A series of linked stories that follows Tom Fielding through thirty years on the trading floor. From Black Wednesday in 1992 to today.
Tom's career spans the greatest financial crises of recent history. Each story centres around a financial crisis: the bursting of sterling's currency peg, the Asian contagion, the collapse of dot coms, the credit crisis of 2008, and more.
Each event is real. The market mechanics are real. Tom Fielding is not. He and his cohorts however do react to real markets, to real institutional failures and to very human consequences of events experienced by a thirty-five year market practitioner.
This is not a who, what, when and why happened of financial crises. This is a chronological series of episodes where the inner workings of the financial machine are glimpsed for an instant - in a falling peg, a frozen money market or a thirty minute currency move - and then snaps shut.
What you will read is what it felt like to be there when that happened.
If you enjoy fiction based around real market mechanics and how organisations really react when under pressure, then read on to see how the financial machine really works - from the inside.
Eleven stories. Twenty-eight years. One trader's view of how markets collapse.
