Download or read book High Frequency Trading, Hidden Orders and Market Quality in Equities written by Cheng Gao and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first essay studies the roles of trading speed and hidden orders in limit order markets. We develop a model where liquidity suppliers differ in speed of revising their limit orders and have an option of hiding their orders. The model predicts that fast liquidity suppliers bear lower adverse selection risk and therefore submit orders with narrower bid-ask spreads. Slow liquidity suppliers may overcome their speed disadvantage by using hidden orders. We also provide empirical results that support the model. We find that non-high frequency trading firms account for 70% of liquidity provision in hidden executions, and hidden orders have significantly narrower spreads and lower adverse selection risk than visible orders. Our theoretical model and empirical findings suggest that high frequency technology and hidden orders are substitutes in reducing adverse selection risk. The second essay investigates market quality breakdowns in equity markets. A breakdown occurs when an order book thins to the point where extreme price movements are observed. These are frequently reversed as the market learns that nothing fundamental has occurred. The daily average breakdown frequency from 1993-2011 is 0.64%, with averages in 2010-11 below this amount. Controlling for microstructure effects, breakdowns have fallen significantly since Reg NMS. Spikes in market correlation and high frequency trading (HFT) surges make breakdowns more likely. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) break down more often than non-ETFs. Both ETFs and HFT Granger cause market correlation. Breakdowns are predictable for up to two days. The third essay analyzes HFT activity in equities during U.S. Treasury permanent open market (POMO) purchases by the Federal Reserve. We construct a model to study HFT quote and trade behavior when private information is released. We estimate that HFT firms reduce their inside quote participation by up to 8% during POMO auctions. HFT firms trade more aggressively, and they supply less passive liquidity to non-HFT firms. Market impact also rises during Treasury POMO. Aggressive HFT trading becomes more consistently profitable, and HFT firms earn a higher return per share. We also estimate that HFT firms earn profits of over $105 million during U.S. Treasury POMO events.

Book excerpt: The markets have evolved at breakneck speed during the past decade, and change has accelerated dramatically since 2007's disastrous regulatory "reforms." An unrelenting focus on technology, hyper-short-term trading, speed, and volume has eclipsed sanity: markets have been hijacked by high-powered interests at the expense of investors and the entire capital-raising process. A small consortium of players is making billions by skimming and scalping unaware investors -- and, in so doing, they've transformed our markets from the world's envy into a barren wasteland of terror. Since these events began, Themis Trading's Joe Saluzzi and Sal Arnuk have offered an unwavering voice of reasoned dissent. Their small brokerage has stood up against the hijackers in every venue: their daily writings are now followed by investors, regulators, the media, and "Main Street" investors worldwide. Saluzzi and Arnuk don't take prisoners! Now, in Broken Markets, they explain how all this happened, who did it, what it means, and what's coming next. You'll understand the true implications of events ranging from the crash of 1987 to the "Flash Crash" -- and discover what it all means to you and your future. Warning: you will get angry (if you aren't already). But you'll know exactly why you're angry, who you're angry at, and what needs to be done!
