Excellent subject and frustrating contents

I remember I was so excited when this book was published. I read it in few sessions. But overall, I was disapointed: the book is short (around 150 pages) with a lot of pages containing programming code, the font is big and double spaced.

In term of substance, I did not learn anything about quantitative trading. Maybe, the book can be interesting for programmers who want to dive into finance. In this case, it is just an eye opener: quantitative trading exists.

Okay, you get a plan to settle your trading business. But it is pretty obvious according to me.

Too bad, I would have loved a good book about this subject.

Accessible intro to building an algo trading business

As an outsider to the algo trading business, it's hard for me to comment in a informed way as to whether this book is just a good read or a useful actionable guide. But for what I read it offers a clear process to starting out on the journey to creating a quant trading business.

An enjoyable read with some interesting insights.
