Amid the recent turmoil in the financial markets, there is still a sector of the financial services industry where there is stiff competition. And that sector is the Exchange sector i.e. stock exchanges, futures exchanges and so on.
In recent times, NASDAQ OMX Europe and Project Turquoise and Chi-X have launched Multi-Lateral Trading Facilities (MTF) as MiFID allows stocks to be traded on exchanges other than the one in which they are listed. These MTFs will facilitate "best execution" in high volume securities as well as offer order routing and global pricing across the European continent.
These developments will augur well for the discerning IT professionals with the business knowledge of trading and the workings of exchanges. "Business Knowledge for IT in Trading and Exchanges" is a complete handbook that IT professionals need to gain an understanding of the business of trading and exchanges.
This book contains the customary twelve chapters that characterise the predecessors to this book in the hugely popular Bizle Professionals Series. The first chapter provides an overview of the trading and exchanges industry including discussions of interesting concepts such as insider trading, trading sessions and business models for the stock exchange industry.
Chapter 2 discusses the trading activities across different asset classes from equities to bonds. The next chapter, Chapter 3 contains information on the different types of orders used in trading financial products. Chapters 4 and 5 contain information on the business environment while chapter 5 discuses trends in trading and exchanges.
Chapter 6 is about liquidity and volatility and the next chapter, chapter 7 offers detailed explanation of the concept of arbitrage. Electronic and algorithmic trading are discussed in chapter 8 and sets the scene for the IT-specific section of the book.
The common systems used in trading and exchanges are discussed in chapter 9 while chapter 10 discusses the IT projects that could be executed in the trading as well as in exchanges. Infrastructure optimisation and cloud computing are discussed in this chapter and interesting case studies are included to illustrate the application of these concepts.
The last two chapters, chapters 11 and 12, contain a list of common terminology used in trading as well as exchanges and the future of trading and exchanges respectively.
Contributors to this book include NASDAQ OMX, Intel, Horizon Software, Ullink, SunGard, Progress Software and more.
