Systems Trading for Spread Betting: An End-To-End Guide for Developing Spread Betting Systems

The title of this book is misleading. I do not know why the author mentioned spread trading in the first place. He should name it as "pure" system trading or "System Trading via Ninja Trader". Hence, if a reader's expectation is on "spread trading", this book is definitely not the right book to explore.

Having said that.... this is actually a nice book. The author did so well in creating a comprehensive guide to create series of algorithmic trading systems. It basically covers all necessary steps in system trading. This is a good book for newbies although it may be too simple for intermediate or advance traders. Furthermore, the author did so well in introducing ninja trader software. For those who are keen to explore ninja trader, this is the right book which provide step by step guidance with details explanation and examples.

Overall, it is a worthwhile read. However, with the flaws as mentioned above, I am going to rate this book at 6/10. Since I am no more the newbie, this book at most serves as good refreshment. After all, there is nothing new under the sun regardless of software used in system trading...
