The Trading Game: A Confession
‘Compelling, intensely readable, unsettling. An unforgettable story of greed, financial madness and moral decay’ Rory Stewart
‘An incredibly important and timely book, very much of its era. The Wolf of Wall Street with a moral compass’ Irvine Welsh
‘Astonishing, enraging, extremely funny and exquisitely sad – a magnificent exposé of the ‘masters of the universe’ whose greed imperils us all. I cannot recommend this book highly enough’ The Secret Barrister
*An outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of an intoxicating world – from someone who survived the trading game and then blew it all wide open*
‘If you were gonna rob a bank, and you saw the vault door there, left open, what would you do? Would you wait around?
Ever since he was a kid, kicking broken footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Something a whole lot bigger.
Then he won a competition run by a bank: ‘The Trading Game’. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life, as the youngest trader in the whole city. A place where you could make more money than you’d ever imagined. Where your colleagues are dysfunctional maths geniuses, overfed public schoolboys and borderline psychopaths, yet they start to feel like family. Where soon you’re the bank’s most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars. A day. Where you dream of numbers in your sleep – and then stop sleeping at all.
But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer – and, as the economy starts slipping off a precipice, your own sanity starts slipping with it? You want to stop, but you can’t. Because nobody ever leaves.
Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?

Accounting for Derivatives: Advanced Hedging under IFRS 9 (The Wiley Finance Series)
The derivative practitioner’s expert guide to IFRS 9 application
Accounting for Derivatives explains the likely accounting implications of a proposed transaction on derivatives strategy, in alignment with the IFRS 9 standards. Written by a Big Four advisor, this book shares the author’s insights from working with companies to minimise the earnings volatility impact of hedging with derivatives. This second edition includes new chapters on hedging inflation risk and stock options, with new cases on special hedging situations including hedging components of commodity risk. This new edition also covers the accounting treatment of special derivatives situations, such as raising financing through commodity-linked loans, derivatives on own shares and convertible bonds. Cases are used extensively throughout the book, simulating a specific hedging strategy from its inception to maturity following a common pattern. Coverage includes instruments such as forwards, swaps, cross-currency swaps, and combinations of standard options, plus more complex derivatives like knock-in forwards, KIKO forwards, range accruals, and swaps in arrears.
Under IFRS, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting may significantly increase earnings volatility. Compliant application of hedge accounting requires expertise across both the standards and markets, with an appropriate balance between derivatives expertise and accounting knowledge. This book helps bridge the divide, providing comprehensive IFRS coverage from a practical perspective.
- Become familiar with the most common hedging instruments from an IFRS 9 perspective
- Examine FX risk and hedging of dividends, earnings, and net assets of foreign subsidies
- Learn new standards surrounding the hedge of commodities, equity, inflation, and foreign and domestic liabilities
- Challenge the qualification for hedge accounting as the ultimate objective
IFRS 9 is set to replace IAS 39, and many practitioners will need to adjust their accounting policies and hedging strategies to conform to the new standard. Accounting for Derivatives is the only book to cover IFRS 9 specifically for the derivatives practitioner, with expert guidance and practical advice.

Venture Capital Deal Terms: A guide to negotiating and structuring venture capital transactions
So you’re (about to be) involved in a Venture Capital deal. How do you ensure you end up with the best possible deal?You need to know what you’re talking about. Not just on a basic level. On every level. You need to understand the ins and outs of the deal. What are your options? How exactly can they impact you, now as well as in the future? What are the people on the “other side of the table” aiming for? What are the pitfalls?
Only if you truly understand the deal, will you be able to come to the best possible deal. And to truly understand the deal, you need to understand the deal from the perspective of both the investor and the entrepreneur.
This new book of VC investor Harm de Vries and VC lawyers Menno van Loon and Sjoerd Mol, provides an in-depth practical look into venture capital deals. Together, the authors have been involved in hundreds of VC deals. Their expertise covers both the investor’s perspective and the entrepreneur’s perspective.
The book shows you how deal terms work out in practice and explains the economics behind the deal terms. And – crucially – it does so both from the point of view of the entrepreneur as well as that of the investor.
The book starts with an introduction of the investment process in general and the different stages of financing. Next, the book introduces a case study of a Series A financing of a startup. A Series A term sheet is used as the basis for the discussion of the different clauses used in venture capital transactions. Each subsequent chapter discusses a certain type of clause in the term sheet (e.g. milestone investments, liquidation preference, anti-dilution protection, and drag along). These chapters also include a standard (and, if applicable, alternative) version(s) of the relevant clause.
The book includes many examples, as well as negotiation tips for both entrepreneurs and investors. The result is an extremely practical guide to venture capital deals, which will be invaluable to anyone involved in venture capital transactions – investors, entrepreneurs and advisors.
For more information on this book and its authors, please see the book’s website: www.venturecapitaldealterms.com. The special VC Term Sheet Template contained in the book can be downloaded (for free) from the aforementioned website.

Fortune’s Formula: The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting System That Beat the Casinos and Wall Street
In 1956 two Bell Labs scientists discovered the scientific formula for getting rich. One was mathematician Claude Shannon, neurotic father of our digital age, whose genius is ranked with Einstein’s. The other was John L. Kelly Jr., a Texas-born, gun-toting physicist. Together they applied the science of information theory–the basis of computers and the Internet–to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible.
Shannon and MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the Kelly formula to Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenally successful hedge fund, Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett’s rate of return. Fortune’s Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks. It reveals the dark side of this alluring scheme, which is founded on exploiting an insider’s edge.
Shannon believed it was possible for a smart investor to beat the market–and William Poundstone’s Fortune’s Formula will convince you that he was right.
