Explores two neglected mathematical tools essential for competing successfully in today's frenzied commodities markets: quantity, which shows the proper amounts a trader should trade for a given market and system, and intercorrelation of returns (diversification), which shows not only which markets and systems to trade, but how to diversify with respect to trading the right quantities for each market. By using these lesser known tools in conjunction with the more popular trade/system selection tools, readers will see mathematically how success in the markets can be achieved, and how ``success'' without using all three is most likely incidental. In addition, non-stationary distribution of profits and losses and drawdowns are incorporated into the discussions to expose traders to the highs and lows of commodities markets and how best to leverage their assets.

What you need is the strategy that generates returns in the most common market condition--when the market is trading sideways. The Iron Condor is that strategy, and this book will teach you how to master it. When other strategies, meant to be used in big market moves, underperform--the iron condor will enable you to generate income because it is a combination of two popular leverage options strategies: the bull-put credit spread and the bear-call credit spread, one of which will always be profitable.
