75k Futures by Gunnar Green & Bernhard Hopfengärtner
Named after the source of a flash crash of the American stock market in May 2010, caused by 75,000 algorithmically traded futures, 75,000 Futures is a book illustrating algorithms in action, with data sourced from the HFT research firm Nanex. The book explores a typology of algorithmic actors, whose motives and strategies must be reversed-engineered from market behaviour, exposing a systems aesthetic of structured logic backed up by an ambiguous rationality.
