This book tackles the concepts, technical architecture, recent developments, and future opportunities in the new field of "direct access" electronic markets. The author provides a comprehensive coverage of electronic market models, exchange platforms and networks, while describing ways in which professional electronic traders make money.
Professional Electronic Trading is one of the few books that deals directly with the issues that industry professionals confront every day, making it an ideal reference and training tool.
David James Norman (Chicago, IL) is Director of Electronic Markets Development at the Center for Law and Financial Markets at IIT.
New technology and the advent of electronic trading have opened the floodgates to both foreign and domestic markets. Traders need the wisdom of industry veterans and the vision of innovators in today's volatile financial marketplace. The Wiley Trading series features books by traders who have survived the market's ever changing temperament and have prospered - some by reinventing systems, others by getting back to basics. Whether a novice trader, professional or somewhere in-between, these books will provide the advice and strategies that are needed to succeed today as well as in the future.

Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is not worth buying. It's worthless.
Comment: The book is for general information. It's over priced and gives no explanation on "how to" setup electronic trading. This book is basically worthless.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worth the money
Comment: This book was a huge disappointment and not worth the money I paid for it. The text is mostly an unstructured collection of historical and often outdated facts about the development of electronic exchanges. It barely touches on onlly a few aspects of the subject but without any structure, depth or valuable insight. The author's anecdotal style of writing does not do justice to what is a very interesting and challenging subject. Not recommended for serious industry professionals.

Summary: Big disappointment
Comment: I bought a used copy of this book at %30 discount, and I still think it was not worth the money.
The book is very hard to read, the author puts his personal opinions all over the place very frequently and presents them as facts. Moreover, the content is also all over the place, on one page you are reading about the deep details of IP address formats, a few pages later you encounter the author's opinion about the way oriental people work, and then you read about why so-and-so project failed in 1970s, etc.
Most of the bits and pieces of information are related to Chicago Merchantile exchange. The book is full of acronyms, you need to go to the index page at the end of the book to figure out what they mean, yet the explanations in the index sometimes lead to even further confusion.
I work in the finance industry, developing trading applications. In my opinion, there are a whole lot of other books that you can better use your time on.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read for market professionals.
Comment: This book is absolutely a must read for anyone who wants to succeed in tomorrow's totally-electronic trading environment. Like it or not, technology is the future of trading and the sooner you learn about it the better.
