Review the book briefly
Reviews
Many people associate liquidity aggregators with a metaphor of a switchman. The devil is always in the details, and simplifying can cost you millions. Most underestimate the degree of complexity, as well as the risks associated with numerous moving parts. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the algorithms and their processes. Take a look at what you should expect if you decide to engage with a liquidity aggregator. In this book, several atypical execution scenarios are detailed in great detail. The authors and the whole Devexperts team deserve accolades for their efforts!
The book gives Forex professionals a unique opportunity to look under the hood of perhaps the most complex module in the “risk management” mechanism. This knowledge gives the risk manager superiority in both day-to-day operations and in the selection of counterparts. And those who want to implement order-sweeping algorithms do not need to reinvent the wheel, but rather refer to Devexperts for a straightforward, academic implementation.
Sometimes you need to better understand how execution works rather than just its principles and ideas. The book gives you these lenses, it gives you a set of examples that are equivalent to open sourcing the actual algorithms. Except you don’t need to be a coder to grasp it.
