This book is for all stock traders, and some longer-term investors, who are interested in learning about one of the most efficient instruments for short-term trading: stock futures. Alpesh B. Patel explains everything you need to know about stock futures, from basic characteristics to practical trading strategies. He highlights their special advantages, especially as a low-cost way of gaining exposure to non-UK equities, and shows how they can be employed to enhance returns and control portfolio risk.
