“The book contains little theory and presents mostly detailed numerical experiments, it reads very engagingly and inspires with many ideas. It is certainly not a reference book but rather a short monograph on a very clearly defined topic. It will be interesting to see whether the trading strategies presented can be transferred from the crypto markets to the presumably more efficient standard stock markets … as published strategies tend to make markets more efficient.” (Volker H. Schulz, SIAM Review, Vol. 64 (3), September, 2022)
