    Description of Portfolio Management Formulas

    A guide to money management strategies for traders in the futures, options, and stock markets, this book shows how to profitably exploit the rules of probability and the principles of modern portfolio theory.

    Reviews

    'I wish I'd had a copy of this book many years ago. It would have rounded out my education and given me a thorough orientation in the risk management aspect of the trading equation, which, despite its overwhelming importance, is often overlooked even by those who consider themselves competent traders. We would all do much better in the real-world marketplace by following the recommendations in this book.'
    Timothy Slater, Founder CompuTrac

    'Few traders really understand how probability and gambling strategy affect their trading profits. Ralph Vince has done a marvellous job of explaining these factors in a clear, easy-to-understand way. More important, he shows traders exactly how to take advantage of these principles whenever they trade. This book belongs on the shelf of every informed investor.'
    Tom Denmark, Tudor Investment Systems
