Praise for Quantitative Trading

"As technology has evolved, so has the ease in developing trading strategies. Ernest Chan does all traders, current and prospective, a real service by succinctly outlining the tremendous benefits, but also some of the pitfalls, in utilizing many of the recently implemented quantitative trading techniques."
—PETER BORISH, Founding Partner, Tudor Investment Corporation

"Dr. Ernest Chan provides an optimal framework for strategy development, back-testing, risk management, programming knowledge, and real-time system implementation to develop and run an algorithmic trading business step by step in Quantitative Trading."
—YASER ANWAR, trader

"Quantitative systematic trading is a challenging field that has always been shrouded in mystery, seemingly too difficult to master by all but an elite few. In this honest and practical guide, Dr. Chan highlights the essential cornerstones of a successful automated trading operation and shares lessons he learned the hard way while offering clear direction to steer readers away from common traps that both individual and institutional traders often succumb to."
—ROSARIO M. INGARGIOLA, CTO, Alphacet, Inc.

"This book provides valuable insight into how private investors can establish a solid structure for success in algorithmic trading. Ernie's extensive hands-on experience in building trading systems is invaluable for aspiring traders who wish to take their knowledge to the next level."
—RAMON CUMMINS, private investor

"Out of the many books and articles on quantitative trading that I've read over the years, very few have been of much use at all. In most instances, the authors have no real knowledge of the subject matter, or do have something important to say but are unwilling to do so because of fears of having trade secrets stolen. Ernie subscribes to a different credo: Share meaningful information and have meaningful interactions with the quantitative community at large. Ernie successfully distills a large amount of detailed and difficult subject matter down to a very clear and comprehensive resource for novice and pro alike."
—STEVE HALPERN, founder, HCC Capital, LLC
