Review: An Excellent Introduction to the Field of HFT - This book gives the reader a broad introduction to the controversial and highly-competitive world of high-frequency trading. It is written in language clear enough for non-technical readers to benefit while dipping sufficiently deep into information technology and trading mathematics to satisfy those seeking more detail on the methods and mechanics involved in HFT. On the other hand, based on comments by other reviewers, it does not appear to satisfy the demands of the top technologists in the field for a magnum opus on the transmutation of C# code into gold. The book is well organized and illustrated with numerous graphs, tables and formulas that facilitate comprehension of the subject matter. Speculators familiar with algorithmic trading may see direct application to their current strategies as implemented on available commercial trading platforms. Professional money managers get a glimpse behind the smokescreen that that shrouds HFT enabling development of risk-mitigation strategies suited to the evolving world of high-frequency trading. Regulatory personnel can familiarize with the terminology, technologies and strategies to ask better informed questions leading the way to effective policies that limit market manipulation while minimizing harmful unintended consequences. As a private speculator with experience programming and operating algorithmic trading systems on somewhat longer timeframes than microseconds, I find Irene Aldridge's "High-Frequency Trading: A Practical Guide to Algorithmic Strategies and Trading Systems" an informative and useful reference book on the subject. Whether or not the shortcomings noted by other reviewers are technically correct they do not detract from the overall value of the material towards a better understanding of the field of high-frequency trading. I rate this book five stars on the basis that it should be on every trader's bookshelf.
Review: Great for Engineers and Quants! - I am a computer engineer and have used this book to improve my trading software. The sections on minimizing market impact and exchange microstructure are invaluable when implementing large scale trading operations. Aldridge does a great job extracting ideas from advanced research papers and making them more digestible. This book is essential for any quant, even if it's just for quick-references. Many of the concepts in this book can also be applied to various asset classes (e.g. commodities, stocks, crypto, etc).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Text
*by D***D on December 9, 2021*

Dear All High Frequency Enthusiasts, This book is an amazing book. There are very few books which impact our wisdom and this is one of them. The author has done an incredible job and she did her best to make sure that people with less mathematical and financial background can understand it without complication. I see from comments that Practitioners also benefitted from this book and to any one else who is just thinking to purchase this incredible book, please don't think just purchase it. I highly recommend it.
