Description
Over the next few years, the proprietary trading and hedge fund industries will migrate largely to automated trade selection and execution
systems. Indeed, this is already happening. While several finance books provide C++ code for pricing derivatives and performing numerical
calculations, none approaches the topic from a system design perspective. This book will be divided into two sections?programming techniques
and automated trading system ( ATS ) technology?and teach financial system design and development from the absolute ground up using Microsoft
Visual C++.NET 2005. MS Visual C++.NET 2005 has been chosen as the implementation language primarily because most trading firms and
large banks have developed and continue to develop their proprietary algorithms in ISO C++ and Visual C++.NET provides the greatest flexibility
for incorporating these legacy algorithms into working systems. Furthermore, the .NET Framework and development environment provide
the best libraries and tools for rapid development of trading systems.
The first section of the book explains Visual C++.NET 2005 in
detail and focuses on the required programming knowledge for automated trading system development, including object oriented design,
delegates and events, enumerations, random number generation, timing and timer objects, and data management with STL.NET and .NET collections.
Furthermore, since most legacy code and modeling code in the financial markets is done in ISO C++, this book looks in depth at several
advanced topics relating to managed/unmanaged/COM memory management and interoperability. Further, this book provides dozens of examples
illustrating the use of database connectivity with ADO.NET and an extensive treatment of SQL and FIX and XML/FIXML. Advanced programming
topics such as threading, sockets, as well as using C++.NET to connect to Excel are also discussed at length and supported by examples.
The second section of the book explains technological concerns and design concepts for automated trading systems. Specifically, chapters
are devoted to handling real-time data feeds, managing orders in the exchange order book, position selection, and risk management. A
.dll is included in the book that will emulate connection to a widely used industry API ( Trading Technologies, Inc.?s XTAPI ) and provide
ways to test position and order management algorithms. Design patterns are presented for market taking systems based upon technical
analysis as well as for market making systems using intermarket spreads.
As all of the chapters revolve around computer programming
for financial engineering and trading system development, this book will educate traders, financial engineers, quantitative analysts,
students of quantitative finance and even experienced programmers on technological issues that revolve around development of financial
applications in a Microsoft environment and the construction and implementation of real-time trading systems and tools.
Audience
Primary audience: financial engineers, quantitative analysts, programmers in trading companies; graduate students in financial engineering and financial markets courses and programs.
