Inside the Black Box – A Simple Guide to Quantitative and High-Frequency Trading

2013, 336 pages, by Rishi K. Narang

It is a very interesting and deep book about the current market practices and all about Quants and High-Frequency trading.

Obviously that the author, being closely related and worked (ing) with Quants and HFT firms, will defend the importance and the “benefits” of those into the stock markets everywhere. So, read with this word of caution…

That said, you will learn:

• What is a Quant and what type of trading strategies they use.
• Alpha models.
• Risk models.
• Transaction Cost models.
• Portfolio models.
• Execution algorithms.
• Data handling and filtering.
• Risks.
• HFT trading.

If you want to know more about all those subjects, this is a great book. Totally recommended!

If you like my true honesty in reviewing the books I read and would like me to read and review a book that is on your radar but you are reluctant to spend that amount of money, let me know… On the other side of the Moon, I will really appreciate it if you purchase a book that you loved through my Amazon Links, that way I can purchase all the books (good and bad) to review for you guys…
