Trades, Quotes and Prices: Financial Markets Under the Microscope 1st Edition

🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Perfect 👌🏽 thank youuuu🙏🏼

A terrific book written by academics steeped in practice that describes how the real-time activity at the micro-level of financial markets shapes outcomes at higher levels. Given how much attention is paid to asset prices, it is quite useful to shed an empirical, data-driven light on the market dynamics that produce the fluctuations we observe. Key message is that current prices are fleeting given how impactful subsequent transactions will be.

I found the section on the Sante Fe model for managing LOBs particularly interesting.

My congratulations to Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and his co-authors for a wonderful and authoritative work on market structure and trading. I am especially impressed by the application of models in physics to understand the dynamics of financial markets. I look forward to a second edition that also covers fixed income and exchange-traded funds; both are growing in importance and have their own unique features that require new models and paradigms. Well done on an essential read for practitioners and academics!

in some cases, when authors can't achieve usefulness or their exposition, it could be a sign that references are really only packed with the value .
