The Ingredients Necessary for Trading Success
The title of the book is quite misleading because none of the strategies mentioned in the book are “proved” to be consistently profitable at all. I am actually quite disappointed with the book. Do not recommend it.

A good introduction to algorithmic trading. It is a guided tour of the algorithmic trading world. It is packed with information if you have the prerequisite background to understand the lingos used in the book. Lacking either one of the two background knowledges, programming / order routing (the technical side) and firm trading, will make it difficult to understand this book. Only recommending this book to those who are interested in the subject with at least one of the prerequisites.

Must read for those who are interested in understanding market crashes and macro trading. Not as useful for those whose trading or investing time horizon within a week or so. Overall a good book to keep as a reference.