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 HFTs and Non-hfts Along the Limit Order Book by : Zheng He
Download or read book HFTs and Non-hfts Along the Limit Order Book written by Zheng He and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using NASDAQ high frequency trading (HFT) and minute-by-minute Limit Order Book (LOB) data over 120 sample stocks in 10 weeks between 2008-2010, including the week of the Lehman Brothers crisis, we study how trading activities of HFTs, NHFTs (Non-HFTs) and their order placements interact, and affect overall market quality. We capture order placements via the depth (step) and the height (price) dimensions along the LOB. We first document that HFTs are active not only at the top of the LOB, but their orders are placed along the LOB with an average around the 5th step, slightly ahead of NHFTs who on average are close to the 6th step. Generally, both HFTs and NHFTs are more aggressive in order placement with large stocks and hidden orders and HFT orders are further ahead during the crisis week, though price-wise they all back off somewhat with more conservative placements by NHFTs. In market turmoil, whenever HFTs see NHFTs trade among themselves, they become less aggressive in order placement. However, when HFTs trade, other HFT orders become more aggressive by moving ahead. On the contrary, NHFTs generally become more aggressive when other NHFTs supply liquidity in trading, and more conservative when HFTs are the supplier. We find mixed results on the impact of HFTs order placements and trading activities on market quality by different measures, but aggressive orders by HFTs and NHFTs both are related with decreases in short-term market volatility. Our findings highlight the importance of not only studying HFTs and NHFTs activities along the LOB, but also in both depth and height dimensions, instead of only at the market inside quotes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial industry's leading independent research firm's forward-looking assessment into high frequency trading Once regarded as a United States-focused trend, today, high frequency trading is gaining momentum around the world. Yet, while high frequency trading continues to be one of the hottest trends in the markets, due to the highly proprietary nature of the computer transactions, financial firms and institutions have made very little available in terms of information or "how-to" techniques. That's all changed with The High Frequency Game Changer: How Automated Trading Strategies Have Revolutionized the Markets. In the book, Zubulake and Lee present an overview of how high frequency trading is changing the face of the market. The book Explains how we got here and what it means to traders and investors Details how to build a high frequency trading firm, including the relevant tools, strategies, and trading talent Defines key components common to HFT such as algorithms, low latency trading infrastructure, collocation etc. The High Frequency Game Changer takes a highly controversial and extremely complicated subject and makes it accessible to anyone with an interest or stake in financial markets.
Book Synopsis High Frequency Trading: Economic Necessity or Threat to the Economy? by : Stefan Höppel
Download or read book High Frequency Trading: Economic Necessity or Threat to the Economy? written by Stefan Höppel and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last four decades, technological progress led to an electrification of stock trading systems. It was realized that the profitability of trading strategies could be increased by employing computer algorithms to trade autonomously. This led to the implementation of High Frequency Trading (HFT). Theoretically HFT should increase efficiency in financial markets but it seems that, at least under certain circumstances, it causes market instability. The aim of this paper is to discuss the effect of HFT on market quality and why HFT cannot be fully explained by the neoclassical theory of economics. Therefore, the controversial positions in literature will be presented and discussed. It is especially referred to the influence of HFT on liquidity, price discovery and volatility. Primarily, its negative effect on volatility seems to contravene the modern finance. Furthermore, in the course of this work it will be illustrated that, by employing strict regulation of financial markets, this negative impact cannot be reduced to a sufficient extent in order for HFT to be characterized as market optimizing, according to the neoclassical theory of economics.
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 Term-Structure Analysis of Hidden Order in the Limit Order Book by : Pongsutti Phuensane
Download or read book Term-Structure Analysis of Hidden Order in the Limit Order Book written by Pongsutti Phuensane and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hidden order is currently increasingly popular as a standard feature of electronic limit order book markets. The invisible order allows traders to hide all, or partially hide their orders to avoid exposure to risk. I propose a new hidden order detection algorithm for the limit order book to investigate the impact of invisible orders on the market environment using E-mini S&P 500 data. The algorithm shows 43% all of the trade volume is involved with invisible liquidity. This work also finds that price impact decreases and market quality is improved with the presence of a hidden order both during high and low-frequency trading periods. I use this measure to study the association between hidden order and other observed market environments. The analysis finds aggressively hidden order activity when trading volume is increased.

