This book introduces the financial markets and the quantitative tools used in them to help students learn how the markets operate and gain experience with their principal tools.
Trade Review"Teall’s Financial Trading and Investing presents clear and up-to-date coverage of trading and market microstructure. Arbitrage and hedging examples in currency, forwards, fixed income and options markets are well developed, with particular attention devoted to implementing transactions." --Ahmet K. Karagozoglu, Hofstra University "I enjoyed reading the material in Financial Trading and Investing. Dr. Teall’s coverage of the content in this text is very thorough, and it fills a niche in academic and professional literature on trading and market microstructure." --Travis Jones, Florida Gulf Coast University "The presentation is well supported not only by the extensive use of professional literature but also by examples in each chapter. The end-of-chapter questions enhance learning by enabling students to apply concepts in meaningful ways. They make the material more ‘real world' for advanced undergraduates or graduate students." --Kevin Klein, Illinois College
