    Thank you! 

    nexus6Thank you all for the encouraging feedback on my Nexus ATS platform.

    I didn’t expect that so many people would contact me about it. Unfortunately, Nexus is a private project and at this point I don’t have the time/resources to turn it into something that I could share.

    Automated Trading Platform Show and Tell 

    There are just not enough hours in a day. I would trade everything I have for more time. I hope someone will soon find a “cure” for death and the need for sleep, I seriously do.

    Lately I have been receiving a lot of emails asking when will Part 3 of my Pragmatic Automated Trading series be published and I would like to apologize for the delay. The truth is that I haven’t had time to start working on it and it might be a while before I get a chance to do so.

    In the meantime, I have gathered a few screenshots of my own private automated trading platform to share with you. It is named Nexus ATS as a homage to Blade Runner’s Nexus 6 (yes, I am a raging nerd).

    The idea is that if you follow my Pragmatic Automated Trading series you should be able to build something similar for yourself – for fun and profit.

    There are a lot of interesting things I can’t share with screenshots alone – like it’s ticker plant, distributed computing engine or world domination modules – but at least you get to look at the pretty charts. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I hope you will enjoy it!

    Don’t forget to read the descriptions or else it might be hard to make sense of what you are looking at ;) .

    Book Recomendation 

    29ecc325538865ed0a797d3b2a9d5103I would like to recommend a book for all those interested in a straight-to-the-point introduction to the business of automated/quantitative trading. I wouldn’t be able to name a book that does a better job at laying down the basics as Ernest Chan’s Quantitative Trading. In fact, his books cover many topics I had planned for my own Pragmatic Automated Trading series.

    While quantitative trading isn’t the most approachable topic (too much academia and too little pratical information) – Ernest does a great job at breaking down a few core concepts into digestible pieces. If you need a place to get started, do youself a favor and order your copy now.
