Download or read book Strategic Trading with Market Closures written by Alex Boulatov and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the equilibrium trading strategies of informed traders in the presence of market closures defined as periodic predictable stops of trading. We construct a dynamic auction model based on rational strategic behavior with asymmetric information across the agents. Empirical evidence indicates that market closures have important impact on the information structure of financial markets, in particular the private information flow. In our model, the insiders repeatedly increase their informational advantage over other agents by receiving private signals about fundamentals when the market is closed. In a continuous-time setting, we solve a dynamic programming problem and derive closed-form solutions for optimal intertemporal strategies of both insiders and the market maker. The key feature of insiders' optimal strategy is that they act strategically by anticipating future market closures. Because of this, even though market closures are periodic, the intertemporal pattern of optimal trading strategies is {not} periodic. This aperiodicity of trading is quite important since while it is a definitive feature of the data, it has been missing from the existing theoretical literature on market closures. In agreement with broad empirical evidence, we obtain a U-shaped pattern of trading volume during the periods when the market is open, superimposed on a U-shaped pattern during the lifetime of the economy, before all information about the asset is revealed.

Book excerpt: One of the most demanding and rewarding jobs in the world is trading. It provides the chance to profit from changes in financial markets, including those for equities, currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. But trading also comes with a lot of hazards and demands a great deal of knowledge, discipline, and skill. Trading can be approached in a multitude of ways, based on your objectives, tastes, and available funds. In order to take advantage of the market's long-term trends, some traders choose to maintain their holdings for months or even years. We refer to these traders as position traders or investors. Some traders would rather trade more frequently and profit from the market's short-term fluctuations. We refer to these traders as scalpers or day traders. There are two other categories of traders who concentrate on the market's medium-term vision in between these two extremes. These traders go by the names swing and intraday traders. Swing traders hold their deals for a few days or weeks, whereas intraday traders open and close their positions inside the same trading day. Both swing and intraday trading offer benefits and drawbacks of their own, as well as varying tactics and methods. You will discover how to become a profitable intraday and swing trader by reading this book. You will learn the fundamentals of swing and intraday trading, as well as how to use them in a variety of financial markets. Along with learning how to execute and manage your trades profitably, you will also learn how to create a trading plan and strategy that fit your goals and personality. Along with learning how to master the psychological aspects of trading, you will also learn how to assess and enhance your trading performance. This book isn't a quick-rich plan or a secret recipe for financial success. Trading is a serious industry that calls for perseverance, commitment, and never-ending education. This book is intended to give you the fundamental information and abilities you need to begin trading, as well as to assist you in avoiding the typical errors and traps that a lot of traders encounter. That being said, this book does not replace your own judgment and experience. In the end, you are in charge of your own trading choices and outcomes. Furthermore, this book is not an all-inclusive reference that addresses every facet and nuance of trading. Trading is a broad and intricate topic that takes a book to adequately discuss. In addition to introducing you to some of the most efficient and tried-and-true strategies and tactics you can employ to profit from intraday and swing trading situations, this book aims to provide you with an overview and framework of intraday and swing trading. That being said, your learning experience does not finish with this book. It is always a good idea to read more books, articles, blogs, podcasts, videos, and courses on trading in addition to watching and picking up tips from other experienced traders. Six chapters, each addressing a distinct facet of intraday and swing trading, make up the structure of the book. You will learn about the idea behind intraday and swing trading, as well as how they differ from other trading strategies, in the first chapter. Your trading goals, risk tolerance, and capital allocation are all defined in the second chapter, which also helps you develop a trading plan and strategy that will direct your trading decisions and actions. In the third chapter, you will learn how to use a variety of technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and market sentiment tools and approaches to find high-probability trade situations. The fourth chapter explains how to use position sizing, leverage, margin, and other order types to execute and manage your trades. In the fifth chapter, you will learn how to use feedback, statistics, and a trading notebook to assess and enhance your trading performance.

Book excerpt: Arms traders and sophisticated individual investors with the tools they need to play the markets successfully Many traders believe that they must perform at least one trade every day, no matter what.

