Forex Futures Trading

When trading futures, what is the meaning of the different order types and what is the best strategy?

For example, stop Emergency Market, limit MOC orders and what is that each of them to say and when to use them.

ohhh ... care ... future is one of the few places you can actually lose more than the amount you invested! If you do not know what these orders are, then I would advise that the shares trade for a while to get used to them. The actions are bad .. but future actions are like crack and meth and other drugs make you crazy! anyway: Stop: STOP! get me out! the price is falling and I want out! (Whatever the price is 10 at this time .. put Stop at 9, so if drops to 5, which came out at 9! But while which is more than $ 9 ... you stay in and do a lot of cash) Market Kill me! take all my money, I do not care! I want it now! (Orders market say - I know what I want, I want it now, give me the best price out there, I do not care what the price is) Limit: Wait! I know I want to ... but well, I do not want to pay more than $ 12 for it! (Orders say that you are limited to $ 12 or less ... but not a penny more) MOC: forget, do not do, this is simply a fool ... worse than the market, ie .. Market Closing (That means you want some, but wait until the market closes and then buy some ... I really do not give by a damn about what may cost me! ) Once again: if you do not know what these types of orders are ... you need to trade stocks for a year and forget Futures for now ... or I forget about all the money I used to have ..... Good luck !

Gaming the Market: Applying Game Theory to Create Winning Trading Strategies $70 Gaming the Market: Applying Game Theory to Create Winning Trading Strategies is the first book to show investors how game theory is applicable to decisions about buying and selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures, and options. As a practical trading guide, Gaming the Market will help investors master this revolutionary approach, and employ it to their advantage. Although game theory has been studied since the 1940s, it has only recently been applied to the world of finance. Game theory champions garnered the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics, and, today, this theory is used to analyze everything from the baseball strike to FCC auctions. Increasingly, game theory is making its mark as a potent tool for traders. In Gaming the Market, economist Ronald B. Shelton provides a model that enables traders to predict profitability and, as a result, make effective buy and sell decisions. Stated simply, game theory is the study of conflict based on a formal approach to decision making that views decisions as choices made in a game. Whether playing individually or in a group, each player in a conflict has more than one course of action available to him, and the outcome of the game depends on the interaction of the strategies pursued by each. Shelton offers real-world examples that reveal how the principles of game theory drive financial markets and how these same principles can be used to develop winning investment strategies. Through Shelton's organized and precise explanations he uses familiar games such as chess and checkers to illustrate his points readers gain a solid understanding of the key principles of game theory before applying them to actual financial marketsituations. Gaming the Market examines the interaction between price fluctuations and risk acceptance levels and gradually constructs a game theory model which proves that there are probability-based formulas for determining the profitability of any given trade.
