Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark pool is a securities trading venue with no published market depth feed. Such markets have traditionally been utilized by large institutions as an alternative to public exchanges to execute large block orders which might otherwise impact settlement price. It is estimated that the trading volume of dark pool markets was 9% to 12% of the total U.S. equity market share volume in 2010. This phenomenon raises questions regarding the fundamental value of securities traded through dark pool markets and their impact on the price discovery process in traditional “visible” markets. In this paper, we establish a modeling framework for dark pool markets through agent-based modeling. It presents and validates the costs and benefits of trading small orders in dark pool markets. Simulated trading of 78 selected stocks demonstrates that dark pool market traders can obtain better execution rate when the dark pool market has more uninformed traders relative to informed traders. In addition, trading stocks with larger market capitalization yields better price improvement in dark pool markets.

This book was released on 2018-12-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly prepares intermediate-level readers for research in social science, organization studies, economics, finance, marketing science, and business science as complex adaptive systems. It presents the advantages of social simulation studies and business intelligence to those who are not familiar with the computational research approach, and offers experienced modelers various instructive examples of using agent-based modeling and business intelligence approaches to inspire their own work. In addition, the book discusses cutting-edge techniques for complex adaptive systems using their applications. To date, business science studies have focused only on data science and analyses of business problems. However, using these studies to enhance the capabilities of conventional techniques in the fields has not been investigated adequately. This book addresses managing the issues of societies, firms, and organizations to profit from interaction with agent-based modeling, human- and computer- mixed systems, and business intelligence approaches, an area that is fundamental for complex but bounded rational business environments. With detailed research by leading authors in the field, Innovative Approaches in Agent-Based Modelling and Business Intelligence inspires readers to join with other disciplines and extend the scope of the book with their own unique contributions. It also includes the common challenges encountered in computational social science and business science to enable researchers, students, and professionals to resolve their own problems.

Book Synopsis Examining the Feasibility and Effectiveness of Utilizing Dark Pool Transactions in Retail Algorithmic Trading by : James Qu
Download or read book Examining the Feasibility and Effectiveness of Utilizing Dark Pool Transactions in Retail Algorithmic Trading written by James Qu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes if retail investors who are individual non-professional investors buying and selling securities can utilize dark pool information to generate positive returns and outperform the overall market. Specifically, this paper utilizes a very specific personal algorithmic trading strategy that has been created which utilizes dark pool trading information to outperform the S&P 500. Dark Pools are private exchanges where institutional investors can make large trades to not affect prices on public exchanges, ensuring price security when filling a large block of securities being exchanged. The Literature Review section will go future in- depth on what these are and how they work. The results of this study were extremely promising. The algorithmic trading program created to test this thesis ran on a paper portfolio. The Results and Analysis chapter details the specifics of how the paper portfolio was set up. The portfolio generated ~1,163.84% in returns in 60 active days of trading over the course of 6 months. The algorithm bought the share count of each trade to roughly $8,000.00 in value rounded down to the nearest share, generating excess returns of $92,401.44. This paper is not trying to prove the effectiveness of any specific algorithm or algorithmic strategy to beat the market, but rather to prove that dark pool information can be effectively used by an algorithm to beat the market. Due to the nature of dark pools being secretive along with the use of an algorithm, we can only make informed hypotheses on the exact market functions behind the outperformance; however, with our high amount of data points and strong results, we are able to conclude that retail investors are able to leverage dark pool information and the trades of institutional investors in these private exchanges to outperform the market if the investor is able to effectively utilize the information. Details of the analysis are explored in Chapter 4 Results and Analysis section of this paper.
Book Synopsis Dark Pools and Flash Trading: New trends in Equity Trading? by : Katharina Niciejewska
Download or read book Dark Pools and Flash Trading: New trends in Equity Trading? written by Katharina Niciejewska and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the characteristics of equity trading and especially two relatively new phenomena which are dark pools and flash trading. Over the last years these two terms became more and more important in equity trading and today they are a real alternative to traditional exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange or Deutsche Börse. But these new evolutions do not only have advantages. Indeed there are concerns that beside the benefits, like fast execution times, sophisticated techniques and less market impact, these mechanisms can also burrow risks. These risks are difficult to estimate, with an evolution of these new platforms that was so quick, that one might have the impression that even regulators do not full yet understand what might happen in the case of a next financial crisis. However with a market share of 15%-20% of all trading activity in global equities and a jump of almost fivefold in the period of time from January to October 2009, these new mechanisms cannot be ignored anymore. Therefore this book explains in detail the functionality of dark pools and other current trading strategies. All important factors like different market structures, market liquidity aspects, as well as regulatory framework and technology facets will be reviewed. Further an outlook should be given to the reader on how the evolution of dark pools & co. might continue in the coming years. With dark pools and flash trading, trading is now dominated by rapid-fire computer systems that might create a more technically driven market, rather than one based on fundamental forces. It remains to see whether this evolution will continue.
