Financial-future

The book is a collection of disjointed but interesting essays on the general topic of equity derivatives. There is a heavy US bias in the material and none of the topics are covered in much depth. Nor does there seem to have been much in the way of editorial control over the way that essays are linked to form a theme (the treatment of covered warrants is a clear case here).

One to get if the company are paying since, in a book this big on a sparsely covered topic, there is some interesting stuff here.

This is an excellent Anthology of an often maligned and misunderstood subject. The forward is written by Fischer Black who is a pioneer in the derivatives industry. These are clearly written essays on the multiple and intelligent methods of using derivatives in varying investment environments. This is a book about financial choices and the opportunities that abound for end users of these products to hedge, diversify, insure against disaster and customize investment positions. This book should be on the desk of every Treasurer or Money Manager who is entrusted with fiduciary responsibilities.

The book's indicators are not for the mathmatically challenged, written for Tradestation. That is the majority of the book - BUT, the systems used to win the trading championship were very simple and basic. Not these complex formulas. Looking at the equity curve and his spotlighted trades, it looks like he got lucky, catching the right 2 markets and 3 - 5 trades that made the contest for him.

The sections on setting up your screens and computer are obviously very out of date. Nothing special here, you're not missing anything.

it's not great either. I thought it was better than the other "1 star" reviewers. I believe I enjoyed it better because I had no expectation for this book to really teach me anything spectacular.

His work is not too complex, it's just that he presents so many indicators, and then combines them. I thought his use of Kurtosis was interesting and some of his ideas are worth further research if it complements your current work. If you've already devoured your favorite books and are looking to increase your stock in short-term trading ideas, it would be worth a read.

I have to agree with the other reviewer who said that his success in theRobbins Championship came from just a few profitably outlying trades.

Wait to buy it used for ... less.

Jensen has described mathematical methods for measuring, and then for predicting, changes in price momentum. This book is not light reading, but the effort invested leads to a method for computer-generated signals which predict when a price series will reverse. This concept can be a powerful tool, with signals which are leading or coincident to turns. Although Jensen deals with other aspects of trading, this is in no way a book for beginners. For the serious student of the market, it is more than worth the trouble.

Refresh, Reset or Re-construction your minds will be the major way to survive your new life in the next decade.
Hope every people in Hong Kong can stay alive with their competitive and elite minds.
