The futures and options bible from the world's first, and America's largest,
futures exchange
Through nine editions over three decades, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) has
provided futures and options traders with the self-published Commodity Trading Manual. Now
the CBOT has entered into an exclusive agreement with McGraw-Hill to bring you this vital
book. The Chicago Board of Trade Handbook of Futures and Options delivers valuable
information on everything from the uses and purposes of the futures market to
nuts-and-bolts descriptions of day-to-day exchange operations.
The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was established in 1848. With more
than sixty different products, including futures and futures-options on U.S. Treasury
bonds and notes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other innovative new contracts such
as ethanol, South American soybeans and electronically traded gold and silver, no other
exchange matches the diversity of commodity and financial products. The CBOT's fully
integrated exchange offers the liquidity, capital efficiencies, diverse products and
industry safeguards that the marketplace demands. Its electronic trading engine and
clearing process provides customers with increased speed, enhanced functionality and lower
transaction costs. With record breaking volume of nearly 600 million contracts in 2004,
the Chicago Board of Trade provides transparent markets for price discovery and risk
management needs.
