Currency trading offers immense potential to stock and futures investors seeking new speculative opportunities. However, there are several ways to trade in currencies, and many unsuspecting traders have been burned by aggressive marketing campaigns and gimmicks luring them into unfavorable trading environments. In this book, best-selling trading author Carley Garner covers everything new currency traders need to know to avoid those pitfalls and start earning big profits. Currency Trading in the Forex and Futures Markets begins by demystifying all the essentials, from quotes and calculations to the unique language of Forex trading. Readers learn all they need to know about choosing trading platforms and brokerage firms; working with leverage; controlling transaction costs; managing liquidity, margins, and risks; and much more. Garner thoroughly explains the currency spot market (Forex); currency futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME); and currency ETFs. She candidly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each, cutting through the "smoke and mirrors" often associated with currency trading. Readers will also find a full section on currency market speculation, including a clear introduction to fundamental and seasonal analysis in currency markets. With her guidance, new currency traders can identify the markets and approaches that best fit their objectives, and avoid the pitfalls that have often victimized their predecessors.

The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets serves as a definitive source for comprehensive and accessible information in futures markets. The emphasis is on the unique characteristics of futures markets that make them worthy of a special volume. In our judgment, futures markets are currently undergoing remarkable changes as trading is shifting from open outcry to electronic and as the traditional functions of hedging and speculation are extended to include futures as an alternative investment vehicle in traditional portfolios. The unique feature of this volume is the selection of five classic papers that lay the foundations of the futures markets and the invitation to the leading academics who do work in the area to write critical surveys in a dozen important topics.

The foreign exchange market is the largest, fastest-growing financial market in the world. Yet conventional macroeconomic approaches do not explain why people trade foreign exchange. At the same time, they fail to explain the short-run determinants of the exchange rate. These nine innovative essays use a microstructure approach to analyze the workings of the foreign exchange market, with special emphasis on institutional aspects and the actual behavior of market participants. They examine the volume of transactions, heterogeneity of traders, the time of day and location of trading, the bid-ask spread, and the high level of exchange rate volatility that has puzzled many observers. They also consider the structure of the market, including such issues as nontransparency, asymmetric information, liquidity trading, the use of automated brokers, the relationship between spot and derivative markets, and the importance of systemic risk in the market. This timely volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in the economics of international finance.

Fragen zu internationalen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen gewinnen angesichts der zunehmenden Globalisierung auch in der Wissenschaft eine immer stärkere Bedeutung. Demgegenüber scheinen Beiträge zu außenwirtschaftlichen Themen bei wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fachtagungen in den letzten Jahren eher an Bedeutung verloren zu haben. Angesichts dieses Widerspruches wurde im April 1999 der 1. Passauer Workshop "Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen" an der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Passau ins Leben gerufen."Real and Monetary Issues of International Economic Integration" enthält zehn ausgesuchte Beiträge dieses Workshops, die sich in Teil I mit Außenhandel und Faktorbewegungen und in Teil II mit Fragestellungen internationaler Finanzen und der Makroökonomie offener Volkswirtschaften beschäftigen. Ein eigener Teil III ist dabei den Beiträgen zur Europäischen Währungsunion gewidmet, denen aufgrund der Aktualität dieses Themas eine besondere Stellung zukommt.Aufgrund der überaus positiven Resonanz und der hohen Qualität der Beiträge soll der Passauer Workshop "Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen" fortgesetzt werden. Weitere Informationen zum Workshop und zu den Autoren finden Sie im Internet unter: http://www.wiwi.uni-passau.de/lehrstuehle/ruebel/pwiw/home.htm

In this remarkable stock market study, one of Wall Street’s best known market analysts reveals a new technical tool he developed for gauging the pulse of the trading cycle. Called the On Balance Volume Theory, this tool tends to fill in some of the conspicuous voids in the famous Dow Theory—especially the lack of discussion and use of stock volume figures. As straightforward as a set of bridge rules, on-balance volume (OBV) denotes each buy and sell signal so that a trader can follow them without his own emotions tending to lead him astray—emotions causing most of the market misjudgements that take place. The Granville OBV method is essentially scientific, has a high degree of accuracy and has many automatic features. The reader of this book will be introduced to a method whereby he may benefit by the earlier movements of volume over price—the “early warning” radar of volume buy and sell signals.
