Statistics for the Trading Floor: Data Science for Investing (For The Trading Floor Series)

I used this book as a complement to my CFA Level 1 studies. It is definitely helped to get a different perspective on some of the trickier topics. Would prefer the answers to the End of Chapter questions actually in the book.

The book is so great!

Love it!

This book it utterly dissapointing. It is supposed to be a book about statistics and data-science, but once you open it you realize there's nothing of value inside. It's a collection of 'descriptions' of what tools and models you might 'need' on the trading floor, but it never even attempts to teach you any modicum of competence in those tools.You won't learn to be better at statistics or data-science by reading this book. At best you will get a slight idea on where to look next and what real book you should be reading in order to actually gain a grasp on those concepts. It is just filler.For a book that's meant to be about math, there's almost no formulas or math rigor in the pages. It's all text and descriptions. I do not really understand what the author went for and to whom this book should be addressed.Save yourself the trouble and buy something else.

Great book. It is basically a introductory course to statistics with a focus on trading applications. It is an easy read for a statistics book and does a great job of explaining many topics.

Hubiera esperado que indicara cómo usar toda la estadística que describe

I am surprised how simple things are so effective, i am in trading business for quite a while and this book was not only a good refressher, but also a reminder that keep it simple often works much better. Floor series is amazing i wonder whay they stopped doing more.

This book is a very good reference book for anyone interested in statistics , as a tool for making money in the markets it is useless. Hence its author is now a Youtuber, but not of the scamming variety. My opinion is that of a successful options trader .

Good book, help you to understand what statistics you may need in a trading/financial environment and how you can use it (in a theoretical way).By the way, you better know the subjects at prior, and how to code it (that's imply have notions about descriptive statistic and inference statistic and be good with a programming language to put all that at work).IF YOU NEVER STUDY STATISTIC, OR IF YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTAND ABOUT ANY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE I DISCOURAGE YOU TO BUY THIS BOOK.
