About this title

From the Back Cover

Praise for GLOBAL MACRO TRADING

"Global Macro Trading is a precious addition to the analysis of macroeconomics. It also explains in clear and well-written chapters how to profit from continuously changing trends through the understanding of the relationships between equities, fixed income securities, foreign exchange, and commodity price movements. I highly recommend this very thorough and well-researched work to any investor."
―Marc Faber, Editor, The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report

"This is one of those books you want to have on your desk nearby and reference when you see something that you know is macro and want to get up to speed fast. Greg Gliner managed to get across a lot of important points and material in a clean and organized way, something that I wish I had 25 years ago when I was starting to trade global macro myself."
―Robert Savage, CEO of CCTrack Solutions, a new quantitative macro hedge fund

"Global Macro Trading is a perfect primer for those seeking to understand global macro. Gliner provides an easy to digest breakdown of the most critical topics related to trading global macro, including discretionary versus systematic approaches, technical analysis, the role of risk management in macro, economic data, and understanding different product groups. This book is a must-read for any money manager or trader seeking to understand the asset class."
―Anthony Scaramucci, Founder and Co-Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital

"It is quite possible for a 'bottoms up' investor to go through life without any understanding of global macroeconomics. Most think it can only be done by Ph.D.'s with access to enormous computing capacity and are intimidated. Greg Gliner unravels some of the mysteries of the strategy and provides a helpful guide to harnessing its power in a disciplined way. Every investor can benefit from knowing more about the science and art of this craft."
―Byron R. Wien, Vice Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners LP
