The Science of Algorithmic Trading and Portfolio Management

Its emphasis on algorithmic trading processes and current trading models sets this book apart from others.  As the first author to discuss algorithmic trading across the various asset classes, Robert Kissell provides key insights into ways to develop, test, and build trading algorithms.  He summarizes market structure, the formation of prices, and how different participants interact with one another, including bluffing, speculating, and gambling. He shows readers the underlying details and mathematics required to develop, build, and test customized algorithms, providing them with advanced modeling techniques to improve profitability through algorithmic trading and appropriate risk management techniques.  The accompanying website includes examples, data sets underlying exercises in the book, and large projects.  Readers learn how to evaluate market impact models and assess performance across algorithms, traders, and brokers, as well as acquiring the ability to implement electronic trading systems.

During his college years, Dr. Kissell was a member of the Stony Brook Soccer Team and was Co-Captain in his Junior and Senior years. It was during this time as a student athlete where he began applying math and statistics to sports modeling problems. Many of the techniques discussed in “Optimal Sports Math, Statistics, and Fantasy were developed during his time at Stony Brook, and advanced thereafter. Thus, making this book the byproduct of decades of successful research.

Dr. Kissell has a Ph.D. in Economics from Fordham University, an MS in Applied Mathematics from Hofstra University, an MS in Business Management from Stony Brook University, and a BS in Applied Mathematics & Statistics from Stony Brook University.
