Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets is a major new theoretical and empirical study of international currencies that focuses on the role the Euro (the future European currency) will play in the international monetary and financial system, along with the US dollar and the Japanese yen. In contrast to much of the existing literature that approaches the subject from a macroeconomic perspective, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical model that uses game theory, time series and panel econometrics, and links financial markets analysis with transaction cost economics. The results are presented with reference to political, historical and institutional considerations, and provide accessible answers to policy makers, business people and scholars world wide.

The latest developments in chaos theory - from an industry expert

Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets was the first book to introduce and popularize chaos as it applies to finance. It has since become the classic source on the topic. This new edition is completely updated to include the latest ripples in chaos theory with new chapters that tie in today's hot innovations, such as fuzzy logic, neural nets, and artificial intelligence.

Critical praise for Peters and the first edition of Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets

"The bible of market chaologists." - BusinessWeek

"Ed Peters has written a first-class summary suitable for any investment professional or skilled investor." - Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities

"It ranks among the most provocative financial books of the past few years. Reading this book will provide a generous payback for the time and mental energy expended." - Financial Analysts Journal

This second edition of Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets brings the topic completely up to date with timely examples from today's markets and descriptions of the latest wave of technology, including genetic algorithms, wavelets, and complexity theory.

Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets was the very first book to explore and popularize chaos theory as it applies to finance. It has since become the industry standard, and is regarded as the definitive source to which analysts, investors, and traders turn for a comprehensive overview of chaos theory. Now, this invaluable reference - touted by BusinessWeek as "the bible of market chaologists" - has been updated and revised to bring you the latest developments in the field.

Mainstream capital market theory is based on efficient market assumptions, even though the markets themselves exhibit characteristics that are symptomatic of nonlinear dynamic systems. As it explores - and validates - this nonlinear nature, Chaos and Order repudiates the "random walk" theory and econometrics. It shifts the focus away from the concept of efficient markets toward a more general view of the forces underlying the capital market system.

Presenting new analytical techniques, as well as reexamining methods that have been in use for the past forty years, Chaos and Order offers a thorough examination of chaos theory and fractals as applied to investments and economics. This new edition includes timely examples from today's markets and descriptions of cutting-edge technologies-genetic algorithms, wavelets, complexity theory-and hot innovations, such as fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence.

Beyond the history of current capital market theory, Chaos and Order covers the crucial characteristics of fractals, the analysis of fractal time series through rescaled range analysis (R/S), the specifics of fractal statistics, and the definition and analysis of chaotic systems. It offers an in-depth exploration of:
* Random walks and efficient markets - the development of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and modern portfolio theory
* The linear paradigm - why it has failed
* Nonlinear dynamic systems - phase space, the Henon Map, Lyapunov exponents
* Applying chaos and nonlinear methods - neural networks, genetic algorithms
* Dynamical analysis of time series - reconstructing a phase space, the fractal dimension

Tonis Vaga's Coherent Market Hypothesis - the theory of social imitation, control parameters, Vaga's implementations

Plus, Chaos and Order now contains a Windows-compatible disk including data sets for running analyses described in the appendices.

Written by a leading expert in the field, Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets has all the information you need for a complete, up-to-date look at chaos theory. This latest edition will undoubtedly prove to be as invaluable as the first.

With instant electronic market access and powerful financial tools at their disposal, today's "technician"--one who practices the art of technical analysis--has more opportunities than ever before to profitably trade in a variety of markets. But in order to truly excel, you need a method that will allow you to identify market moves, and strategies that will allow you to make the most of those moves.

During this time, he's refined his trading skills and, by using candlestick formations in conjunction with pivot points, developed a reliable methodology that will help you make smarter trades with less risk.

In his first book, A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics, Person introduced traders to the concept of integrating candlestick charting with pivot point analysis. Now, in Candlestick and Pivot Point Trading Triggers, he goes a step further and shows you how to devise your own setups and triggers--in the stock, forex, and futures markets--based on a moving average approach.

Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, this comprehensive guide: Examines the methodology of pivot point analysis and how it can be applied to different markets Shows you what to look for when reading candlestick charts and why you should rely on price rather than indicators Discusses how to find certain setups and explains what triggers a call to trading action Walks you through the various types of stop orders, including when and where to place them Illustrates how back testing your methods can help uncover the strengths and weaknesses ofyour system

Person also fully discloses some of his proprietary setups, such as the high close doji, the low close doji, and the jack hammer pattern, complete with rules on the entries and exits to help you identify high probability trades.

With the tools and techniques outlined in this book--which includes a companion CD-ROM that contains Person's own Pivot Point Calculator and an instructional presentation on how to use it--you'll be able to put together a trading plan that consistently helps you yield profits.

Why did US stock markets experience such a huge bubble in the 1990s? Why did Greenspan 'allow' the bubble to occur? Why did investors appear to act irrationally and indulge in such vehement speculations? Why the euphoria? This book examines the American stock market during one of its most intriguing periods. By turning his critical eye upon the rise of the stock market bubble during the 1990s boom years and its inevitable crash some years later, David L. Western has written a scholarly yet readable book. Providing historical background as well as solid statistical research, the book helps to explain the mysteries of the stock market in an authoritative manner. Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate and postgraduate students will find this to be an enlightening read, whilst readers with an interest in how the biggest economy in the world got things badly wrong will find this to be a book that remains useful as a reference for many years to come.
