Securities Trading: Principles and Procedures

Last updated: Monday, September 16, 2024 2:50 PM

Securities Trading: Principles and Procedures (STPP) is a draft manuscript that grew out of my teaching notes for my undergraduate microstructure course. The audience is upper level finance and information technology students who are aiming at positions in areas related to the securities markets (traditional sales-and-trading, but also fintech and litigation support).

The course covers our basic trading mechanisms (limit order books, auctions, dealer markets). It has a high institutional/regulatory content (mostly, but not exclusively, US).

The current draft is STPPms14b.pdf (August, 2024). The end-of-chapter problems and sample exam questions are in a separate document STPPms14bQ.pdf.
