Thank you Steve. I also found the rank of this book is quite high in Amazon.

Dophin - as an engineer, I can recommend “Algorithmic Trading and DMA: An introduction to direct access trading strategies” by Barry Johnson
(http://www.amazon.com/Algorithmic-Trading-DMA-introduction-strategies/dp/0956399207) - it has a good primer on all the major mainstream strategies.
