From a leading trading systems developer, how to make
profitable trades when there are no obvious trends
How does a trader find alpha when markets make no sense, when
price shocks cause diversification to fail, and when it seems
impossible to hedge? What strategies should traders, long
conditioned to trend trading, deploy? In Alpha Trading: Profitable
Strategies That Remove Directional Risk, author Perry Kaufman
presents strategies and systems for profitably trading in
directionless markets and in those experiencing constant price
shocks. The book
Details how to exploit new highs and lows
Describes how to hedge primary risk components, find robustness,
and craft a diversification program
Other titles by Kaufman: New Trading Systems and Methods, 4th
Edition and A Short Course in Technical Trading, both by
Wiley
Given Kaufman''s 30 years of experience trading in almost every
kind of market, his Alpha Trading will be a welcome addition to the
trading literature of professional and serious individual traders
for years to come.
