New
York City, NY, USA (August 2, 2013) -- Edgar Perez, the
celebrated author of The Speed Traders
(http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com)
and global speaker on the topics of high-frequency trading (HFT) and
investing, is proud to introduce his newest title, Knightmare on Wall
Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for
Financial Markets, exclusively available at www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com.
A
thrilling minute-by-minute account of the terrifying hours following
the August 1, 2012 trading debacle, with news-breaking research
regarding Knight Capital's 17 years of tumultuous existence as an
independent company, Knightmare on Wall Street is a behind-the-scenes
look at the rise and fall of Knight Capital.
Reviews
for Perez's first title, The Speed Traders were overwhelmingly
positive. "The Speed Traders offers cutting-edge intelligence on
the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency Trading. The
substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough
interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT.
Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting
its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down
the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT
will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly,
walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high
frequency traders."
"The
interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry
understandable. The first person narrative is key because it's easy
to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many
reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose
strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT
industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders
that actually know what they are talking about. Readers searching for
break-through information on HFT have met their match because The
Speed Traders is in a class of its own. Its exceptionally designed
equilibrium between fleshed-out mentorship and historical HFT
knowledge delivers core comprehension of a challenging topic."
