In fact, the book itself follows Perry′s guidelines: put the probabilities on your side, pay attention to details, and don′t overcomplicate the machinery. Thank you, Perry."

This new book represents the other side of the coin: a short and quickly readable book that deals with the most important issues to develop a successful trading system. Readers will understand the essential concepts that every algorithmic trader must know in order to achieve their goals."