He explains why maximum results are achieved by identifying the big market trends and riding them for all their worth. Headley explores the major market indicators-including the popular CBOE Volatility Index, Nasdaq 100, Rydex Mutual Fund Flows, and Equity Put/Call Ratio-and shows readers how to use them to identify the stocks that are about to take off. Emphasizing the aggressive use of options, he also empowers investors with stock selection techniques and options strategies that work in virtually every type of market.

Download or read book Technical Analysis of Gaps written by Julie R. Dahlquist and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaps have attracted the attention of market technicians from the earliest days of charting. They're not merely conspicuous: they represent price jumps that could signal profitable trading opportunities. Until now, however, "folklore" about gap trading has been common, and tested, research-based knowledge virtually nonexistent. In Technical Analysis of Gaps, renowned technical analysis researchers Julie Dahlquist and Richard Bauer change all that. Drawing on 60 years of comprehensive data, they demonstrate how to sort "strategic" gaps from trivial ones, and successfully trade on gaps identified as significant. Building on work that recently earned them the Market Technicians Association's 2011 Charles H. Dow Award for creativity and innovation in technical analysis, Dahlquist and Bauer offer specific gap-related trading tips for stocks, futures, and options. They consider a wide variety of market conditions, including gap size, volume and previous price movement, illuminating their findings with easy-to-understand diagrams. Coverage includes: understanding what gaps are and how they arise; recognizing windows on candlestick charts; identifying gaps with superior profit potential; combining gaps with other technical techniques for a more complete and effective analysis; and putting it all together with real trading strategies. For stock, commodity, and currency traders in the U.S. and worldwide, and for active individual investors seeking new ways to maximize returns.

Download or read book Trading Options at Expiration written by Jeff Augen and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equity and index options expire on the third Friday of each month. As that moment approaches, unusual market forces create option price distortions, rarely understood by most investors. These distortions give rise to outstanding trading opportunities with enormous profit potential. In Trading Options at Expiration: Strategies and Models for Winning the Endgame, leading options trader Jeff Augen explores this extraordinary opportunity with never-before published statistical models, minute-by-minute pricing analysis, and optimized trading strategies that regularly deliver returns of 40%-300% per trade. You’ll learn how to structure positions that profit from end-of-contract price distortions with remarkably low risk. These strategies don’t rely on your ability to pick stocks or predict market direction and they only require one or two days of market exposure per month. Augen also discusses: · Three powerful end-of-cycle effects not comprehended by contemporary pricing models · Trading only one or two days each month and avoiding overnight exposure · Leveraging the surprising power of expiration-day pricing dynamics If you’re looking for an innovative new way to reignite your returns no matter where the markets move, you’ve found it in Trading Options at Expiration. “Learn and profit from Jeff Augen’s book: It clearly explains how to take advantage of market inefficiencies in collapsing implied volatility, effects of strike price, and time decay. A must-read for individuals who are options oriented.” --Ralph J. Acampora, CMT, Director of Technical Analysis Studies, New York Institute of Finance “A fantastic, insightful book full of meticulously compiled statistics about anomalies that surround option expiration. Not only does Augen present a set of effective trading strategies to capitalize on these anomalies, he walks through the performance of each across several expirations. His advice is practical and readily applicable: He outlines common pitfalls, gives guidance on timing your executions, and even includes code that can be used to perform the same calculations he does in the text. A thoroughly enjoyable read that will give you a true edge in your option trading.” --Alexis Goldstein, Vice President, Equity Derivatives Business Analyst “Mr. Augen makes a careful and systematic study of option prices at expiration. His translation of price behavior into trading strategy is intriguing work, and the level of detail is impressive.” --Dr. Robert Jennings, Professor of Finance, Indiana University Kelly School of Business “This book fills a gap in the vast amount of literature on derivatives trading and stands out for being extremely well written, clear, concise, and very low on jargon--perfect for traders looking to evolve their equity option strategies.” --Nazzaro Angelini, Principal, Spearpoint Capital “Instead of considering macro-time strategies that take weeks to unfold, Jeff Augen is thinking micro here--hours or days--specifically the days or hours right before expiration, and harnessing grinding, remorseless options decay for profit. He builds a compelling case for the strategy here. The concept of using ratio spreads plus risk management for as brief a period as one day--open to close--to capture expiring premium is worth the price of admission alone. A superb follow-up to his first book. Must-read for the serious options student.” --John A. Sarkett, Option Wizard software
