Long-Short Market Dynamics by Clive Corcoran
Description
Hedge funds are currently the largest players in the capital markets. They follow a wide range of strategies, but their activities have replaced and eclipsed the traditional long portfolio manager model. Many traditional technical indicators and generally accepted trading strategies have become outdated or ineffective.
The focus throughout the book is on describing the major innovations that have been made in the stock markets over the past few years that have changed the basic rules of trading. By understanding these changes, the active trader is much better equipped to take profits in today’s more complex and risky markets. Long / short market dynamics include:
A completely new technique is introduced – comparative quantile analysis – to identify market turning points. It is based on statistical techniques that can be used to recognize cash flows and price / momentum divergences that can provide significant profit opportunities.
Power laws, mode shifts, self-organizing criticality, phase transitions, network dynamics, econophysics, algorithmic trading, and other ideas from the science of complexity are considered. They are all described as concretely as possible and avoid unnecessary mathematics and formalism.
Alpha generation, portfolio building, hedge ratios, and beta neutral portfolios are illustrated with case studies and proven examples.
Financial contagion episodes are illustrated by a suggested explanation of their origins within the underlying market dynamics.
