Chapter 2: The Critical Components of a Trading System

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies. In this chapter, we are going to study how to convert these strategies into real-time software that will connect to an exchange to actually apply the theory that you've previously learned. We will describe the functioning of a trading system capable of trading assets.

In this chapter we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding the trading system
  • Making a trading system trade with exchanges
  • Order book management
  • Strategy making decisions on when to trade

By the end of this chapter, you will be capable of designing a trading system, connecting a trading system to an exchange, and building a limit order book.
