Good information if you’re motivated enough to do your research this is a good book if you do your homework. People here giving bad reviews think the author will give his full blown strategies for free - nobody does that. As with any book in this subject, it adds up to your knowledge but you still need to do the hard work. It does lack some depth though and I wish he could give some more information on cryptocurrencies - this chapter is pretty vague. Overall a good book.

Machine Trading book is an excellent introduction to algorithmic trading. This book is slightly more advanced than Chan's previous two books but it is clearly written and very readable. To get most of this book the reader would benefit from the knowledge of linear algebra, computer programming (scripting), and how the stock market works. As usual the book is accompanied by MATLAB scripts. But beware, the scripts are learning examples, not code you should deploy into production without substantial Machine Trading book is an excellent introduction to algorithmic trading.

Machine Trading had a ton of useful information for me. The first chapter looked at data sources for back-testing trading strategies. There was information about which are the best sites to get data from, which have good APIs, and the costs of these services. It was easy to see that the author had worked with lots of different types of data and vendors. The next few chapters look at analysis using MATLAB as the programming language. The code snippets are well described and fairly easy to understa Machine Trading had a ton of useful information for me. The first chapter looked at data sources for back-testing trading strategies.
