Paperback. In the world of High-Frequency Trading, nanoseconds separate the profitable from the obsolete. Which side of the trade are you on? Standard C++ practices and traditional operating system architectures are not fast enough for modern financial markets. Every cache miss, context switch, and kernel interrupt adds latency that degrades trading performance. To compete at the highest level, you must strip away the abstractions and engineer your system to work in perfect harmony with the bare metal. Architecting HFT Systems in Modern C++ is a definitive, hands-on guide to building ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure. This book bridges the gap between theoretical computer science and the brutal realities of production trading systems. You will learn how to bypass the kernel entirely, design lock-free memory structures, and write code that executes consistently in under a microsecond. Whether you are a quantitative developer, a systems architect, or a senior C++ engineer looking to enter the algorithmic trading industry, this book provides the exact blueprints used by top-tier proprietary trading firms. What You Will Learn Inside: The Machine and The Backbone: Master CPU topology, NUMA architecture, and core isolation. Build custom monotonic arena allocators and replace standard memory management to completely eliminate allocation delays in the hot path.Lock-Free Concurrency: Construct Single-Producer, Single-Consumer (SPSC) ring buffers from first principles. Understand acquire/release semantics and memory ordering to handle backpressure without ever blocking.Kernel Bypass Networking: Implement DPDK and io_uring to process data precisely where Direct Memory Access (DMA) places it, achieving zero-copy packet reception and transmission.Wire-Speed Ingestion: Decode complex binary protocols (FIX/FAST, ITCH, OUCH) using template-driven deserialization, branchless field extraction, and SIMD instructions.Zero-Allocation Order Books: Design price-level structures that fit entirely within L1 cache and update in under 50 nanoseconds.The Decision and Execution Layer: Build a zero-virtual-call callback architecture for trading strategies, implement hardware-efficient risk gates, and manage order lifecycles with compile-time validation.Deterministic Simulation and Testing: Ensure absolute reliability through full-pipeline PCAP replay, bit-reproducible runs, and memory-mapped asynchronous logging.You cannot afford to rely on generic software design patterns when money is on the line. Stop losing trades to system overhead. Get your copy today and learn how to engineer systems that execute faster than the competition. This item is printed on demand.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
