Through the lens of an expert practitioner, Harry provides a treatise on how to develop a robust quantitative trading strategy using 'R'.

Harry has written an instant classic that the professional and novice will find inherently useful. There is an inordinate amount of working 'R' code that the reader can deploy instantly or lever to develop more exotic functions and scripts. With this book, there is no need for expensive software development or a MATLAB license. Download the R software and you can begin building profitable strategies immediately. Harry has spawned an entire new generation of hedge fund managers with this seminal work. - Ed Zarek, Quantitative Options Trader, Chicago Volatility Group
