Distills complex theories for the benefit of the average trader with little or no background in finance or mathematics by offering a wide range of valuable, practical strategies for limiting risk, avoiding catastrophic losses and managing the futures portfolio to maximize profits. Numerous topics are explored including: why most traders lose at the futures game most of the time; why most mechanical trading systems are apt to fail; the probabilistic approach to trading; how to make stop-loss orders work for, rather than against you; the pros and cons of options versus futures trading; and how to limit risk through diversification.

Nauzer J. Balsara is the author of Money Management Strategies for Futures Traders, published by Wiley.
There are two components crucial to success in trading: the effectiveness of the system used and the money management skills of the trader. Yet, as important as money management is, comparatively little has been written about it. Money Management Strategies for Futures Traders is the first practical work to appear on this subject in years. Comprehensive in scope yet simple in its approach, it's the first modern hands-on guide to money management that shows you how to measure and limit risk--without compromising the huge potential for earnings that makes the futures market so attractive. It explains how to leverage intelligently. And it illustrates, with examples, how to harness the laws of probability to improve your odds of success. Best of all, Money Management Strategies for Futures Traders takes you beyond theory to offer proven, original techniques and strategies that work in today's turbulent markets. A key focus of the book is its clear explanation of why most traders lose at the futures game and why most mechanical trading systems are doomed to failure. As a practical alternative, it applies the rules of probability to trading. It shows you how to make stop-loss orders work for, not against, you. It also demonstrates how diversification, when properly executed, can significantly limit your risk. An indispensable tool for futures traders, including novice traders with little or no background in finance or probability, Money Management Strategies for Futures Traders deals with a subject no trader in today's markets can afford to overlook.
