear, non-technical language, and supported by a wealth of market examples and illustrative charts and tables, this guide represents a goldmine of information on all aspects of commodity markets. Here in one source is:
- The most complete, in-depth treatment of fundamental analysis found in any book
- An entire section on regression analysis - presented in easy-to-understand, non-mathematical terms
- The pros and cons of chart analysis
- Specific guidelines for improving trend-following systems
- A comprehensive discussion of spreads, including separate chapters on interest rates, currency, and stock spreads
- A critical evaluation of a broad range of option-based trading strategies
You'll also find specific trading rules, market do's and don'ts, and advice on money management and risk control, all developed and honed over the years by Schwager.
