Description of Event Trading

As experienced traders can attest, news events often mark the beginning or culmination of major trends. Event trading is a new and exciting technique to trade the financial and commodity markets, and represents a third major approach to trading, distinctly different from the fundamental or technical methodologies. Designed to capture profits from market reactions to news events, event trading provides a systematic approach for exploiting a variety of market-moving events such as economic reports, interest rate changes, and surprises in corporate earnings.

By understanding how markets respond to the news, traders can reap consistent profits. Event Trading is the first book on this subject and is sure to generate great interest among active investors. Specific topics include:

Origins of event trading
Upside and downside breakouts
Creating an event-traded portfolio

As most traders know, finding a profitable trading strategy is only one step on the path to success. The determination of stop-loss levels is a crucial element of trading, and it often separates the winners from the losers. Event trading reveals the author's unique method of selecting the best stop to use for any market condition. Finally the book reveals how a trend-follower can apply event trading to better time entry and exit points, and how to use game theory to adjust position sizes and maximise the return of any system.
