內容簡介
內容簡介 二〇一〇年五月六日全球股市毫無預警「閃崩」,五分鐘便損失上萬億美元。股價在半小時內反彈,全球專家還來不及回神⋯納文達・辛・沙洛出身倫敦西區藍領社區,是視股市交易如電腦遊戲的天才交易員。卅歲時,他離開倫敦交易所回老家工作,獲利多年,但行動神速的電子交易員開始介入市場蠶食他的利潤,他決定建立自己的系統反擊。他的策略奏效了⋯ Navinder Singh Sarao hardly seemed like a man who would shake the world's financial markets to their core. Raised in a working-class neighborhood in West London, Nav was a preternaturally gifted trader who played the markets like a computer game. By the age of thirty, he had left behind London's "trading arcades," working instead out of his childhood home. For years the money poured in. But when lightning-fast electronic traders infiltrated markets and started eating into his profits, Nav built a system of his own to fight back. It worked-until 2015, when the FBI arrived at his door. Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or a folk hero-an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
