Index 191
"Anatoly Schmidt has written an extremely useful book that connects
academic theories of market structure to their practical
implementation on the trading floor. Both groups should benefit
from this conversation. Traders will learn the latest theoretical
models of dealer and order driven markets. Students will better
understand the challenges of producing profitable trading
strategies. Readers interested in learning more about the equity,
bond, and foreign exchange markets are fortunate to have this
comprehensive guide."
--Bruce Mizrach, Associate Professor, Department of Economics,
Rutgers University
"I recommend Financial Markets and Trading as the insider's look
at the structure, practices, and conventions of financial markets,
especially within the OTC wholesale environment. Anatoly Schmidt
does an excellent job in evaluating and applying various
theoretical aspects of creating, testing, and implementing trading
programs within several markets and asset classes. I plan to use
his book in the curriculum of the Financial Engineering Program at
Kent State University."
--John Donato, VP, ICAP PLC; Instructor, Kent State MSFE
Program
"Alec Schmidt has written an excellent textbook that details the
complex workings of 21st-century equity markets. His textbook is
unique in combining the theory and practice of market
microstructure with an extensive, practitioner-oriented treatment
of trading strategies."
