Leveraged Trading: A professional approach to trading FX, stocks on margin, CFDs, spread bets and futures for all traders: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Leveraged Trading: A professional approach to trading FX, stocks on margin, CFDs, spread bets and futures for all traders" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

With the right broker, and just a few hundred dollars or pounds, anyone can become a leveraged trader. The products and tools needed are accessible to all: FX, a margin account, CFDs, spread-bets and futures. But this level playing field comes with great risks. Trading with leverage is inherently dangerous. With leverage, losses and costs the two great killers for traders are magnified. This does not mean leverage must be avoided altogether, but it does mean that it needs to be used safely. In Leveraged Trading, Robert Carver shows you how to do exactly that, by using a trading system. A trading system can be employed to tackle those twin dangers of serious losses and high costs. The trading systems introduced in this book are simple and carefully designed to use the correct amount of leverage and trade at a suitable frequency. Robert shows how to trade a simple Starter System on its own, on a single instrument and with a single rule for opening positions. He then moves on to show how the Starter System can be adapted, as you gain experience and confidence. The system can be diversified into multiple instruments and new trading rules can be added. For those who wish to go further still, advice on making more complex improvements is included: how to develop your own trading systems, and how to combine a system with your own human judgement, using an approach Robert calls Semi-Automatic Trading. For those trading with leverage, looking for a way to take a controlled approach and manage risk, a properly designed trading system is the answer. Pick up Leveraged Trading and learn how.

Reviews of Systematic Trading by Robert Carver

A remarkable look inside systematic trading never seen before, spanning the range from small to institutional traders. Reading this will benefit all traders.

Perry Kaufman, author of Trading Systems and Methods

Rob goes into a level of depth which most trading book authors either deliberately avoid or simply lack knowledge of. Robs background in the industry is beyond reproach and the informational contents of his book shows his experience and depth of knowledge. If you want to enter the professional systematic trading field, Robs book is a must.

Andreas Clenow, CIO Acies Asset Management and author of Following The Trend

Being a hedge fund manager myself and having personally read almost all major investment and trading books, this is by far one of the best books I have read in over 15 years on a tough subject for most.

Josh Hawes, Hedge fund manager

Robert has had very valuable experience working for many years in a large quant hedge fund, which makes the book doubly worth reading.... Well worth a read for anyone who trades, in particular for systematic traders (whether youre a novice or more experienced)!

Saeed Amen, FX trader and author of Trading Thalesians

Reviews of Smart Portfolios by Robert Carver

Ive been a fan of Robert Carvers work for quite a while now, and this book definitely adds to the knowledge and experiences he willingly shares with others. Carver skillfully mixes theory and practicality, making this a great reference guide for intermediate and very experienced traders alike. Highly recommended!

Kevin Davey, Champion full-time trader, author of Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems

In Finance (like many other subjects) there is a large amount of research that is smart but impractical and an equally large amount of popular literature that is practical but dumb. This book is in that rare category of smart and practical it is also an entertaining read in its own right.

Francis Breedon, Professor of Finance, Queen Mary, University of London and former global head of currency research at Lehman Brothers

The book is a solid piece of work so check it out... Its about the process and there are some really practical ways, mathematical ways, to put a good process in motion for your life.

Michael Covel, author of Trend Following

When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.

Warren Buffett, legendary investor

the best minds were destroyed by the oldest and most famously addictive drug in finance, leverage.

Carol Loomis, Fortune magazine 1998

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 81% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Preface

Leverage (verb): use borrowed capital for an investment, expecting the profits made to be greater than the interest payable

Oxford Dictionary of English

Not so many years ago the use of leverage for trading was the exclusive domain of highly-trained investment professionals. Sharply dressed denizens of Wall Street or the City of London would happily borrow, and then gamble, hundreds of millions of dollars or pounds. But such risky behavior was not for the average Jo e (or Jane).

Things have changed. With the right broker, and just a few hundred dollars or pounds, anyone can become a leveraged trader. In the US it is easy to buy stocks, or bet on them falling, with a margin account . UK traders can make spread bets or take out contracts for difference (CFDs) on their favorite shares, as easily as betting at the local racecourse. In both countries, and in many others, you can trade foreign exchange (FX) a nd futures.

Leverage has levelled the playing field for smaller investors, but it has also made trading riskier. Leverage is inherently dangerous. With too much leverage a modest trading loss can be magnified into a wealth-destroying explosion. Leverage also increases the costs of trading: doubling your leverage will double your trading costs. Traders who manage to avoid a quick death from blowing up will instead die slowly, with high costs gradually emptying the ir accounts.

Because leverage is so dangerous, it is absolutely vital to use a safe level of leverage when trading. Deciding on how much leverage to use is the single most important decision that any trader will h ave to make.

To protect yourself from the dangers of leverage it is my belief that you should use a system when you start trading. This comes from my own experience: I have traded leveraged financial products for an investment bank without a system, and for a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund that traded exclusively with systems. Now I trade my own money using purely systema tic methods.

Trading systems have a poor reputation, but a simple system is much less likely to lose money than an inexperienced trader. If you use a system when you start trading, it will significantly improve your odds of becoming a profitable trader. A good system will calculate the right amount of leverage, protecting you from the dangers of serious losses and high costs.
