Description of Leo Melamed on the Markets |
Three decades ago, the nascent futures industry received scant attention and even less respect, largely because its practitioners were viewed as reckless speculators who operated in a wild, esoteric world where luck reigned and sound trading techniques played almost no part.
Leo Melamed has radically changed that perception. Through innovative work as head of Chicago Mercantile Exchange and his subsequent stewardship of the International Monetary Market, Melamed created and shaped the futures industry through innovative thinking, hard work, and bold application of effective trading techniques, sparking a futures revolution that has taken on international dimensions.
Now the widely acknowledged 'father of the futures industry' guides you - as no one else can - through the exciting, controversial, risk-laden world of futures markets - their birth, turbulent growth, and seemingly limitless future.This book pinpoints the many lessons to be learned from the dizzying ups and downs of the industry - and how you might apply those lessons to your own trading to ensure long-term profitability. Melamed explodes many myths about futures markets, demonstrates how success in the industry is founded on rock-hard principles, and provides a wealth of advice based on his own quarter century of trading experience. He shows you why it is crucial to romance rather than fight against the market and why such flexibility will pay dividends more often over the long run.
Melamed on the Markets is essential reading for every current and prospective trader and investor in the futures industry and a fund of invaluable information for every forward-thinking financial professional.
