Description
Solid book on real systematic trading. Rob goes into a level of depth which most trading book authors either deliberately avoids or simply lack knowledge of. Rob’s background in the industry is beyond reproach and the informational contents of his book shows his experience and depth of knowledge. It is rare with authors willing to take the time to explain at this level… If you want to enter the professional systematic trading field, Rob’s book is a must. –-Andreas Clenow, CIO Acies Asset Management and author of ‘Following The Trend’
There are many books on trading. However, very few deal with answering the practicalities, which very often you have to learn from years of experience when trading. This book does answer many of those practical questions! … Robert had very valuable experience working for many years in a large quant hedge fund, which makes the book doubly worth reading… Well worth a read for anyone who trades, in particular for systematic traders (whether you’re a novice or more experienced)! –Saeed Amen, author of ‘Trading Thalesians’
Rob Carver is a seasoned professional investment manager and this book will give you the benefit of his experience. The key strength of the book is to show you how to put together a portfolio of quantitative trading strategies without losing your shirt… The book motivates well, using ideas from behavioral finance, why it is that trading strategies can be profitable year in year out. The author has some nice anecdotes to tell on this… this is an excellent book and a good buy for anyone interested in quantitative trading. –Steve Bell, author of ‘Quantitative Finance for Dummies’
