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.

This book introduces the readers to the rapidly growing literature and latest results on financial, fundamental and seasonal anomalies, stock selection modeling and portfolio management. Fifty years ago, finance professors taught the Efficient Markets Hypothesis which states that the average investor could not outperform the stock market based on technical, seasonal and fundamental data. Many, if not most faculty and investors, no longer share that opinion. In this book, the authors report original empirical evidence that applied investment research can produce statistically significant stock selection and excess portfolio returns in the US, and larger excess returns in international and emerging markets.

Forbes Magazine called the 1,600-page, original Handbook of Futures Markets ``an exceptionally fine collection of work on every phase of the futures market.'' Now in paperback (and weighing much less than the six-and-a-half pound hardcover edition), this concise version covers the essential principles and methods in the encyclopedic original in 800 pages. Comprising all the material in Parts I through V of the original handbook, this edition brings together the know-how of the markets' foremost authorities. It covers futures markets and their operation; factors that influence the markets; uses of the markets, including hedging, managing interest rate risk, commodity spreads and options; forecasting methods and tools; and risk and money management.

In this book, Dr Mak views the financial market from a scientific perspective. The book attempts to provide a realistic description of what the market is, and how future research should be developed. The market is a complex phenomenon, and can be forecasted only with errors — if that particular market can be forecasted at all. The book reviews the scientific literatures on the financial market and describes mathematical procedures which demonstrate that some markets are non-random. How the markets are modeled — phenomenologically and from first principle — is explained. It discusses indicators, which are quite objective, rather than price patterns, which are rather subjective. Similarities between indicators in market trading and operators in mathematics are noted, and particularly, between oscillator indicators and derivatives in Calculus. It illustrates why some indicators, e.g., Stochastics, have limited usage. Several new indicators are designed and tested on theoretical waveforms to check their validity and applicability. The indicators have a minimal time lag, which is significant for trading purposes. Common market behaviors like divergences between price and momentum are explained. A skipped convolution technique is introduced to allow traders to pick up market movements at an earlier time. The market is treated as a nonlinear phenomenon. Forecasting of when the market is going to turn is emphasized. Contents:Is the Market Random?Models of the Financial MarketsSignals and IndicatorsTrending IndicatorsOscillator IndicatorsVertex IndicatorsVarious TimeframesWavelet AnalysisOther New TechniquesTrading SystemsFinancial Markets are Complex Readership: Investors, traders and undergraduate students of finance. Keywords:Trading;Complexity;Financial Market;Digital Signal ProcessingReviews:“… chapters of the book are devoted to signals and indicators that can model differences in successive price values, market tops and bottoms and other market's specific features. Several new indicators are designed. They are tested on theoretical wave forms before being applied on real market data. It is explained why certain market movements follow certain indicator response. Divergences between price and certain indicator responses are interpreted … Computer programs of the new indicators are included.”Zentralblatt MATH “The Science of Financial Market Trading by Don K Mak is an advanced level book that addresses several methodologies related to technical analysis in trading. The audience for the book may include (1) Institutional investment analysts with graduate level academic background, (2) Fund managers, who use many external sources for trading, (3) Graduate students in the field of finance and financial economics who want to find a career in financial market trading, and (4) PhD students who want to research in technical analysis … The book is written to draw audiences from both practitioners and academics and manages to keep the readers away from too much mathematical derivations. However, mathematical derivations are left in the Appendix for those who are interested in understanding the details … the book is well written from the beginning to the end, and chapters are well developed and well connected.”Journal of Risk and Insurance “The book draws heavily on mathematical modeling, digital information processing methods and mathematical tables to explain the movement of indicators under different conditions. The mathematical derivations and other mathematical techniques performed on these new indicators are useful for readers who want to acheive a deeper understanding of the financial market.”Translated from the Overseas Humanities Literature Wuhan University Newsletter

This volume provides the definitive treatment of fortune's formula or the Kelly capital growth criterion as it is often called. The strategy is to maximize long run wealth of the investor by maximizing the period by period expected utility of wealth with a logarithmic utility function. Mathematical theorems show that only the log utility function maximizes asymptotic long run wealth and minimizes the expected time to arbitrary large goals. In general, the strategy is risky in the short term but as the number of bets increase, the Kelly bettor's wealth tends to be much larger than those with essentially different strategies. So most of the time, the Kelly bettor will have much more wealth than these other bettors but the Kelly strategy can lead to considerable losses a small percent of the time. There are ways to reduce this risk at the cost of lower expected final wealth using fractional Kelly strategies that blend the Kelly suggested wager with cash. The various classic reprinted papers and the new ones written specifically for this volume cover various aspects of the theory and practice of dynamic investing. Good and bad properties are discussed, as are fixed-mix and volatility induced growth strategies. The relationships with utility theory and the use of these ideas by great investors are featured.
