"What is at stake is not some obscure academic point, but lies at the very heart of option pricing, and will inform the users’ decisions insofar as their choice of pricing model is concerned." From the Introduction In his new book, Riccardo Rebonato introduces financial professionals to the practical and subtle use of the concepts of volatility (the degree of randomness in a price movement) and correlation (the relationship between the changes in value of two financial assets) in the pricing of complex options. By explaining this approach in clear and accessible terms, the author provides traders, risk managers, financial professionals and students with the tools to undertake an effective investigation of option pricing models both at the qualitative and the quantitative level. "In this book Dr Rebonato brings his penetrating eye to bear on option pricing and hedging. In his usual intuitive style he critically examines a variety of approaches to equity, currency and interest-rate options. The book is full of practical insights that reflect a wealth of experience in applying these models. The book is a ‘must read’ for those who already know the basics of options and are looking for an edge in applying the more sophisticated approaches that have recently been developed." Professor Ian Cooper, London Business School "This book is a blend of the theoretical, the practical, and the abstract, but always staying in contact with reality. I don’t agree with everything in it, but it taught me a thing or two. Read it carefully and thoroughly." Paul Wilmott, author of Derivatives "Volatility and correlation are at the very core of all option pricing and hedging. In this book, Riccardo Rebonato presents the subject in his characteristically elegant and simple fashion. He rightly emphasises the financial and economic assumptions which underpin the models, and gives salutary warnings against models which overfit the current structure of prices but which perform poorly in predicting future behaviour. A rare combination of intellectual insight and practical common sense." Anthony Neuberger, Associate Professor, Institute of Finance and Accounting, London Business School

The first comprehensive guide on maximum adverse excursion — a powerful new tool for dramatically lessening trading risks "Trading successfully, like everything else, is built upon solid preparation. It is the well-prepared individual who will be able to cope in today's competitive market. John Sweeney's Maximum Adverse Excursion will provide you with the steps to perform the analytical review of your trading system that you should undertake before you ever risk your capital." — Thomas Hartle, Editor Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine "Maximum Adverse Excursion deals with a much overlooked subject: how to minimize losses. If every trader took John Sweeney's advice and learned how to minimize losses before trying to make profits, they would be financially ahead." — Martin J. Pring, President The International Institute for Economic Research "John Sweeney has done it again. As with Campaign Trading, he takes a complex set of ideas and explains them in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, in a form that traders can use to help them make informed and profitable buy-sell decisions." — Clifford Sherry, PhD, author The Mathematics of Technical Analysis Most successful traders have a "sixth sense" that alerts them to loss points and amounts. But what happens when intuition fails? When the potential loss incurred on a trade is significant, you need more than guesswork. But is it possible to estimate the loss point accurately—quantitatively? With maximum adverse excursion (MAE), the answer is a resounding "YES". This innovative method of risk management enables traders to steer clear of potentially devastating results by pinpointing loss points before implementing trading decisions. Now, in the first book to provide an in-depth examination of this vital trading tool, John Sweeney, MAE developer and Technical Editor of the highly regarded Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine, takes you step by step through its various intricacies. In this comprehensive and accessible reference, Sweeney shows how the key to successful MAE implementation lies in determining whether there is any consistency in market behavior. By measuring and charting price excursion from a set point of entry, you can establish—quickly and easily—whether prices show consistent behavior over a finite time frame. If, in fact, some regularity, some pattern in price changes is revealed, you can then exploit it while in the trade. The bottom line is a more reliable system for discerning whether your trade is going in your direction or not, and—in either case—what likely events are next. By replacing guesswork with statistical descriptions, you can objectively determine when to cut off a loser, or put in a protective stop . . . or take profits. Maximum Adverse Excursion can give you "the elusive edge that traders seek . . . a line all your own, from which profits can flow with minimized, quantifiable risk." This comprehensive, accessible reference gives you the tools you need to employ MAE successfully, including detailed information on: Defining and calculating adverse, minimum, and maximum favorable excursion (MinFE and MaxFE) Displaying MAE—aggregation, frequency diagrams, stop size Determining specific capital requirements—capital conservation, defining drawdowns Profit definition by stop level—profit tradeoffs, profit curves, interpretation Impact of volatility changes—tweaks, changing stops by range or volatility Trading management—portfolio impacts, day-to-day management, elaborations Complete with sample calculations, practical examples, and EXCEL programs for creating your own charts, this is the definitive guide to using MAE effectively—and profitably.

The US and the World financial systems collapsed in the Fall of 2008 which caused the US Treasury to initiate bailouts for several major US corporations. The US Fed lowered the interest rates to zero %. The US Congress and Treasury provided bailouts to prevent corporations such as GM, AIG and banks from collapse. A big chunk of AIG's payments, $22.4 billion of $118.4 billion, was made to Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs (GS Quote), Bank of America (BAC Quote), Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley (MS Quote), as well as to foreign banks like Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank (DB Quote) and Barclays (BCS Quote). These firms bought Credit Default Swaps (CDS) from the insurer. CDSs insure counterparties against major losses on debt investments. As the value of those investments declined, AIG was obligated to provide collateral payments to the firms that purchased CDS. This worsened the economic decline. The OEX S&P 100 index fell from 560.90 on 25-September-2008 to 411.90 on 27-October-2008, a drop of 149 points, or 26.5% in one month. This was the October 2008 stock market collapse. During this same period my OEX weekly options trading capital went from $4,242 to $6,189, or an increase of $1,948, or 45.9%. In other words, when the stock market fell by 26% the weekly option trading value rose by 45.9%. I want to show the reader how to trade OEX weekly Options. These weekly options open on Friday to expire the following Friday. Chapter 2 details the easy to use Weekly Option trading strategies.
