Study Notes
Algorithmic Trading
- Employs computer programs for automated trade execution based on pre-defined rules.
- Consists of:
- Strategy: trading idea or model.
- Algorithm: Program implementing trading strategy.
- Execution: Sending orders to the market.
- Infrastructure: Necessary hardware/software
Order Book
- The order book is an Electronic listing of buy and sell orders for a specific security.
- Includes:
- Bid: buyer's price.
- Ask: seller's price.
- Size: shares available at a price.
- Market Depth: order volume at various prices.
Market Impact
- The definition of market impact is price movement due to large order execution.
- This is dependent on:
- Order Size which has a direct correlation to impact.
- Market Liquidity such that less liquid markets are more susceptible to impact.
- Order type such that market orders have a higher price impact than limit orders.
- Timing impacts efficiency since Peak hours reduce impact.
Order Types
- Market Order: Execution is immediate, at best price.
- Pro: Execution guaranteed.
- Con: Potentially unfavorable price.
- Limit Order: Execution only at a specific price or better.
- Pro: Price certainty.
- Con: Possible non-execution.
- Stop Order: Triggered when price hits the stop price.
- Stop-Loss: Limits potential losses.
- Stop-Buy: Enters position as price rises.
- Other types of orders:
- Iceberg Order: Large order in smaller tranches. Execution is immediate.
- Fill or Kill (FOK): Complete, immediate execution required; otherwise, cancelled.
- Immediate or Cancel (IOC): Any portion not immediately executed gets cancelled
Execution Algorithms
-
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Executes orders at the average price by volume during a period.
-
Formula:
$$ VWAP = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} Price_i \times Volume_i}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} Volume_i} $$
-
-
Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP): Executes orders at the average price over time.
-
Formula:
$$ TWAP = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} Price_i}{n} $$
-
-
Percentage of Volume (POV): Executes a set percentage of market volume.
- Pro: takes advantage of market momentum.
- Con: Order completion isn't feasible with low volumes.
-
Implementation Shortfall: Works to minimize diff between execution price and the price at decision time.
- Goal: Lessen order's market influence.
Optimal Execution
- To optimize execution, consider:
- Market Conditions such as its volatility, liquidity, and trading volume.
- Order Characteristics such as size, urgency, and direction.
- Risk Aversion to determine tolerance for price fluctuation tolerance.
- Transaction Costs like commissions, fees, and market impact.
Regulation
- Prohibits Market Manipulation like activities such as spoofing and layering.
- Spoofing is order placement with no intention to execute orders.
- Layering is using multiple orders at different prices for false market depth impression.
- Fair Access means fair opportunities shall be Provided to all market participants.
- Provide Transparency by sharing information about trading activity with the public.
Performance Evaluation
- Metrics use used to evaluate performance:
- Execution Price verses benchmark prices.
- Market Impact measured by price movement after execution.
- Completion Rate to determine percentage of order successfully completed.
- Cost Savings by subtracting estimated cost from actual.
- Performance is measured using:
- Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) to determine the costs of trading.
