Bond and Money Markets: Strategy, Trading, Analysis

Bond and Money Markets: Strategy, Trading, Analysis PDF Download Ebook. Moorad Choudhry explains and analyses all aspects of the bond and money markets and is both an introduction for newcomers and an advanced text for experienced market practitioners and graduate students. Those with experience of the industry at all levels will find the book invaluable as a standard reference work.

Author has managed to combine the clarity of explanation vital to students of the subject with sufficient content and detail to ensure that even the experienced practitioner will find this book an invaluable asset. To have covered such a complex area so effectively within one reference book is a notable achievement, to have done so with such obvious enthusiasm only adds to the excellence of this work.

This book is aimed at a wide readership, from those with little or no previous understanding of or exposure to the bond markets to experienced practitioners. The subject matter is wide ranging and this makes the book useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students on finance or business courses. The second half of the book will be valuable for advanced level students and first-year researchers.

Undergraduate students are recommended to tackle the book after initially studying the principles of finance, however the basic concepts required (such as present and future value) are covered and serve to make a complete volume. While most of the mathematics assumes a knowledge of basic algebra, some of the contents, particularly in the chapters dealing with derivatives and fixed income analytics, will require slightly higher level mathematical ability.

It is not necessary to have degree-level or even A-level maths in order to understand the basic principles; however those with only elementary maths may find some of the chapters, particularly those on yield curve modelling, somewhat difficult. Complete beginners may wish to review first an elementary text on financial market mathematics. Nevertheless this book is intended to serve as a complete text, and takes readers from the first principles to advanced analysis. Note that by this we mean analysis of the bond and related derivatives markets; the budding rocket scientists among you may wish to consider books specifically concerned with say, option pricing, stochastic calculus or programme trading.

For students wishing to enter a career in the financial services industry this book has been written to provide sufficient knowledge and understanding to be useful in their first job and beyond, thus enabling anyone to hit the ground running. It is also hoped that the book remains useful as a reference handbook.

The book is primarily aimed at people who work in the markets, including front office, middle office and back office banking and fund management staff who are involved to some extent in fixed interest markets. This includes traders, salespersons, money markets dealers, fund managers, stockbrokers and research analysts. Others including corporate and local authority treasurers, risk management personnel and operations staff will also find the contents useful, as will professionals who work in structured finance and other market sectors, such as accountants, lawyers and corporate financiers.

Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader by Peter L. Brandt

Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader: Lessons from 21 Weeks of Real Trading PDF Download Ebook. Peter L. Brandt offers a real-time, play-by-play account of Brandt's trading activities—the good, the bad, and the ugly—during his 21-week journey, and provides valuable insights into market analysis, trade identification and selection, and risk management.

This text highlights the basic building blocks of the author's Factor Trading Plan and examines how his plan continues to evolve with the markets. It emphasizes the central role risk management plays in market speculation—an even more important role than market analysis or trade selection. Author reveals trading as a fundamental battle to overcome your basic human emotions.

Becoming a consistently successful trader is a tough job. It's a craft that requires extensive knowledge of the markets—involving a whole lot more than just finding the next great trading opportunity—and a process that addresses many aspects of both the market's, and your own, behavior.

Nobody understands this better than author and longtime trader Peter Brandt. During his thirty-plus years in this field, he has made every mistake possible and learned some major lessons along the way. He also developed a set of guidelines, rules, and practices—which he refers to as the Factor Trading Plan—that direct his trading decisions.

Author shares the experiences he has gained trading price charts over the years, and through a real-time journal—which spans an arbitrary time frame of 21 weeks (from December 2009 to April 2010)—skillfully shows how he goes about the difficult endeavor of trading the commodity and forex markets using classical charting principles.

Divided into four comprehensive parts, this personal and unique guide clearly reveals the uncertainty and emotions that surround trading and details an effective approach towards speculation that will give you an edge.
