"This book is not about abstract models of trading, or theoretical 'if's,' or purely academic analysis. It puts you right in the middle of simulated markets and successfully shows you how financial markets operate, how to handle your strategic decisions, how to react to market conditions, how to be honest, and on top of all of that, how to trade with a long-run perspective."
―From the Foreword by Dr. Reto Francioni, CEO, Deutsche Börse

"The TraderEx simulation software very much succeeds in capturing the dynamics of trading in today's fast moving markets. A number of us at ISE, including me, have used it, found it most informative, and are very pleased to see it being made available with this excellent book."
