It will help you navigate the world of algorithmic trading and show you how to build a high-frequency trading (HFT) system from complex technological components, supported by accurate data.Starting off with an introduction to HFT, exchanges, and the critical components of a trading system, this book quickly moves on to the nitty-gritty of optimizing hardware and your operating system for low-latency trading, such as bypassing the kernel, memory allocation, and the danger of context switching. As you move beyond the traditional HFT programming languages, such as C++ and Java, you’ll learn how to use Python to achieve high levels of performance.

• And what book on trading is complete without diving into cryptocurrency?

This guide delivers on that front as well, teaching how to perform high-frequency crypto trading with confidence.By the end of this trading book, you’ll be ready to take on the markets with HFT systems.
