Trading futures can be very confusing for those just beginning their life as a trader. Too often novice traders focus all their attention on earning. How much am I going to earn? How many trades do I need to do to get me there? They take out spreadsheets, calculating the numbers. If I double down my earnings then in 6 months I can be making 5 times what I am making now. But here’s the problem: if you focus just on earning and not on learning, you won’t need to worry about doubling down your earnings…there won’t be any.
Before you can trade the Market, you have to be able to see the Market. Right away novice traders want to open a brokerage account, put their hard earned cashed into it, and then start trading live, as if they were seasoned veterans. Forget the simulator, go straight to the portfolio. Trading is not, repeat, not an ATM machine. You don’t just type in a couple of numbers and whammy…money pours out. You have to learn to trade. It takes time and patience, and most of all the ability to see the Market.
What does that mean, “see the Market?” When you begin trading futures, or stock or etf’s for that matter, the first thing you need to do is watch the Market you intend to trade. Just watch. Do not try and trade that Market. Do not bring up your desktop software and start buying and selling. You just want to watch. For days on end, all you will do is watch. You want to see how the Market trades in different conditions, how fast it trades, how many buyers and sellers are investing in the same Market you are. Just sit and watch. It may take some days but after a while you will start to appreciate the Market you want to trade.
For best results, watch the Market at the same time each day. That is because you will be trading with the same traders every day. You’ll come to recognize their trading patterns, what they want to accomplish, how long they remain in trades, etc. In short order, your ability to “predict” their behavior will improve, little by little. But most of all, your confidence in understanding that Market will improve, dramatically. You’ll know what the Market is going to do, why it is doing it, and just how you want to trade it.
Once you have developed confidence in what you see, the next thing you want to do is start trading with a simulator. No cash, not yet, just simulation. See if what you thought was true about the Market is really true when you start to execute your trades. Simulate trading for days and day, just like you did when you were just watching. But simulate for blood, not just as a game. Simulate your trades just as you would were you trading live with real cash. And when you can achieve at least 85% success each day for all your trades, over several days, you are ready to trade live.
By the time you are ready to trade live, your confidence in trading should be very high. You’ve spent your time learning, not earning. You’ve focused on understanding the tools of trading so that you can be successful. You did not rush into buying and selling, putting your portfolio at risk for no reason. Instead you chose the sane way of becoming a successful trader.

Cirque du Soleil – Quidam $4.99 When Cirque du Soleil first ventured beyond Canada’s borders, its powerful, singularly ambitious “reinvention of the circus” seemed quixotic.

The boardwalk fortuneteller, Zena, plays a key role as her glimpses into the future seem to predict the movement of cocoa prices. A partnership forms to cash in on Benny’s gift for numbers and Zena’s powers-in spite of her warnings that she is not clairvoyant and nothing should be read into her musings.Atlantic City mob boss Bobo Trucci, intrigued by the commodities game and the uncanny track record of the partnership, muscles in.

A Diversified Set Of Quantitative Active Investment Models – $64.45 This book describes a possible way how investors can build a set of investment models to earn excess returns in global financial markets. The book argues, that global interest rate and currency markets are less effective and therefore creating more possibilities for profitable active speculation than global stock markets, because they have a higher share of participants who do not have profit maximization as their main goal. Furthermore the book proposes a systematic way how a set of quantitative investment models that is able to earn excess returns in interest rate and currency markets using derivative instruments can be built. The models use technical analysis, econometric analysis and simple ranking as methods, various financial market and macroeconomic data as inputs and give trading signals to trade foreign exchange forward contracts of G10 currency pairs and futures of major advanced government bond and short-term interest rate marksts. |

An Introduction to High-Frequency Finance $118 Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal with low frequency, regularly spaced data. For a variety of reasons, high-frequency data are becoming a way for understanding market microstructure. This book discusses the best mathematical models and tools for dealing with such vast amounts of data.This book provides a framework for the analysis, modeling, and inference of high frequency financial time series. With particular emphasis on foreign exchange markets, as well as currency, interest rate, and bond futures markets, this unified view of high frequency time series methods investigates the price formation process and concludes by reviewing techniques for constructing systematic trading models for financial assets. |

An investigation of linear and non-linear forecasting models for financial data. $49.99 This thesis focuses on the statistical properties of linear and nonlinear forecasting models that can be applied to financial data. These properties were examined through analysis of approaches that bond investors use to form expectations of inflation measured on a daily basis using continuously compounded percent returns on the Lehman Treasury bond market index and on the Center of Research Bureau spot and futures commodity price index for the period from January 3, 1983 to June 30, 2008. The strength of the relationships was additionally investigated using constant maturity Treasury bonds of different maturities ranging from 3 months to 30 years.;The present thesis argues that bond holders watch closely spot commodities markets for early indications of price changes in the aggregate terms. The thesis also argues that the relationships have been stable even after considering the effect of external economic environment on bond market returns expressed as shocks volatility. Significant non-linear effects were linked to unusual daily market moves beyond 4 standard deviations rather than implicit non-linear nature of the relationships.;Partial evidence was found to support the argument that similar unidirectional relationships from spot commodities to bonds would hold for U.S. Treasury bonds across all maturities. Daily movements in the commodity spot market lead prices of 10- and 30-year government bonds. Treasury securities do not influence spot commodity markets. Traders of commodity futures use bond prices of the previous ten trading days in forming inflation expectations. These unidirectional relationships were found to be strong for government bonds across all maturities. Commodity futures contain less information about inflationary expectations than government bonds. |

Basic Instincts $14.95 Human instincts are surprisingly sophisticated and subtle, having adapted over generations of trading with each other. Understanding how these instincts work can not only change the way you think about your own affairs, it can alter how you think about a whole range of economic and business issues (from what constitutes a fair salary to the impact of globalisation).A new breed of economists – known as behavioural economists – has started to observe economic life more closely. This book reveals the fascinating results of their studies . Human instincts have long been ignored by traditional economics, but they are crucial factors in major economic decisions, and hence important for our futures. This engaging book is about those human instincts and how the study of them has begun to change fundamentally the science of economics and our own behaviour in today’s world |
