Book Synopsis The Impact of Tick Size on High Frequency Trading by : Alex Frino
Download or read book The Impact of Tick Size on High Frequency Trading written by Alex Frino and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listed companies and institutional investors have called on market regulators to introduce mechanisms to curb high-frequency (HF) trading in financial markets. In this paper we suggest relative tick size is one such mechanism. We investigate for a non-fragmented market two HF trading proxies: order to trade ratio and order resting time, and how it changes around stock splits and reverse splits, exogenous events which significantly impact a firm's relative tick size. We find that when a security undergoes a stock split and experiences a sudden increase in its relative tick size, it is associated with a lower order-to-trade ratio and longer order resting time, indicative of lower levels of HF trading. The reverse is true of reverse splits, HF traders prefer to trade in firms with smaller relative ticks, as the marginal cost of getting ahead in the limit order book decreases. Such behaviour is not observed in our matched sample of control firms or in a pre-HF trading environment.
Book Synopsis One Size Fits All? High Frequency Trading, Tick Size Changes and the Implications for Exchanges by : Thanos Verousis
Download or read book One Size Fits All? High Frequency Trading, Tick Size Changes and the Implications for Exchanges written by Thanos Verousis and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper offers a systematic review of the empirical literature on the implications of tick size changes for exchanges. Our focus is twofold: first, we are concerned with the market quality implications of a change in the minimum tick size. Second, we are interested in the implications of changes in the minimum tick size on market structure. We show that there is a large body of empirical literature that documents a decrease in transaction costs following a decrease in the minimum tick size. However, even though market liquidity increases, the incentive to provide market making activities decreases. We document a strong link between the minimum tick size regulations and the recent increase in High Frequency Trading (HFT) activity. A smaller tick enhances the price discovery process. However, the question of how multiple tick size regimes affect market liquidity in a fragmented market remains to be answered. Finally, we identify topics for future research; we discuss the empirical literature on the Minimum Trading Unit (MTU) and the recent calls for a minimum resting time for quotes.
Book Synopsis The Impacts of Tick Size Reduction in a Market with Multiple Tick Sizes by : Hung-Kun Chen
Download or read book The Impacts of Tick Size Reduction in a Market with Multiple Tick Sizes written by Hung-Kun Chen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the impact of tick size reduction on market quality, placing particular focus on whether a multiple tick rule helps to mitigate the impact of a tick rule size reduction in purely order-driven markets. Using a novel dataset covering an entire limit order book, our results suggest that the tick size reduction resulted in substantial declines in effective spread, quote depth, and market depth throughout the limit order book, whereas no significant effects on either trading volume or volatility are discernible. The multiple tick schedule does not eliminate divergence in the market quality for stocks in the same tick size group or across tick size groups. Within the same tick size group, spread and depth are reduced more for those stocks with lower prices, larger capitalization levels, and higher trading frequency. Across tick size groups, the impact of the tick size reduction is found to be stronger for groups where the original tick size was more of a binding constraint and for those groups which experienced a larger (relative) tick size reduction. Overall, our results suggest that a smaller tick size has reduced transaction costs for small trades yet impaired the provision of liquidity, particularly for large trades in high capitalization and more frequently-traded stocks. As a result, the net benefit of the new tick size schedule cannot be confirmed with certainty.
Book Synopsis Econophysics of Order-driven Markets by : Frédéric Abergel
Download or read book Econophysics of Order-driven Markets written by Frédéric Abergel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of the book is to present the ideas and research findings of active researchers from various communities (physicists, economists, mathematicians, financial engineers) working in the field of "Econophysics", who have undertaken the task of modelling and analyzing order-driven markets. Of primary interest in these studies are the mechanisms leading to the statistical regularities ("stylized facts") of price statistics. Results pertaining to other important issues such as market impact, the profitability of trading strategies, or mathematical models for microstructure effects, are also presented. Several leading researchers in these fields report on their recent work and also review the contemporary literature. Some historical perspectives, comments and debates on recent issues in Econophysics research are also included.

Book excerpt: This open access Pivot demonstrates how a variety of technologies act as innovation catalysts within the banking and financial services sector. Traditional banks and financial services are under increasing competition from global IT companies such as Google, Apple, Amazon and PayPal whilst facing pressure from investors to reduce costs, increase agility and improve customer retention. Technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, mobile technologies, big data analytics and social media therefore have perhaps more potential in this industry and area of business than any other. This book defines a fintech ecosystem for the 21st century, providing a state-of-the art review of current literature, suggesting avenues for new research and offering perspectives from business, technology and industry.
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 Tick Size Constraints, Market Structure, and Liquidity by : Mao Ye
Download or read book Tick Size Constraints, Market Structure, and Liquidity written by Mao Ye and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We argue that a one-penny minimum tick size for all stocks priced above $1 (SEC rule 612) encourages high-frequency trading and taker/maker-fee markets. We find that non-high frequency traders (non-HFTers) are 2.62 times more likely than HFTers to provide best prices, thereby establishing price priority. The larger relative tick size for low priced stocks, however, constrain non-HFTers from providing better prices and HFTers' speed advantage helps them establish time priority over non-HFTers. Non-HFTers enter the taker/maker market more frequently than HFTers, because they can bypass tick size constraints by paying a fee to the exchange. The incentive to pay a fee is stronger when relative tick size is high. When stock splits increase relative tick size, liquidity does not improve and volume shifts to the taker/maker market. Our results indicate recent proposals to increase tick size will not improve liquidity. Instead, they will encourage high frequency trading and lead to proliferation of markets that bypass the tick size constraints.
Book Synopsis The Microstructure of Financial Markets by : Frank de Jong

Book Synopsis Human Vs. High-Frequency Traders, Penny Jumping, and Tick Size by : Soheil Mahmoodzadeh
Download or read book Human Vs. High-Frequency Traders, Penny Jumping, and Tick Size written by Soheil Mahmoodzadeh and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines changes in market quality resulting from the smaller tick size of the interbank foreign exchange market. Coupled with the lower tick size, the special composition of traders and their order placement strategies created a suitable environment for high- frequency traders (HFT's) to implement sub-penny jumping strategy to front-run human traders. We show that the spread declined following the introduction of decimal pip pricing. However, benefits of spread reduction were mostly absorbed by the HFT's. Market depths were also significantly reduced with the occupation of the top of the order book by HFT's. This new environment changed the market maker-market taker composition between different traders and altered price impacts of the order flows.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to High-Frequency Finance by : Ramazan Gençay
Download or read book An Introduction to High-Frequency Finance written by Ramazan Gençay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-29 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal with low frequency, regularly spaced data. For a variety of reasons, high-frequency data are becoming a way for understanding market microstructure. This book discusses the best mathematical models and tools for dealing with such vast amounts of data. This book provides a framework for the analysis, modeling, and inference of high frequency financial time series. With particular emphasis on foreign exchange markets, as well as currency, interest rate, and bond futures markets, this unified view of high frequency time series methods investigates the price formation process and concludes by reviewing techniques for constructing systematic trading models for financial assets.
Book Synopsis Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets by : Abdourahmane Sarr
Download or read book Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets written by Abdourahmane Sarr and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an overview of indicators that can be used to illustrate and analyze liquidity developments in financial markets. The measures include bid-ask spreads, turnover ratios, and price impact measures. They gauge different aspects of market liquidity, namely tightness (costs), immediacy, depth, breadth, and resiliency. These measures are applied in selected foreign exchange, money, and capital markets to illustrate their operational usefulness. A number of measures must be considered because there is no single theoretically correct and universally accepted measure to determine a market's degree of liquidity and because market-specific factors and peculiarities must be considered.
