We develop a High Frequency (HF) trading strategy where the HF trader uses her superior speed to process information and to post limit sell and buy orders. By introducing a multi-factor mutually-exciting process we allow for feedback effects in market buy and sell orders and the shape of the...

We analyze the impact of high frequency (HF) trading in financial markets based on a model with three types of traders: liquidity traders (LTs), professional traders (PTs), and high frequency traders (HFTs). Our four main findings are: i) The price impact of liquidity trades is higher in the...

Algorithmic Trading (AT) and High Frequency (HF) trading, which are responsible for over 70\% of US stocks trading volume, have greatly changed the microstructure dynamics of tick-by-tick stock data. In this paper we employ a hidden Markov model to examine how the intra-day dynamics of the stock...

We develop a high frequency (HF) trading strategy where the HF trader uses her superior speed to process information and to post limit sell and buy orders. By introducing a multifactor mutually exciting process we allow for feedback effects in market buy and sell orders and the shape of the...

We propose a class of execution algorithms that consists of a strategic layer and a speculative layer. The strategic layer is an optimal trading schedule that encodes the trader's objective, her tolerance to risk, and the impact of her own trades in the market. The schedule of the strategic...

We build statistical models to describe how market participants choose the direction, price, and volume of orders. Our dataset, which spans sixteen weeks for four shares traded in Euronext Amsterdam, contains all messages sent to the exchange and includes algorithm identification and member...

We employ reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to devise statistical arbitrage strategies in electronic markets. In particular, double deep Q network learning (DDQN) and a new variant of reinforced deep Markov models (RDMMs) are used to derive the optimal strategies for an agent who trades in...
