Book review: Building Algorithmic Trading Systems w/Kevin Davey
Welcome to futures io.
(If you already have an account, login at the top of the page)
futures io is the largest futures trading community on the planet, with over 90,000 members. At futures io, our goal has always been and always will be to create a friendly, positive, forward-thinking community where members can openly share and discuss everything the world of trading has to offer. The community is one of the friendliest you will find on any subject, with members going out of their way to help others. Some of the primary differences between futures io and other trading sites revolve around the standards of our community. Those standards include a code of conduct for our members, as well as extremely high standards that govern which partners we do business with, and which products or services we recommend to our members.
At futures io, our focus is on quality education. No hype, gimmicks, or secret sauce. The truth is: trading is hard. To succeed, you need to surround yourself with the right support system, educational content, and trading mentors – all of which you can find on futures io, utilizing our social trading environment.
With futures io, you can find honest trading reviews on brokers, trading rooms, indicator packages, trading strategies, and much more. Our trading review process is highly moderated to ensure that only genuine users are allowed, so you don’t need to worry about fake reviews.
We are fundamentally different than most other trading sites:
We are here to help. Just let us know what you need.
We work extremely hard to keep things positive in our community.
We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendors advertising in posts.
We firmly believe in and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, we can help you find it.
We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.

You guys can use this thread to discuss the book. I also highly recommend watching the webinars on futures.io (formerly BMT) from Kevin Davey, there are several and they are all fantastic.
I've also invited Kevin back for a new webinar in the coming weeks, and to give away several of his new books (with autographs). Look for a separate thread for that event later.

Due to my background and my style of trading i own all relevant book's about that topic. I'm very glad that our friend Kevin has made a lot of efforts to make that book happen. I'm not an author myself but i know from other friends that it is an really huge task and often it turns into a nightmare.
Thanks Kevin i will buy one (unseen) if available here in Germany!

The book is a good read and very honest. If you think about buying a signal anywhere, read the book first and then think again. Coming up with a signal you can trade is hard work and not a quick road to riches.
I can definitely recommend it and even advanced system developers might be able to pick up a thing or two. Of course there is only so much you can put into a book, but @kevinkdog does a great job going over every aspect of his development process.

I have wondered in the past as to why Kevin is not considered a vendor? Can anyone help me understand the line between being considered a vendor and not one on the forums?

Discussed multiple times on futures.io (formerly BMT). There is a bug where Market Wizards do not show their vendor badge. I am not going to fix this bug. See futures.io (formerly BMT) 5.0 thread.
