This is the survival guide for trading in a world where high-frequency trading predominates in markets, accounting for upwards of 60% of trading in equities and futures, and 40% in foreign exchange.

Commodity Investing and Trading by Stinson Gibner : the book

Stinson Gibner brings two decades worth of experience to Commodity Investing and Trading, in which he and his experienced contributors discuss all aspects of the commodity markets, from fundamentals to how best to invest and trade in them. This book systematically provides the reader with an introduction to the primary risk drivers of each of the principle commodity markets.

In a world where commodities are increasing in importance due to the growth in emerging markets, issues over fossil fuels, renewable energy, rare earths, inflation, and precious metals (amongst many other issues), the necessity of this book is greater than at any time since the 1970s. The growing knowledge that commodities can be an effective tool for portfolio diversification has increased their desirability, and the volatility in these markets has necessitated a greater knowledge of their machinations.

Commodity Investing and Trading covers the full spectrum of investable commodity markets in order to give you a solid grounding in the nature and drivers of these markets. The book gives an overview of the fundamental risk drivers for the main commodity classes and issues pertaining to their transportation, storage and infrastructure; historical price perspectives and location pricing; a rationale of index investing and recent advances in index construction; the current trading strategies applicable to commodities; and key concerns for the coming decade.

You are provided with broad-based expertise in these highly dynamic markets, regardless of your level of experience. The investor will become knowledgeable about the opportunities in these markets along with characteristics of each market segment and cautionary articles on how to avoid pitfalls. The novice trader will find a solid introduction to market fundamentals as well as a sample of typical strategies used in each market.

All readers will be provided with insight and practical knowledge on the commodity markets that could otherwise only be obtained by directly working for natural-resource-focused trading and investing companies.

Commodity Investing and Trading is the comprehensive guide to understanding and evaluating trading and investing opportunities in the commodities markets, with chapters written by established industry experts in commodities research.
 

David Ardia, "Financial Risk Management with Bayesian Estimation of GARCH Models: Theory and Applications" : the book

This book presents methodologies for the Bayesian estimation of GARCH models and their application to financial risk management. The study of these models from a Bayesian viewpoint is relatively recent and can be considered very promising due to the advantages of the Bayesian approach, in particular the possibility of obtaining small-sample results and integrating these results in a formal decision model. The first two chapters introduce the work and give an overview of the Bayesian paradigm for inference. The next three chapters describe the estimation of the GARCH model with Normal innovations and the linear regression models with conditionally Normal-GJR and Student-t-GJR errors. The sixth chapter shows how agents facing different risk perspectives can select their optimal Value at Risk Bayesian point estimate and documents that the differences between individuals can be substantial in terms of regulatory capital. The last chapter proposes the estimation of a Markov-switching GJR model.

PRAISE FOR JOSH BROWN'S BACKSTAGE WALL STREET: "Much like Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker captured the essence of 1980s institutional Wall Street, Brown's Backstage Wall Street re-creates the boiler room retail brokerage culture of the 1990s and early 2000s in vivid color." — FORBES

"Run don't walk to read Brown's chronicles of deception [perpetrated by] those wonderful folks on Wall Street, who nearly bankrupted the world's financial system a few short years ago." — DOUGLAS A. KASS, Seabreeze Partners Management, Inc.

Complexity in Financial Markets: Modeling Psychological Behavior in Agent-Based Models and Order Book Models by Matthieu Cristelli : the book

Tools and methods from complex systems science can have a considerable impact on the way in which the quantitative assessment of economic and financial issues is approached, as discussed in this thesis. First it is shown that the self-organization of financial markets is a crucial factor in the understanding of their dynamics. In fact, using an agent-based approach, it is argued that financial markets’ stylized facts appear only in the self-organized state. Secondly, the thesis points out the potential of so-called big data science for financial market modeling, investigating how web-driven data can yield a picture of market activities: it has been found that web query volumes anticipate trade volumes. As a third achievement, the metrics developed here for country competitiveness and product complexity is groundbreaking in comparison to mainstream theories of economic growth and technological development. A key element in assessing the intangible variables determining the success of countries in the present globalized economy is represented by the diversification of the productive basket of countries. The comparison between the level of complexity of a country's productive system and economic indicators such as the GDP per capita discloses its hidden growth potential.
