Quantitative Trading

The business of algorithmic trading was an activity once reserved only for traders at hedge funds or the proprietary trading operations of financial institutions. Not so anymore, demonstrates Ernie Chan, a prop trader and blogger who runs the quantitative trading blog site, http://epchan.blogspot.com. Chan shows investors how to use Excel and MatLab to build their own algo trading tools using a budget even a home day trader can afford, and then shows investors how to conduct quantitative research and analysis, and turn quantitative trading strategies into profits using stocks, ETFs, futures, and other financial instruments. Chan will also provide downloadable spreadsheets that tie into material covered in the book.Â
