I finally finished and published my book, which is called “Algorithms for Commodity Trading Advisors”.
Are you a Commodity Advisor or Futures Trader, looking for ways to improve your workflow, to swiftly re-allocate portfolios for all of your clients, or perhaps to implement low-latency trading systems?
Now more than ever, trading algorithms are becoming more and more accessible.
The problem is, with all of the options available, it can be difficult to get a real system workable as soon as possible without a real sense of direction.
Inside this book, you’ll encounter real code, written by a real algorithmic trader, with real working examples, backed by real online documentation, that can be implemented on live trading systems. You will learn:
- Design considerations for making your own system from scratch.
- Programming language overviews.
- Network protocol overviews
- API library overviews
- Operating system overviews
- Platform-based trading algorithms, including the German-engineered Zorro platform
- Algorithm basics
- Futures algorithms
- Continuous contracts
- Options algorithms
- Portfolio and Advisor algorithms
- Low-latency algorithms
PLUS: Free access to example trading scripts, historical futures data, and contract specification configuration files, as well as discounts codes for premium trading software.
What Traders & Developers Are Saying:
“Andrew undertook several complex programming tasks for me. These included interfacing between diverse systems that were definitely not intended by their developers to interact (one might even say they were hostile). He ran through the various options in a lucid manner and produced a robust solution that worked immediately. Then when the developers of one of the system radically changed its policies and blocked the original interface method, Andrew found an ingenious workaround that continues working flawlessly to this day. For rock solid programming and out of the box thinking on complex intractable problems I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
– Andy Webb, Omega Derivatives Limited, U.K.
“Andrew Dolder developed software projects for the Zorro platform. His work was always reliable, fast, technically sound, and completed with a clear understanding of our requirements. We would gladly work with him again.”
– Johann Christian Lotter, oP group Germany GmbH, author of The Black Book of Financial Hacking
“I’ve engaged Andrew several times over the years to help me research edges in derivatives and algorithmic trading research where as a sole retail trader it would be near impossible for me to develop on my own. In an age where AI is meant to make things simpler and easier, it is required I think to have someone who can actually help you put something into live trading. It is one thing to come up with an idea, it is a gigantic leap to execute on that idea – Andrew is no nonsense, serious and fast, the quality and performance of anything intraday he has built me is for me without peer. Andrew is as close to a Trading Desk Developer/Quant as I think a retail trader can get.”
– Tim Desmond, Options Trader, New Zealand
