{{a|isda|{{image|pageguide|png|Finding your way around the ISDA Anatomy, for those not minded to work it out for themselves.}}}}Here is the great landing page for the ISDA Master Agreement in all its beautiful articulations. There is a lot of information here: budding ninjas may just be amped up to dive in to the clause table a the bottom. For those seeking a gentler introduction to the world of derivatives — [[financial weapons of mass destruction]] (© Warren Buffett) after all, so to be handled with care — here is a quick overview:

===the [[JC]]’s [[plain English]] ISDA===
Ever thought it would be great to have a summarised, de-pedantified, {{isdama}} in a single place you could read through without feelings of remorse, loathing and an incoming migraine? Fear not! There is one! Here is [[JC]]’s whole, nutshell, [[Nutshell ISDA|plain English ISDA in one place]]!


Okay, and what about a side-by-side summary of the whole ''pain''-English, full ISDA and the JC’s lovely, airy, high fibre, plain-English nutshell summary? Again, [[Side-by-side ISDA and Nutshell|we’ve got you covered]].
===Booklets and whatnot===
We also have anatomies of some — not all — of ISDA’s product booklets and credit support annexes, the most developed of which  (including [[Equity Derivatives Anatomy|Equity Derivatives]] and [[Emissions Annex Anatomy|EU Emissions Allowances]] are in the side-bar on the right under “Anatomies”.
===Introductory material===
What is a [[swap]], as explained to my neighbour Phil. We developed these [[Category:Cut out and keep|cut-out-and-keep]] explainers to help Phil swot for his exams to be a tour guide to the city of London. (He passed!)
Then there’s the [[Swap history|history of the ISDA Master Agreement]] (some of which [[Children of the Woods|we freely admit we made up]]), and long, impassioned and liable-to-fall-upon-deaf-ears screeds about [[Close-out Netting]], the need for [[netting opinions]] [[When variation margin attacks|variation margin]], and various other things.
===[[Financial weapons of mass destruction]]{{tm}} corner===
We are developing our own game of [[FWMD Top Trumps]]. It is what every neurotic millennial needs: Have fun ''and'' fret about forthcoming financial [[oblivion]]!
===The ISDA rabbithole===
Late, for a very important date? Then strap yourselves in, readers...
