"This is a most exciting time in the industry, with so much changing all at once. Some are calling this a perfect storm, buffeting the global securities industry with an unprecedented combination of forces…Much, if not most of this metamorphosis is related to the nearly exponential growth of 'electronic trading', which appears close to finally taking over the entire industry globally." [Excerpted from the Editor's Introduction].

 With these words, Joe Rosen sets the stage for one of the decade's most important works on trading and technology, The Handbook of Electronic Trading. At once a comprehensive look at the challenges of keeping up with liquidity needs and technology advancements and a sourcebook for understandable, practical solutions, The Handbook of Electronic Trading is destined to be one of those rare industry books that enjoys more "read" time than "shelf" time.
