Synopsis

The evolution of electronic trading has led to significant changes in the trading business. At the stock exchanges the traditional clerks running across the trading floor with order slips and men in pits negotiating prices have disappeared. Instead, you only see the traders behind their broker screens. Which technical improvements have influenced the development? Which trading technology is widely used for electronic trading? How can big baskets of stocks be sold or purchased without influencing the stock price? The author Björn Schubert gives an introductory insight into the evolution of algorithmic trading. He takes a historical approach to describe the beginning of the technology. The reader becomes aware of the important market participants as well as the necessary technological advancements. Furthermore, the author describes the different algorithmic strategies and the implemented regulatory framework. Finally, the book looks out on the future challenges of the algorithmic trading business. The book presents a worthwhile investment for all traders, market makers, portfolio managers as well as all interested employees in the financial service industry.
