Abstract
This chapter focuses on the practical use of quantum finance in quantum trading and hedging operations. First, it begins with the basic concept of financial trading and hedging strategies, with an overview of latest R&D on AI-based trading and hedging counterparts. Second, it introduces seven major classical trading and hedging strategies inclusive of the author’s collection of over 20 years of experience in financial analysis and trading in various financial markets, which are also the building blocks of quantum trading methodology. Third, it explores basic concepts and techniques on quantum trading—the main theme of this chapter. In the conclusion section, it studies investment attitude and the importance of objectivity in trading and investment.
Self-discipline is what separates the winners and the losers.
Thomas Peterffy (born at 1944)
