Price movements in financial markets are not random. There are actually clues that allow sophisticated investors to uncover trends and make accurate predictions. The key to discovering this predictability lies in a new set of mathematical techniques --the application of dynamic, non-linear time series. This new science of investment is where chaos theory meets the markets. Richard Urbach offers practical advice and applications on the latest mathematical techniques and examines the opportunities these new techniques can deliver.
