More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Explains arbitrage, hedging, and speculation from the standpoint of a participant in the foreign exchange market - whether an individual trader or an institutional trader - who possesses analytical skill, economically sound judgment, and who has access to market data. In the foreign exchange market, arbitrage involves the simultaneous purchase and sale of a currency in different markets; the profit comes from the difference in the buying and selling prices. Hedging and speculation are opposing strategies for dealing with risk; hedging is a cover, and speculation is an assumption of risk. The authors also discuss futures, swaps, forward contracts, and other strategies.

Mostly just another (decent) book on trading instruments
28 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is yet another book -a fairly decent one - that explains the instruments that can be used in exchange rate trading. The title and book blurb though promise more - I bought the book thinking it would provide more on general principles of arbitrage, hedging and speculation. It does have some useful stuff on these issues but we would have been better served by more. This is a book at an intermediate level.
