This title explores two neglected mathematical tools essential for competing successfully in today's frenzied commodities markets: quantity, which shows the proper amounts a trader should trade for a given market and system, and intercorrelation of returns (diversification), which shows not only which markets and systems to trade, but how to diversify with respect to trading the right quantities for each market. By using these lesser known tools in conjunction with the more popular trade/system selection tools, readers will see mathematically how success in the markets can be achieved, and how "success" without using all three is most likely incidental. In addition, non-stationary distribution of profits and losses and drawdowns are incorporated into the discussions to expose traders to the highs and lows of commodities markets and how best to leverage their assets.

Synopsis A guide to money management strategies for traders in the futures, options, and stock markets, this book shows how to profitably exploit the rules of probability and the principles of modern portfolio theory. I bought this book about 4 years ago and put it on the shelf for later reading (I collect books in this subject area). I sure wish I read it thoroughly at an earlier date. Concerning the area of money management as related to investing, this is simply the best book I have ever seen, and like I said, I collect books dealing with this subject. While this book at first seems oriented towards the futures markets, its principles may be applied to any market. Personally, I invest in stocks, not futures. Just this weekend, using the theory discussed in this book, I set up a spreadsheet that I feel confident will greatly improve my trading returns in the future. Highly recommended. The material is explained very well and very thoroughly and is very convincing. This book changed my trading life. It tells why money management is as important or more important than a trading strategy itself. It also allows one to make apple to apple comparisons of trading systems; after the analysis you then allocate numbers of contracts (or shares) to each system. Without proper money management most traders, even with winning strategies, are doomed to fail. Content: The Random Process and Gambling Theory. Systems and Optimization. Reinvestment of Returns and Geometric Growth Concepts. Optimal Fixed Fractional Trading. Risk of Ruin. The Total Portfolio Approach. Covering the Periphery. Appendices.
