Multiple stochastic models are designed to capture the salient features of various market regimes and dynamics. They are useful for pricing futures contracts and building futures portfolios. The authors analyze the mathematical problems associated with futures trading problems in different market environments. A series of numerical examples are presented to illustrate the optimal trading strategies. In addition, analytic formulas and numerical methods are provided for fast implementation. The book is useful for practitioners interested in futures trading as well as graduate students and researchers in Quantitative Finance.
