Chasing the Same Signals by Brian R.Brown

Chasing the Same Signals by Brian R.Brown

Conventional wisdom suggests that markets are efficient, random walks and that stock prices rise and fall with the fundamentals of the company. How then have black-box traders prospered and how do they exploit market inefficiencies? Are their strategies on their last legs or will they adapt to the new landscape amidst the global financial crisis? Also

Chasing the Same Signals is a unique chronicle of the black-box industry’s rise to prominence and their influence on the market place. Also This is not a story about what signals they chase, but rather a story on how they chase and compete for the same signals Also

Technology advances over the past decade have dramatically changed the dynamic world of stock market trading. Most analysts have failed to account for this “brave new world” in their “Monday morning quarterback” analysis of the recent worldwide financial systems collapse. Brian Brown has written the first book that clearly and colorfully describes the new technologically-driven way of doing business on the Street, and he does this with great precision and street knowledge.  This new world played a central role in the Wall Street collapse, and, paradoxically, will help drive the next ascent.

Much has been made of the activities of “High Frequency Traders” during the Global Financial Crisis. In many cases they have been vilified, but often out of ignorance about the vital function that they perform in today’s hyper-speed financial markets. Brian sets out to demystify High Frequency Trading and does so in an eminently readable fashion. This book will appeal to anyone, market professional or not, who wants to understand this often secretive group. Also
