If you want to be a competitive swimmer, you need to learn the fundamentals of swimming first. Trading is no different; Ernie makes the fundamentals as simple as possible, but no simpler (as Einstein would say) and strikes the perfect balance between intuition and technical depth. Those specifically interested in trading, and anyone generally interested in understanding how modern financial markets work, will benefit from reading the \u003ci\u003eSecond Edition of Quantitative Trading\u003c\/i\u003e.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--CRAIG BETTS, \u003c\/b\u003e mathematician and Founder, Solace \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As technology has evolved, so has the ease in developing trading strategies. Ernest Chan does all traders, current and prospective, a real service by succinctly outlining the tremendous benefits, but also some of the pitfalls, in utilizing many of the recently implemented quantitative trading techniques.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--PETER BORISH, \u003c\/b\u003e Chairman and CEO, Computer Trading Corporation; Founding Partner, Tudor Investment Corporation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Out of the many books and articles on quantitative trading that I've read over the years, very few have been of much use at all. In most instances, the authors have no real knowledge of the subject matter or do have something important to say but are unwilling to do so because of fears of having trade secrets stolen. Ernie subscribes to a different credo: Share meaningful information and have meaningful interactions with the quantitative community at large. Ernie successfully distills a large amount of detailed and difficult subject matter down to a very clear and comprehensive resource for novice and pro alike.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--STEVE HALPERN, \u003c\/b\u003e Founder, HCC Capital, LLC \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Often the hardest part of getting started is simply knowing what questions to ask. This holds especially true for fields like quantitative trading, which are shrouded in mystery and protected by impenetrable jargon. Readers of this book will not only learn the foundations of research and strategy development, but also gain pragmatic insight into the operational sides of the business. Ernie has written the ideal guide for those looking to go from zero-to-one in their quantitative trading journey.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--COREY HOFFSTEIN, \u003c\/b\u003e Co-founder and CIO, Newfound Research \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eERNEST P.
