Top hedge funds use the language on a daily basis for quantitative research, data exploration, and analysis and for prototyping, testing, and executing trading strategies. There's also a rise in trading activity by individuals and small groups of traders, including many from the technology world.

This book is ideal for Python developers, tech-savvy discretionary traders, data analysts, and people who want to become Algo trading professionals or trade their own funds.
