Although this book follows the layout of a programming book, the
underlying theme is financial modeling and quantitative trading
system development. In a sense, this book really marries four
disciplines—computer science, quantitative finance, trading strategy,
and quality development—into one, financial engineering. The
following chapter, Chapter 2, outlines the Kumiega–Van Vliet
Trading System Development Methodology, which as you will see
provides the underlying structure for the rest of the book. As the
chapters progress, we present gradually more complex programming
ideas along with mathematics and trading applications to
illustrate the steps along the Kumiega–Van Vliet paradigm. So this
book is not just about Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) and databases. It
is about modeling financial instruments in code and putting the
pieces, or models, together to create an automated trading or risk
management system using a programming language, which in this
case is VB.NET. Let’s get started.
Limitations in today's software packages for financial modeling system development can threaten the viability of any system--not to mention the firm using that system. Modeling Financial Markets is the first book to take financial professionals beyond those limitations to introduce safer, more sophisticated modeling methods. It contains dozens of techniques for financial modeling in code that minimize or avoid current software deficiencies, and addresses the crucial crossover stage in which prototypes are converted to fully coded models. |
