From the Inside Flap

By some estimates, quantitative (or algorithmic) trading now accounts for over one-third of trading volume in the United States. While institutional traders continue to implement this highly effective approach, many independent traders—with limited resources and less computing power—have wondered if they can still challenge powerful industry professionals at their own game? The answer is "yes," and in Quantitative Trading, author Dr. Ernest Chan, a respected independent trader and consultant, will show you how.

Whether you're an independent "retail" trader looking to start your own quantitative trading business or an individual who aspires to work as a quantitative trader at a major financial institution, this practical guide contains the information you need to succeed.

Organized around the steps you should take to start trading quantitatively, this book skillfully addresses how to:

Find a viable trading strategy that you're both comfortable with and confident in

Backtest your strategy—with MATLAB®, Excel, and other platforms—to ensure good historical performance

Build and implement an automated trading system to execute your strategy

Scale up or wind down your strategies depending on their real-world profitability

Manage the money and risks involved in holding positions generated by your strategy

Incorporate advanced concepts that most professionals use into your everyday trading activities

And much more

While Dr. Chan takes the time to outline the essential aspects of turning quantitative trading strategies into profits, he doesn't get into overly theoretical or sophisticated theories. Instead, he highlights the simple tools and techniques you can use to gain a much-needed edge over today's institutional traders.
