Product Description:
The fully updated classic guide to the mechanics of securities processing—a must for professional investors
This third edition of After the Trade Is Made reflects the changes that have taken place in recent years as a result of new products, technological breakthroughs, and the globalization of the securities industry. Comprehensive and easy to understand, it provides brokers, operations personnel, and individual investors with definitive and up-to-the-minute explanations of each step in the trading process—from the moment a customer decides to buy or sell a security through the final requirements of record keeping.
Written for both securities professionals and individual investors, whether domestic or in other countries, this new edition clearly explains the core of underwritings, new and established trading markets, transaction processing, margin, and more—while providing critical insights into the most recent wave of industry changes.
David M. Weiss, a veteran securities professional, traces the entire process of buying or selling a security, from order management to transaction processing to the final posting on the firm’s books and records. He covers the specialized attributes of each function in a typical brokerage firm, as well as their relationships with commercial banks, transfer agents, clearing corporations, and depositories.
After the Trade Is Made is the definitive resource for anyone eager to understand and confidently navigate the vast and often surprising world of securities.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. I own a second edition, and it literally made me tens of thousands of dollars (which, being young and irresponsible, I have spend almost entirely on alcohol, laptops, and occasionally girls). Now I am a successful consultant in Geneva, Switzerland, designing and development trading platforms for buy-side and sell-side companies in foreign exchange markets. My expertise started with this book.

The very first edition of this book was written back when computers and automated processing was emerging and 'a new thing' so much of the information this book started with is pretty dated. The second edition was updated in the '90s and correspondingly updates some things but, suffice it to say, is still dated now. I would argue though that the information contained therein is still very, very valuable for reference, particularly for purposes of following the 'money and paper trail'. The concepts and theories still apply and the methods by which things are done yesterday are effectively the same (just done electronically not with paper). It also provides good overviews of the processing and bookeeping of various product types.

I had the fortune to be personally tought by Mr David Weiss. He used this incredible book as the basis of a 2 week series of lectures on the minutiae of trade processing. He made up for the shocking content of the book with his array of monogrammed Brooks Brothers shirts and sandwiches with english mustard. What can you say about this fine gentleman....hats off to you for making a great career about such fascinating stuff! I remember the time vividly as it was my very first job and a unique life experience.

Each and every concept is well explained with examples. I would request the author to add separate chapter for derivatives as well.

The topics suggested by the title (settlement, etc) are well addressed, but the very first half of the book is dedicated to marketplaces and here the book comes up short. Many recent market developments, even those that were in place at the time of writing, appear to be inadequately or inaccurately addressed. Examples:
ATSes/ECNs are much more center stage than the book would suggest and are not sufficiently discussed
Hybrid market mechanics are not discussed much
Dark pool liquidity is not addressed
Options market making is not addressed beyond a single paragraph that sheds no light into how Citadel et al make continuous markets electronically
And unfortunately, given that the major development of Reg NMS took place after the book, this makes the marketplace info even less useful.
