I can read (and have read) Volumes 1, 2, and 3 of The Art of Computer Programming and thereby acquire a considerable amount of "base domain knowledge" in that area.

I'm not aware of a correspondingly simple way of acquiring base domain knowledge of the topics we are discussing here. Perhaps you can suggest some books?

This is OK as a book, I read much of it many years ago:

The Complete Guide to Capital Markets for Quantitative Professionals (McGraw-Hill Library of Investment & Finance) Hardcover – 1 Dec 2006 by Alex Kuznetsov

A book on trading is prob more useful. There are many public specs of exchanges. For example:

The main thing to learn is orderbook building mechanics
