This book was released on 2002 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we estimate the probability of informed trading (Pi) in an order-driven stock market as well as perform a comprehensive analysis on the interrelations among probability of informed trading and three common performance indicators, i.e., liquidity, volatility and efficiency. We find that uninformed traders exhibit price chasing behavior even over very short time interval and that volatility in stock price attracts uninformed traders. Using 3SLS which takes into consideration the endogeneity of the probability of informed trading and the liquidity, volatility and efficiency measures, our empirical results provide new evidence on market microstructure literature. We find that Pi and the volatility and liquidity of stocks are simultaneously determined. Higher Pi leads to lower liquidity and higher volatility, and vice versa. Liquidity can explain volatility and efficiency, while the opposite is not true. Firms with larger size, higher ownership concentration and lower turnover have higher probability of informed trading.
Book Synopsis Measuring the Probability of Informed Trading in an Order-Driven Auction Market and a Comprehensive Analysis on the Determinants of Informed Trading by : Tai Ma
Download or read book Measuring the Probability of Informed Trading in an Order-Driven Auction Market and a Comprehensive Analysis on the Determinants of Informed Trading written by Tai Ma and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, we are able to estimate the probability of informed trading on a transactional basis, which makes the hitherto difficult task of examining the transactional dynamics between informed trading, market depth and spread feasible. In addition, we have integrated the determinants of informed trading by a comprehensive analysis.We find that, as informed traders arrive, current volume and spread increase. This supports the clustering of trading hypothesis and provides empirical evidence to Admati and Pfleiderer (1988) viewpoint that both volatility and volume increase with informed trading. The VAR result suggests that uninformed traders avoid trading with the informed, and the decision of the uninformed depends on previous condition. The decision of the informed is based more on current situation and is attracted by price volatility.Overall, it is clear that the ultimate determinants of informed trading lies with the firm's financial quality and ownership structure. The condition of the market influences the timing of the informed trading, rather than the level of informed trading between firms.
Book Synopsis Estimating the Probability of Informed Trading by : Ken Nyholm
Download or read book Estimating the Probability of Informed Trading written by Ken Nyholm and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a new empirical model, I estimate the probability of trades being generated by privately informed traders. Inference is drawn on a trade-by-trade basis using data samples from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The modeling setup facilitates in-depth analysis of the estimated probability of informed trading at the intraday level and for stocks with different levels of trading activity. The most important empirical results are: (a) the intradaily pattern of the inferred probability of informed trading is highly correlated with the intradaily pattern of observed quoted spreads, (b) differences in the magnitude of quoted spreads across volume categories are not exclusively related to differences in the level of informed trading, and (c) private information is incorporated faster in the quotes for high-volume stocks than in the quotes for low-volume stocks.

Book Synopsis Limit vs. Market Order Trading on the Saudi Stock Market by : Mohammad Al-Suhaibani
Download or read book Limit vs. Market Order Trading on the Saudi Stock Market written by Mohammad Al-Suhaibani and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses an order data set to analyze trading by limit versus market orders on the Saudi Stock Market. Building on the literature on a trader's choice problem in order driven markets, we interpret the data using a Random Utility Model and approach the problem statistically using a logit model. The performance of the orders resulting from the decisions of traders also is examined. The empirical results show that the probability of placing a market order is negatively related to the inside spread and order size, and is positively related to order imbalance and previous same-side market orders. The performance measures indicate that limit order strategies perform better than a market order strategy.

Book Synopsis How Markets Really Work by : Larry Connors
Download or read book How Markets Really Work written by Larry Connors and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, traders and investors have been using unproven assumptions about popular patterns such as breakouts, momentum, new highs, new lows, market breadth, put/call ratios and more without knowing if there is a statistical edge. Common wisdom holds that the stock markets are ever changing. But, as it turns out, common wisdom can be wrong. Offering a comprehensive look back at the way the markets have acted over the last two decades, How Markets Really Work: A Quantitative Guide to Stock Market Behavior, Second Edition shows that nothing has changed, that the markets behave the same way today as they have in years past, and that understanding this puts you in a prime position to profit. Written by two top financial experts and filled with charts and graphs that illustrate the market concepts they develop, the book takes a sometimes contrarian view of everything from market edges to historical volatility, and from volume to put/call ratio, giving you all that you need to truly understand how the markets function. Fully revised and updated, How Markets Really Work, Second Edition takes a level-headed, data-driven look at the markets to show how they function and how you can apply that information intelligently when making investment decisions.
Book Synopsis Trading and Electronic Markets: What Investment Professionals Need to Know by : Larry Harris
Download or read book Trading and Electronic Markets: What Investment Professionals Need to Know written by Larry Harris and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true meaning of investment discipline is to trade only when you rationally expect that you will achieve your desired objective. Accordingly, managers must thoroughly understand why they trade. Because trading is a zero-sum game, good investment discipline also requires that managers understand why their counterparties trade. This book surveys the many reasons why people trade and identifies the implications of the zero-sum game for investment discipline. It also identifies the origins of liquidity and thus of transaction costs, as well as when active investment strategies are profitable. The book then explains how managers must measure and control transaction costs to perform well. Electronic trading systems and electronic trading strategies now dominate trading in exchange markets throughout the world. The book identifies why speed is of such great importance to electronic traders, how they obtain it, and the trading strategies they use to exploit it. Finally, the book analyzes many issues associated with electronic trading that currently concern practitioners and regulators.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging Markets and the Global Economy investigates analytical techniques suited to emerging market economies, which are typically prone to policy shocks.

Contributors present new theoretical constructions and empirical methods for handling cross-country volatility and sudden regime shifts. Usually attractive for investors because of the superior growth they can deliver, emerging markets can have a low correlation with developed markets. This collection advances your knowledge about their inherent characteristics. Foreword by Ali M. Kutan Concentrates on post-crisis roles of emerging markets in the global economy Reports on key theoretical and technical developments in emerging financial markets Forecasts future developments in linkages among developed and emerging economies
Book Synopsis Informed Trade, Uninformed Trade, and Stock Price Delay by : Narelle Gordon
Download or read book Informed Trade, Uninformed Trade, and Stock Price Delay written by Narelle Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines how the probability of informed trading (PIN), a measure of information-based trading risk developed by Easley et al (1996), affects the speed at which stock prices adjust to market-wide information. We find that in all but the least active stock portfolios, prices of low PIN stocks are faster to impound market-wide news than those of high PIN stocks. PIN's significance in explaining individual stock price delay is robust to the inclusion of size, liquidity and risk controls, but is subsumed by the level of uninformed trade. Our results suggest that low-PIN stock prices adjust to market information more rapidly as a result of a notably high level of informed trading as well as an even much higher level of uninformed trading, and the delayed response of high-PIN stock prices is primarily driven by the lack of uninformed trading. Our findings provide new empirical evidence regarding the channel through which trading affects the speed at which stock prices adjust to information, and support the notion that at least part of the informed trading captured by PIN relates to the skilled interpretation of public common factor information by sophisticated investors (Vega, 2006).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of our study is to investigate the trading behavior of informed and uninformed investors in a screen-based, order-driven environment. As more and more exchanges conduct trading through electronic limit-order books, it is increasingly important to analyze consequent trading behavior and its impact on the liquidity provision process. We examine one of the largest electronic, order-driven markets in the world, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. Our findings show that the interaction of informed and uninformed traders plays a significant role in determining corporate liquidity.
