The ability to predict and profit from the movements of the financial markets is a long sought-after goal.
But if price action is considered to be the product of a random walk only unpredictable news can affect prices, and it is therefore impossible to accurately predict market movement. This line of thought has prompted the growth in passive investing and tracker funds.
Richard Urbach counters this thinking by applying a new set of mathematical techniques to the financial markets, arguing that it is possible to accurately analyze the time series (or 'footprints') of chaotic real systems, map their underlying patterns, and predict future trends.
Many of the techniques of dynamical systems analysis have previously been described only in the dispersed and relatively inaccessible outputs of scientific research. There has been little practical interpretation of non-linear dynamics and its application to financial markets.
Footprints of Chaos is the first book to examine the opportunities presented by this new thinking, and is aimed directly at the investment analysts who can benefit from it.
Reviews
"Richard Urbach's book is essential reading for financial market participants, particularly risk management professionals. Identifying and tracking the path of chaotic systems is central to our ability to accurately forecast the evolution of asset prices. Richard Urbach provides us with the tools to do so in his book"
Michael Cohn, Panther Capital Management Limited, and member of Barons 500 Leaders for the 21st Century
"This comprehensively researched and conscientiously written book is particularly strong in that it will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers - from generalist fund managers to specialist financial engineers"
David Schwartz, Consultant, Norman Broadbent

Store description
We are a husband-and-wife team united by a lifelong passion for books. Our journey into bookselling began in 2003, sparked when one of us left graduate school to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. To help fund this new chapter, she started by selling her college textbooks online, and from there, our adventure into bookselling quickly blossomed. Our seller name, digger-dogger, reflects our deep love for dogs and is inspired by the playful nickname of one of our beloved Old English Sheepdogs. This spirited dog famously burrowed beneath our backyard deck, creating a cool and shady den to relax in—her "digger-dogger" antics becoming part of family lore. Over the past two decades, we've dedicated ourselves to curating a unique collection with a strong focus on non-fiction titles, especially rare, out-of-print, and specialized-topic books. We take pride in connecting our customers with the knowledge and stories they've been searching for, from academic subjects and professional resources to niche interests and historical explorations. Every order receives personal care, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Thank you for exploring our bookstore—we hope you find your next treasured read here.…
