The good:Deals with reality of electronic and fragmented markets: Liquidity estimate from pre-trade transparency is not deterministic.A balanced look at fragmentation (Europe), a careful study of liquidity beyond bid-ask spreads, tick sizes and competition.HFT seen as business model and part of fragmented system, with positive and negative consequences (not as moral judgement).Good studies with real data from Cheuvreaux; coverage is quite up-to-date (5/9)The bad:Coverage of fragmentation in the US is sparse; not much about behaviour in ms or secondsThe ugly:Problems with charts: Fig 1.14 is not what it should be, 2.12a points cannot be distinguished as they should.Some charts (like 2.8 b) are hard to read because they’re printed as black x dark gray lines (8/9)Conclusion: “Market Microstructure in Practice” is worth buying for what it says and for the references
This is a must read for people working on electronic market making, execution algo, quant trading... This book is quiet unique in its genre and provide a real insight on how price formation occurs and about the state of electronic trading nowadays. The focus is highly on fragmentation but people working on a market that is not fragmented will still find some interesting content.Charles-Albert Lehalle has the buy and sell side practitioner experience that most of people writing books/articles on this subject do not have.
This is a really enlightening book - providing practical insight into micro-structure and optimal trading. It's full of good, lively examples and is accessible to a wide audience, market participants and those curious about the often murky world of trading. Highly recommended.
