Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners 1st Edition

This book takes you into the trading world, explaining who the people are, the markets they use, and the rules that control how everything works. It introduces all the different kinds of people who trade: investors who make money, brokers and dealers who help with trades, arbitrageurs who look for price differences, and regular retail and day traders. It also talks about more extreme types like rogue traders and risk-takers who gamble.

The book explains the various places where trading happens, from big exchanges and dealer groups to ECNs, crossing markets, and even pink sheet platforms.
You’ll learn how different types of orders—like market, limit, and stop orders—work, and how auctions and brokered markets operate behind the scenes.

The author also covers more advanced topics like program trading, large block trades, and short selling.
Readers will get a clear understanding of the main rules that guide trading, such as price priority, time priority, public order rules, and display rules. The book doesn’t avoid tough topics either, like insider trading, scalping, bluffing, and the difference between investing, speculating, and gambling. In short, it gives a full, easy-to-understand look at how trading really works.