Book Synopsis The New Stock Market by : Merritt B. Fox
Download or read book The New Stock Market written by Merritt B. Fox and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. stock market has been transformed over the last twenty-five years. Once a market in which human beings traded at human speeds, it is now an electronic market pervaded by algorithmic trading, conducted at speeds nearing that of light. High-frequency traders participate in a large portion of all transactions, and a significant minority of all trade occurs on alternative trading systems known as “dark pools.” These developments have been widely criticized, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory response to these dramatic changes. The New Stock Market offers a comprehensive new look at how these markets work, how they fail, and how they should be regulated. Merritt B. Fox, Lawrence R. Glosten, and Gabriel V. Rauterberg describe stock markets’ institutions and regulatory architecture. They draw on the informational paradigm of microstructure economics to highlight the crucial role of information asymmetries and adverse selection in explaining market behavior, while examining a wide variety of developments in market practices and participants. The result is a compelling account of the stock market’s regulatory framework, fundamental institutions, and economic dynamics, combined with an assessment of its various controversies. The New Stock Market covers a wide range of issues including the practices of high-frequency traders, insider trading, manipulation, short selling, broker-dealer practices, and trading venue fees and rebates. The book illuminates both the existing regulatory structure of our equity trading markets and how we can improve it.
Book Synopsis Should dark pools be prohibited? by : Moritz Meyer
Download or read book Should dark pools be prohibited? written by Moritz Meyer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 68%, University of Strathclyde, language: English, abstract: Should dark pools be prohibited? Discuss this statement by exclusively presenting arguments that this is not the case. A dark pool is defined by Banks (2010) as an alternative trading system for the anonymous trade of standardised financial products. Pan (2017) specifies it as mainly an equity trading venue. The trades in a dark pool are, according to Ye (2016), concluded outside of any display order. This differs from lit markets, such as traditional stock exchanges, as the trade, according to Comerton-Forde and Putniņš (2015), is only made public after it has been executed. Dark pools are a highly unregulated market sector and not subjected to the rules and regulations of the European stock exchanges, as Baxter (2017) highlights. Petrescu and Wedow (2017) therefore assumed that the key feature of dark pools is less transparency compared to lit markets, i.e. market participants do not have an overview of the supply and demand of the products. The traders purchase and sell on dark pools without showing their identities or exposing transactions to the public market; therefore, the available liquidity in the dark pool is anonymous, as pointed out by Kratz and Schöneborn (2014). The price of a successful order is calculated, as claimed by Banks (2014), as the midpoint of the bid and offer. Zhu (2014) states that the execution of an order in a dark pool is not guaranteed, unlike the traditional stock exchange.
Download or read book Dark Pools written by Scott Patterson and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A news-breaking account of the global stock market's subterranean battles, Dark Pools portrays the rise of the "bots"--artificially intelligent systems that execute trades in milliseconds and use the cover of darkness to out-maneuver the humans who've created them. In the beginning was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named Island where small traders swapped stocks, and over time his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables. By then, the market that Levine had sought to fix had turned upside down, birthing secretive exchanges called dark pools and a new species of trading machines that could think, and that seemed, ominously, to be slipping the control of their human masters. Dark Pools is the fascinating story of how global markets have been hijacked by trading robots--many so self-directed that humans can't predict what they'll do next.
