From a world renowned authority on futures trading, a guide to the essentials and opportunities of trading the international futures market In these days of global economic upheaval, traders are constantly searching for ways to hedge risk and generate profits from volatile price swings. Savvy insiders have found the answer: futures markets in Europe and Asia. Free of often stifling U.S. regulations, the international futures markets are attracting the attention of top institutional traders as well as the general trading public. Prominent futures trader, Jake Bernstein, skillfully guides serious traders through the maze of trading these burgeoning markets. Beginning with a brief unorthodox history of futures trading, Bernstein reveals why the most mercenary traders thrive and how the European futures markets evolved to their current dynamism. He then focuses on what is traded, where and how, highlighting up and coming markets. Backed by detailed charts and graphs, he takes traders through the fundamentals of traditional technical analysis, then on to a variety of trading systems, all designed to capture the essence of growing market volatility. He explores questions commonly echoed by traders, including: How can U.S. traders effectively deal with time differences? How do currency rate changes impact trading? Is it realistic for U.S. traders to day-trade the international market? What are the benefits? TRADING THE INTERNATIONAL FUTURES MARKET gives speculators, traders, and investors powerful tools to help them reclaim the all-important and coveted trading edge.

This book considers how the inclusion of electronic call auction trading would affect the performance of our U.S. equity markets. The papers it contains focus on the call auction and its role in a hybrid market structure. The purpose is to increase understanding of this trading environment, and to consider the design of a more efficient stock market. A call auction is a form of trading that died out in the pre-computer age but is making its reentrance today as an electronic marketplace. Batching orders for simultaneous execution at a single moment in time at a single price is the essence of call auction trading. Because its determination is based on the full set of orders, the clearing price in a call auction can be thought of as a `consensus value.' This contrasts with a continuous market where a transaction is made any time a buy and sell order meet in price, and where price generally fluctuates as the orders meet. Recent advances in computer technology have considerably expanded the call auction's functionality. We suggest that the problems we are facing concerning liquidity, volatility, fragmentation and price discovery are largely endemic to the continuous market, and that the introduction of electronic call auction trading in the U.S. would be the most important innovation in market structure that could be made. This book had its origin in a symposium, Electronic Call Market Trading, that was held at New York University's Salomon Center on April 20, 1995. At the time, three proprietary trading systems based on call auction principles (The Arizona Stock Exchange, Posit, and Instinet's Crossing Network) had been operating for several years and interest already existed in the procedure. Since the symposium, increasing use has been made of call auctions, primarily by the ParisBourse in its Nouveau Marchi and CAC markets, by Deutsche Borse in its Xetra market, and for fixed income in the U.S. by State Street's BondConnect. Rather than being used as stand alone systems, however, call auctions are now being interfaced with continuous markets so as to produce hybrid market structures, a development to which considerable attention is given in a number of the chapters in this book. The book is divided into three parts. + The first, Call Auction Trading, gives an overview of this trading environment. + The second, Investor Trading Practices and the Demand for Immediacy, contains the findings of four institutional trader surveys. + The third, Market Structure: The Broader Picture, presents a more inclusive view of the development of market structure.

Those who wish to understand a city's history visit museums, but Barbara Hodgson prefers a different approach. She explores the streets, bookstores, and markets, where a city reveals its most private self, displaying the contents of its attics and trash bins. Back alleys, obscure cemeteries, and hidden courtyards also offer up surprising finds and capture the essence of the city. Covering a wide cultural and physical geography from Brussels to Marrakech and Damascus to Portland, Trading in Memories follows Barbara Hodgson's travels through markets and other repositories of material culture around the world. The book looks deep into history through such objects as chandeliers left by French expatriates fleeing Shanghai in 1937 and glass lantern slides and stereoscope cards from around the world that attest to the human impulse for wanderlust, free or forced. This sumptuous book presents a wonderful visual and textual record of the true life and character of a place.
