Algorithmic Trading

Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Praise for Algorithmic TRADING “Algorithmic Trading is an insightful book on quantitative trading written by a seasoned practitioner. What sets this book apart from many others in the space is the emphasis on real examples as opposed to just theory. Concepts are not only described, they are brought to life with actual trading strategies, which give the reader insight into how and why each strategy was developed, how it was implemented, and even how it was coded. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to create their own systematic trading strategies and those involved in manager selection, where the knowledge contained in this book will lead to a more informed and nuanced conversation with managers.” —DAREN SMITH, CFA, CAIA, FSA, Managing Director, Manager Selection & Portfolio Construction, University of Toronto Asset Management “Using an excellent selection of mean reversion and momentum strategies, Ernie explains the rationale behind each one, shows how to test it, how to improve it, and discusses implementation issues. His book is a careful, detailed exposition of the scientific method applied to strategy development. For serious retail traders, I know of no other book that provides this range of examples and level of detail. His discussions of how regime changes affect strategies, and of risk management, are invaluable bonuses.” —ROGER HUNTER, Mathematician and Algorithmic Trader

Smiley-Man Chronicles
Author: Jeff Harris
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595344755
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Smiley-Man Chronicles is the true story and reminiscences of Michael Mulholland, Tahni Jones, Eddy Boros, Kevin Donnelly, the Lefty Jones Band, Edwardo, Pancho Rosie, et al. Technically your author has been more of an archivist and editor than story-teller. He has also tried to hold the price down on this volume so that it will not cost you too much--either spiritually or financially. It reads easily in order, or out, and is about going to the moon, literally & figuratively. Though parts are fiction, the chronicles are largely non-fiction, and they are dedicated to both Nathan Harris, who gave your author everything, and Tahni Jones, who told his sister Georgi shortly before he died that he had been "playing life by ear." Reviews: "Essential reading...a tour de force!" --Stewart Allen, author The Devil's Cup, In the Devil's Garden "I couldn't have written a better book without dropping out of school...." --Saul Fisher, Ph.D. "Thank God for The Lefty Jones Band...long live the Smiley-Man Chronicles..." --Andy Malm, Drummer, Lefty Jones Band "This book is serious fun, thoughtful, and revolutionary." --Nina Feldman, President, Sweet Bella. "Totally original...ground-breaking." --Walter White, Bassist, Lefty Jones Band. "Unmarketable and brilliant." --Errol McDonald, Editor, Random House.

Book Description
"Welcome, dear reader, to the wild and wacky world of Creeperella and her merry band of mischievous monsters. This isn't just any ordinary tale of monsters lurking in the dark corners; oh no, this is a story brimming with laughter, adventure, and a sprinkle of sheer madness. Nestled in the heart of the mysterious Misty Mountains, Creeperella and her eclectic crew of nine monsters have made quite a name for themselves. Our star, Creeperella, is a master of drama, with her vine-like hair and shape-shifting abilities, always ready to add a bit of flair to any situation. Whether she's rolling her eyes at Gigglefang's antics or tripping over her own feet while planning pranks, Creeperella ensures there's never a dull moment. But Creeperella isn't the only showstopper here. Let me introduce you to the gang. First, we have Nyaka, the fur-changing diva with a profound dislike for vets. With her ever-changing colours and fiercely independent streak, Nyaka is a walking, talking mood ring. Then there's Gigglefang, the furry creature with oversized fangs and a laugh so infectious it could make a grumpy goblin giggle. And who could forget the ever-clumsy Blunderbuss? This gentle giant may trip over rocks and knock over obstacles, but his heart is as big as his feet. Adding to the mix is Wobblewomp, the gooey blob who loves dancing and bouncy castles, and the lightning-fast Zippityzap, always leaving a trail of sparks in his wake. We also have Snickerdoodle, the tiny winged trickster with a fondness for sparkling sugar cubes, and Fizzlebop, the bubbly monster with a body made of fizzy soda. His biggest fear? Flat drinks, naturally. Rounding out the crew is Mumblegrumble, the grumpy monster with a secret love for fun, and Tiddlywink, the bold little adventurer who can shrink and grow at will. Each chapter of "Creeperella and Nine Mischievous Monsters" takes you on a whirlwind journey through the lives of these delightful creatures. From Nyaka's vet aversion and Gigglefang's legendary pranks to Blunderbuss's hilarious mishaps, this book is packed with laughter, surprises, and a lot of heart. Prepare to be enchanted by the escapades of Grumble the Grumbler, a master of the art of moaning and groaning, whose love for food rivals even the most dedicated gourmands. From his grand feasts to the heroic rescue of Fluffins from the clutches of the wicked Hagatha, Grumble's tales are sure to tickle your taste buds and your funny bone. Join us as we dive into the chaotic yet heart-warming world of Creeperella and her quirky companions. Whether it's a puddle-jumping contest on a rainy day or a daring adventure to uncover hidden treasures, one thing's for sure – with this motley crew, there's never a dull moment. So sit back, relax, and get ready to laugh out loud as you embark on this unforgettable journey with Creeperella and her nine mischievous monsters."
