SCOTT PATTERSON is a staff reporter at the Wall Street Journal, covering financial regulation from the nation's capital.
"Far more comprehensive and persuasive [than even Michael Lewis'
Flashboys]."
--James Stewart, New York Times Book Review
"An excellent history of the early electronic traders" - Michael
Lewis
“Scott Patterson’s Dark Pools is about the most important financial
issue no one talks about—how high-frequency traders have rigged the
market.”
--Mark Cuban
“Remarkable…even long-time participants in electronic markets will
learn a lot from this book.”
--Forbes
“Richly reported…an invaluable piece of timely journalism that
should be read by regulators and anyone with a cent in the stock
market...You will never look at the opening bell in the same
way.”
--Financial Times
“An engaging narrative…DARK POOLS is easily the most entertaining
and accessible book to cover the new world of stock trading.”
--Fortune
“An education in how markets work, packaged in a thriller worthy of
Michael Crichton…. Dark Pools is one of those rare books that is a
great summer beach read and a useful trading manual.”
--Minyanville.com
“Very enjoyable….a good story of how innovators destroy the old
guard.”
--BusinessInsider.com
“Dark Pools relays an epic tangle of hacktivists, old-school floor
exchanges and traders – all wrestling to game the machines…The
stories engage from chapter to chapter, bringing the reader from
the outside in.”
--Seeking Alpha
“An entertaining account of the key battles in the “algo wars” and
the colorful math geeks who fight them—some of whom are now
fighting to rein in the monsters they created. Dark Pools is an
alarming account.”
--Canadian Business
“Dark Pools is a must read for all serious investors.
Patterson’s methodically researched book exposes the core problems
in today’s securities market…His findings should serve as a
blueprint for the SEC.”
