Riassunto

A hands-on guide to high frequency trading strategies and models

Accounting for over sixty percent of stock market trading volume and generating huge profits for a small number of firms, high frequency trading is one of the most talked about topics in the world of finance. Given the success of this approach, many firms are quickly beginning to implement their own high frequency strategies.

In High Frequency Trading Models, Dr. Gewei Ye describes the technology, architecture, and algorithms underlying current high frequency trading models, which exploit order flow imbalances and temporary pricing inefficiencies. Along the way, he explains how to develop a HFT trading system and introduces you to his own system for building high frequency strategies based on behavioral algorithms.

• Discusses how to improve current institutional HFT strategies and suggests directions for new strategies
• Companion Website includes algorithms and models discussed throughout the book
• Covers essential topics in this field, including rebate trading, arbitrage, flash trading, and other types of trading

Engaging and informative, High Frequency Trading Models is a must-read for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve in this hot new area.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Accounting for over 60 percent of equity trading volume and generating huge profits for a number of firms, high-frequency trading is one of the most talked about topics in the world of finance. Given the success of this approach, many institutions and individuals are looking for ways to make high-frequency trading work for them.

In High-Frequency Trading Models, Dr. Gewei Ye describes the technology, architecture, and algorithms (algos) underlying current high-frequency trading models, which exploit order flow imbalances and temporary pricing inefficiencies. Along the way, he explains how to develop a high-frequency trading system and introduces you to his own system for building high-frequency strategies based on behavioral algos.

Divided into four comprehensive parts, this timely guide:

• Describes the fundamental revenue models of high-frequency trading

• Introduces a series of theoretical models—behavioral, financial, and quantitative—for building unique investment strategies for high-frequency trading

• Develops a unique set of computer algos, called Sentiment Asset Pricing Engine (SAPE), to automate the process of building behavioral strategies for high-frequency trading and portfolio management

• Discusses the potential of new revenue models in derivatives with high-frequency trading systems and the creation of computer algos for high-frequency trading

To help solidify your understanding of the information found here, the author's Web site, Yeswici.com, contains ancillary materials of the models and computer algos mentioned throughout this book. Yeswici.com is also a quantitative modeling and computing platform for innovative investment research, which transfers this research into Internet and mobile applications.

High-frequency trading has quickly become a profitable path in today's market. With the proliferation of computing power and algos, this approach will only continue to grow. Engaging and informative, High-Frequency Trading Models will help you stay ahead of the¿curve in this hot new area and put you in a better position to capture consistent profits along the way.
