From the Back Cover

"The definitive passport to success in derivatives. Don't enter the market without it!"

Bill Hodgson, Business Development, DTCC

 

“As a trader I crave clarity. Mastering Derivatives Markets integrates tradable insights with a nuanced account of the mechanics of the trade. My suspicion is that if you lost money recently in a derivatives trade it was to a trader who reads Ms Taylor's books.”

Joseph M. Brooks, Independent FX Trader, Las Vegas, USA

 

“We run a number of courses on financial products and this book serves as excellent pre-course reading as well as an everyday reference handbook.”

Maricar Obieta, Senior Vice President, Capital Markets Learning & Development Manager, Corporate and Investment Bank, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Citigroup

 

“An essential read for anyone serious about understanding the impact of technology on the global derivatives market.”

Kevin Thorogood, Director of Investment Bank Solutions, Thunderhead Ltd

 

Mastering Derivatives Markets provides full up-to-the-minute explanations of the basic building blocks of options, swaps and futures across the key asset classes: rates, currency, equity, commodity and credit as well as the downstream processes essential to an understanding of today’s new exchange traded instruments.
