Treasury's War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare by Juan Zarate : the book

For more than a decade, America has been waging a new kind of war against the financial networks of rogue regimes, proliferators, terrorist groups, and criminal syndicates. Juan Zarate, a chief architect of modern financial warfare and a former senior Treasury and White House official, pulls back the curtain on this shadowy world. In this gripping story, he explains in unprecedented detail how a small, dedicated group of officials redefined the Treasury’s role and used its unique powers, relationships, and reputation to apply financial pressure against America’s enemies.

This group unleashed a new brand of financial power—one that leveraged the private sector and banks directly to isolate rogues from the international financial system. By harnessing the forces of globalization and the centrality of the American market and dollar, Treasury developed a new way of undermining America’s foes. Treasury and its tools soon became, and remain, critical in the most vital geopolitical challenges facing the United States, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the regimes in Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

This book is the definitive account, by an unparalleled expert, of how financial warfare has taken pride of place in American foreign policy and how America’s competitors and enemies are now learning to use this type of power themselves. This is the unique story of the United States’ financial war campaigns and the contours and uses of financial power, and of the warfare to come.

Forex Mentor - Tactical Fx Trend Trading Strategies : the book

The Step-by-Step Trend Following Strategies of a Full-time Forex Trader

Kelvin's approach flat out works! I hope you will take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn from someone that has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is possible to attain consistent profitability by applying simple and time tested techniques.

Working with Kelvin to put this course together with him has been a unique experience for me for several reasons. First, Kelvin is the most unassuming person you will ever meet. He has a very simple way about him. His trading approach is equally simple. Like many traders, Kelvin trades at levels of support/resistance, but he has a unique way of qualifying and filtering currency pairs before each trading day. He learned this technique from a bank trader friend who works at a major world bank.

Another interesting fact you will hear about Kelvin is his great understanding of odds and probabilities. At the age of just 13 years old, Kelvin learned about horse betting from one of the most successful bettors of the time. He took Kelvin under his wing and taught him some valuable lessons that were a key factor in shaping Kelvin’s success. To this day, Kelvin still successfully bets on horse races. You’ll hear Kelvin talk about this person who mentored him, as well as other people who had a big influence on him. It’s a cool story, and I think you’ll really love it.

Here's what you can expect from this course:

A detailed approach of Kelvin's daily trading plan

All the technical tools Kelvin uses

How he uses stochastic and MACD

How he assesses which currency pairs he's even interested in for the next trading day (this takes only a few minutes at the end of the day)

Over 20 real recent trading examples are discussed

Erik Banks - Dark Pools: The Structure and Future of Off-Exchange Trading and Liquidity : the book

Dark Pools is a practical text dealing with the increasingly important topic of dark pools, or non-displayed, off-exchange trading and liquidity. A growing amount of institutional trading occurs away from exchanges and expansion in this little understood sector of the market is set to continue. The book is organized in three parts: Market Structure, Micro Issues, and Environment of the Future. The first chapters consider the development and evolution of the equity trading marketplace over the past two decades, including the creation of dedicated dark pool platforms, and introduce the concept of market liquidity, the formation of displayed and non-displayed orders, and the operation and structure of key dark pools. Attention then turns to the architecture of a typical dark pool, and how orders are routed to capture dimensions of non-displayed liquidity. This is followed by an analysis of the pricing and economics of dark liquidity and common trading strategies employed by institutions - including dark algorithms, high frequency trading and the controversial mechanism of 'gaming.' The final chapters analyze the regulatory and control framework and consider how dark pools may evolve in a post-financial crisis world.

Richard L. Weissman and Steve Burns, "New Trader, Rich Trader 2: Good Trades, Bad Trades" : the book

Trading is not the path to free money; profits must be earned through homework, discipline, courage, patience, and perseverance in the markets." - Rich Trader In contrast to its precursor, "New Trader, Rich Trader", where New Trader struggled with basic issues such as development of a positive expectancy method, position sizing as well as determining which assets to trade; in this manuscript all those issues have been resolved and so at the book's inception one might imagine New Trader would simply be relating his successes to Rich Trader.As anyone who has successfully transitioned from "New Trader" to "Rich Trader" can attest, this is not the case and our authors brilliantly navigate New Trader's journey from knowing how to trade "in theory" towards flawless implementation of his positive expectancy model despite draw downs, missed opportunities, price shock events, and so on. As in all of Steve's books, I am consistently amazed at how despite his obvious mastery of our business he can recall with intimate detail what it was like to make the full gamut of "New Trader" mistakes. "New Trader, Rich Trader 2" will have New Traders reaching for their highlighters while Rich Traders smile knowingly at distance memories of painful missteps. Wherever you are in the journey from New to Rich Trader, this book is an indispensable tool filled with lots of "Aha" moments. To Steve and Janna, congratulations on a job well done, to all the New Traders reading this, pat yourself on the back for having found an indispensable aid in your journey from novice to pro.
