Strategies for Trading Derivatives: A Practical Guide for InvestorsThis book is a practical guide to trading derivatives. It outlines the trading strategies developed by the author over the last seven years, detailing the research carried out, and the performance of the various systems against real price data. It is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to investing in derivatives, and therefore assumes that the reader will have a basic understanding of Futures, Traded Options, and Contracts for Difference. |
