A straightforward guide to the mathematics of algorithmic trading that reflects cutting-edge research.

Recenzje

'This textbook is a welcome addition to the literature on algorithmic trading and the high-frequency markets. It fills a significant gap by bringing cutting-edge mathematical models to bear on the analysis and implementation of practical algorithms. Using a unique blend of microstructure theory, financial data analysis, and mathematical models, the authors walk the reader through the maze of the high-frequency markets, detailing how the exchanges work, and what kind of data they generate. Trading algorithms and their practical implementations are described in easy-to-understand prose, and illustrated with enlightening simulations. This text is ideal for graduate students and researchers in financial mathematics and engineering, as well as for practitioners already working in the field.' René Carmona, Princeton University
