    Hi tradetwo!

    It looks we both are "newbies" here (at least based on post-count :) ). A good book on the subject seems to be: "Algorithmic Trading and DMA" by Barry Johnson. I have not read it myself, but it has some fairly decent reviews on Amazon.

    A book that has not been published yet, but looks promising is: "An Introduction to Algorithmic Trading: Basic to Advanced Strategies" by Leshik and Cralle.

    But, as you, I would definitely want to hear what the seasoned pros here recommends.

    Haha! Wow you guys. This was pretty obvious. You can do better than this.
     
  4. 99% of trading books suck

    only about 80% of programming books suck.

    Lesson - spend more money looking for good programming books.

    Hi Rosy2!

    Personally, I would want to get to know more about both - but choosing between the two; I guess I would choose the technical part.