Book Synopsis Limit Order Books by : Frédéric Abergel
Download or read book Limit Order Books written by Frédéric Abergel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A limit order book is essentially a file on a computer that contains all orders sent to the market, along with their characteristics such as the sign of the order, price, quantity and a timestamp. The majority of organized electronic markets rely on limit order books to store the list of interests of market participants on their central computer. A limit order book contains all the information available on a specific market and it reflects the way the market moves under the influence of its participants. This book discusses several models of limit order books. It begins by discussing the data to assess their empirical properties, and then moves on to mathematical models in order to reproduce the observed properties. Finally, the book presents a framework for numerical simulations. It also covers important modelling techniques including agent-based modelling, and advanced modelling of limit order books based on Hawkes processes. The book also provides in-depth coverage of simulation techniques and introduces general, flexible, open source library concepts useful to readers studying trading strategies in order-driven markets.
Book Synopsis Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading by : Álvaro Cartea
Download or read book Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading written by Álvaro Cartea and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of trading algorithms requires sophisticated mathematical models backed up by reliable data. In this textbook, the authors develop models for algorithmic trading in contexts such as executing large orders, market making, targeting VWAP and other schedules, trading pairs or collection of assets, and executing in dark pools. These models are grounded on how the exchanges work, whether the algorithm is trading with better informed traders (adverse selection), and the type of information available to market participants at both ultra-high and low frequency. Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading is the first book that combines sophisticated mathematical modelling, empirical facts and financial economics, taking the reader from basic ideas to cutting-edge research and practice. If you need to understand how modern electronic markets operate, what information provides a trading edge, and how other market participants may affect the profitability of the algorithms, then this is the book for you.
Book Synopsis Performance of Semi-High Frequency Trading Algorithms in Python Based on Dark Pool Movements by : Mutian Fan
Download or read book Performance of Semi-High Frequency Trading Algorithms in Python Based on Dark Pool Movements written by Mutian Fan and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dark pools are hidden stock markets, which do not show trades before they occur as opposed to a transparent market such as the New York Stock Exchange. Not much research has been done in algorithmic trading based on dark pools; thus, the purpose of this thesis is to see if dark pools are able to predict movements in the market and generate a positive return in the market. This will be done using algorithmic trading done in the Python programming language, through TD Ameritrade's trading platform which allows foreign programs to access market information. The trading program will be set up using a web scraper to gather live dark pool data, as there is a lack of historical information to back test an algorithm. Then, it will log this information to be analyzed later. An analysis through looking at the assets of the algorithm given a starting amount of $25,000 will be done and compared with the price movement on SPY during the period of data collection. Risk-based analysis will be done using a Sharpe ratio with the risk-free rate of the U.S. treasury yield. After the analysis, it was shown that the algorithm performed extremely well despite heavy limitations on how many shares it could buy at any given time. Although some assumptions were made for live market performance, it can be said that dark pools are a valid way to make a good semi-high frequency execution algorithm.

Book Synopsis Complexity in Financial Markets by : Matthieu Cristelli
Download or read book Complexity in Financial Markets written by Matthieu Cristelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tools and methods from complex systems science can have a considerable impact on the way in which the quantitative assessment of economic and financial issues is approached, as discussed in this thesis. First it is shown that the self-organization of financial markets is a crucial factor in the understanding of their dynamics. In fact, using an agent-based approach, it is argued that financial markets’ stylized facts appear only in the self-organized state. Secondly, the thesis points out the potential of so-called big data science for financial market modeling, investigating how web-driven data can yield a picture of market activities: it has been found that web query volumes anticipate trade volumes. As a third achievement, the metrics developed here for country competitiveness and product complexity is groundbreaking in comparison to mainstream theories of economic growth and technological development. A key element in assessing the intangible variables determining the success of countries in the present globalized economy is represented by the diversification of the productive basket of countries. The comparison between the level of complexity of a country's productive system and economic indicators such as the GDP per capita discloses its hidden growth potential.
Book Synopsis Market Liquidity by : Thierry Foucault
Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Thierry Foucault and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. This book offers a more accurate and authoritative take on this process. The book starts from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that participants have quite diverse information about the security's fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security's actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. The book takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. The authors draw on a vast body of theoretical insights and empirical findings on security price formation that have come to form a well-defined field within financial economics known as "market microstructure." Focusing on liquidity and price discovery, the book analyzes the tension between the two, pointing out that when price-relevant information reaches the market through trading pressure rather than through a public announcement, liquidity may suffer. It also confronts many striking phenomena in securities markets and uses the analytical tools and empirical methods of market microstructure to understand them. These include issues such as why liquidity changes over time and differs across securities, why large trades move prices up or down, and why these price changes are subsequently reversed, and why we observe temporary deviations from asset fair values"--
