5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommended, 26 Sep 2007
By M. Rask "financial technology expert" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been following developments in algorithmic trading for many years now and consider myself an insider in the area. I find this book the first and only which describes some of the industry's key conspects such as value VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), Implementation shortfall, direct market access (DMA), to mention only a few.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a first feel in this exciting new field.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to this market., 27 Jan 2009
By John Coleman (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent introduction to many aspects of institutional algorithmic trading. There are many facts and figures which would be of interest to people who need to know about how algorithmic trading happens and the institutions that do it.

The book would be more of interest to managers and those new to the business, and is not, on the whole, technical.

At under 200 pages I think it might better be called a concise guide.
