Summary: Extraordinary Financial Resource!
Comment: This is an excellent financial resource for the seasoned professional or enthusiastic student. The book is the first of its kind to address finance and investing from the point of view of the trader.

It widely known that improper implementation of an investment decision can negate much of a manager's anticipated alpha, but how exactly should managers examine the set of potential implementation schemes? The solution to this question is the primary focus of Optimal Trading Strategies. The authors provide a very thorough investigation of transaction costs (e.g. when, where, and why they arise) and continue with an easy-to-understand analytical process to estimate, manage, and control those costs. The authors' approach to developing these "optimal trading strategies" also turns out to be the basis for achieving "best execution." The net result to managers is higher returns. I highly recommend this reference for anyone interested in understanding all aspects of finance and investment theory, and it makes a wonderful complement to graduate level texts.

Rating: 5
Summary: A worthy read for investment professionals.
Comment: Ever since Datek took advantage of the Small Order Execution System and made day-trading popular, every day people have been looking for a sensible way to make money trading stocks.
They are now learning the tools that large investment companies have been using for years. Every basis point counts.

Anybody interested in Program Trading needs to read this book.
I cannot recommend this more highly, and this comes from a comlpetely unbiased review of an excellent book.
