New advances show
traders how to profit from temporary market volatility — and how to avoid its
perils
This
book shows
traders how to profit from temporary market volatility. It offers important new
knowledge and insights into the phenomena of predatory trading, crowded exits,
stop losses and manipulation. The
market volatility these situations create leaves unwary traders confused and
open to sudden, unexpected risk. For the knowledgeable traders, on the other
hand, such volatility offers profitable trading opportunities.
Predatory
traders,
who are typically well-capitalised and well-informed, exploit
their knowledge about the strategies, weaknesses and positions of other traders.
Market participants also need to be alert for manipulation which is
characterised by large, abnormal market moves in the absence of any news
announcement. Crowded exits can create losses for short-sellers when
security prices temporarily surge upwards against their expectations.
These
market phenomena have only recently begun to be better understood. Complete with
numerous examples, this book explains their basic principles and describes in
detail how these phenomena play out in real-life, thus advancing your knowledge
of market volatility and your ability to deal with it.
Every
trader will benefit from this book by gaining a clear understanding of
volatility caused by predatory trading and crowded exits — and the risks and
profit opportunities they create.
The new knowledge about these phenomena contained in this book would give you a
distinct edge over other traders both by helping you profit from temporary
market volatility and by protecting you from becoming its victim. Longer-horizon
investors who want to avoid timing errors would also gain from this book.
