WHAT TO LOOK FOR

The perspective.

Harris shifts attention from forecasts to the structure in which trades actually occur. The book is especially useful for understanding why a quoted price, an executable price, and a realized transaction cost can differ. Read it as a framework for evaluating order choices, liquidity, and the incentives of different market participants.

Who this book suits

Readers interested in trading venues, order execution, liquidity, and market design.

READ WITH A QUESTION IN MIND

Take these into the margins.

  1. 01

    Who is providing liquidity for the trade?

  2. 02

    What information is conveyed by the order itself?

  3. 03

    Which costs remain when the advertised commission is zero?

Context & editions

Specific venues, technologies, and regulations evolve, so use the framework with current market documentation.