Book Synopsis High-Frequency Trading and Dark Pools: The Complexity of Financial Markets by : William Troyaux
Download or read book High-Frequency Trading and Dark Pools: The Complexity of Financial Markets written by William Troyaux and published by Publishroom. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will find in this book exclusive interviews of renowned specialists about market microstructure and high-frequency trading strategies on lit markets and Dark Pools. This book was developed following extensive research to democratize as many aspects as possible on US and European market microstructure, high-frequency trading strategies and Dark Pools. Today, financial markets have become extremely complex. Market automation and new regulations have encouraged the emergence of new market players: high-frequency traders. These new players hold intraday positions. They deploy their specific orders and arbitrage strategies across multiple markets at close to the speed of light to get the best prices and to trade ahead of other market participants. Dark Pools, whose operations are also difficult to understand for most professionals, have been created, adding complexity to financial markets. Dark Pools seems a little bit scary. However, we will see that Dark Pools are advantageous in terms of price compared to regulated markets. “Fantastic job explaining some tough to understand topics.” – Joe Saluzzi, Partner and co-founder of Themis Trading and co-author of the book Broken Markets. William’s message: “High-frequency trading is a small world that is difficult to access. I have spent a large part of this last year writing this book, taking into account the interviews I have been able to carry out in order to democratize as many aspects as possible. Many thanks to Joe Saluzzi, Alexandre Laumonier, Dave Lauer, Benoît Lallemand, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Donald MacKenzie. This book will help you to better understand the winning strategies of high-frequency trading firms.”
Book Synopsis Essays on Hidden Liquidity in Limit Order Markets by : John Ritter
Download or read book Essays on Hidden Liquidity in Limit Order Markets written by John Ritter and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation consists of three chapters that examine the use of hidden liquidity in limit order markets. Chapter 1 models a dynamic limit order market to study how the ability to hide a limit order affects market quality and traders' behavior. In the model, traders vary in the speed with which they can adjust their limit orders (Fast and Slow traders) and in the information they possess about the fundamental value of the asset (Informed and Uninformed traders). The model predicts that Fast traders are more likely to conceal their limit orders than Slow traders, since they can adjust their hidden orders quicker if they lose priority to displayed orders. Hidden orders in the limit order book make it more difficult for Uninformed traders to infer the fundamental value of the asset, which causes Informed traders to conceal their limit orders more than Uninformed traders. The model also predicts that there is not a significant difference in market quality between a transparent market that only allows displayed orders and an opaque market that allows traders the option to conceal their limit orders. Surprisingly, the profits of Informed traders are lower in an opaque market, because Uninformed traders can better infer the fundamental value of the asset due to Informed traders increasing the aggressiveness of their displayed limit orders. Chapter 2 examines how the speed of market participants affects the decision to conceal a limit order. In terms of the order initiator, I find that traders with a speed advantage, high-frequency traders (HFTs), are more likely to hide an order in the limit order book, but slower traders, non-high frequency traders (NHFTs), are more likely to hide an order when supplying liquidity in a trade. This difference occurs because NHFTs are more likely to conceal their aggressively priced limit orders, which reduces their adverse selection costs. Hiding a limit order does not reduce the adverse selection faced by HFTs, who are more likely to conceal their less aggressively priced limit orders. In terms of other market participants, I find that the limit orders of both HFTs and NHFTs are less likely to be concealed as the proportion of trading volume in which HFTs participate increases. Overall, these findings suggest that the speed of both the order initiator and other market participants affect a trader's decision to conceal their limit order. Chapter 3 investigates if informed liquidity suppliers display or hide their limit orders. I find that imbalances in hidden liquidity in the limit order book predict returns at both the intraday and daily levels, while imbalances in displayed liquidity do not. This relationship remains robust after controlling for liquidity, order flow, and past returns. I examine hidden imbalances around earnings announcements and find that long-short portfolios based on the average hidden imbalance during the two days prior to the earnings announcement earn the greatest returns for announcements with the largest earnings surprise. I also examine hidden liquidity supplied by highfrequency traders (HFTs) and non-high frequency traders (NHFTs) and find that imbalances in the hidden liquidity supplied by NHFTs predict returns at the intraday level, while imbalances in the hidden liquidity supplied by HFTs do not. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that informed NHFTs, who possess longlived information compared to HFTs, supply liquidity using hidden orders to prevent information leakage."--Pages iv-v.
