A basic understanding of risk management and volatility stabilization must now be replaced by more advanced knowledge. Kaufman recognizes risk acceptance as one of the most important aspects of any trading system, and this Sixth Edition is accordingly more focused on risk profiling and complex risk modeling, than its predecessors. To make way for this new emphasis, Kaufman has also completely revised the text to be better organized and shares more concise, with to-the-point trading explanations. Busy professionals and international traders will especially appreciate this new text. As the competition for trading profits gets tougher, traders need to look for more innovative solutions. This book teaches you not just how to apply various equity and futures investing methods, but how to pick and choose elements from among them to develop a unique strategy that suits your needs. Use the tools in this book to carve out your own niche in the market, and you'll trade smarter and reap greater rewards. Author: PERRY J.
