| Summary |
"Written by a practitioner with years of trading room experience, this book is the first to introduce behavioural finance and psychometric testing insights in the context of Risk Management. If you are a risk manager, senior trader or top manager who is willing to go the extra mile to truly understand the real source of many decisions and issues in your organization, this book will open the door to a new kind of consciousness and awareness. Models, processes and trades are just symptoms and results of our (biased) decisions."--BOOK JACKET |
