Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book exposes and comments on the consequences of Reg NMS and MiFID on market microstructure. It covers changes in market design, electronic trading, and investor and trader behaviors. The emergence of high frequency trading and critical events like the"Flash Crash" of 2010 are also analyzed in depth. Using a quantitative viewpoint, this book explains how an attrition of liquidity and regulatory changes can impact the whole microstructure of financial markets. A mathematical Appendix details the quantitative tools and indicators used through the book, allowing the reader to go further independently. This book is written by practitioners and theoretical experts and covers practical aspects (like the optimal infrastructure needed to trade electronically in modern markets) and abstract analyses (like the use on entropy measurements to understand the progress of market fragmentation). As market microstructure is a recent academic field, students will benefit from the book's overview of the current state of microstructure and will use the Appendix to understand important methodologies. Policy makers and regulators will use this book to access theoretical analyses on real cases. For readers who are practitioners, this book delivers data analysis and basic processes like the designs of Smart Order Routing and trade scheduling algorithms. In this second edition, the authors have added a large section on orderbook dynamics, showing how liquidity can predict future price moves, and how High Frequency Traders can profit from it. The section on market impact has also been updated to show how buying or selling pressure moves prices not only for a few hours, but even for days, and how prices relax (or not) after a period of intense pressure. Further, this edition includes pages on Dark Pools, Circuit Breakers and added information outside of Equity Trading, because MiFID 2 is likely to push fixed income markets towards more electronification. The authors explore what is to be expected from this change in microstructure. The appendix has also been augmented to include the propagator models (for intraday price impact), a simple version of Kyle's model (1985) for daily market impact, and a more sophisticated optimal trading framework, to support the design of trading algorithms.

We observe their actual current behavior at financial markets and try to assess whether existing theoretical arguments and assumptions are still valid in the world today, or the newly available rich data samples provide new answers to old questions that researchers have not been able to answer before.

Book excerpt: This book, written by Joakim Westerholm, Professor of Finance and former trading professional, is intended to be used as basis for developing courses in Securities markets, Trading, and Market microstructure and connects theoretic rigor with practical real world applications.Market technology evolves, the roles of market participants change, and whole market segments disappear to be replaced by new ways to exchange securities. Yet, the same underlying economic principles continue to drive trading in securities markets. Thus, the scope of the book is global, providing a framework that is relevant both for current market designs and for future markets we will see develop. It is designed to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving field.The book contains a selection of lecture notes through which students will gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanism that drives trading in securities markets. The book also contains another set of lecture notes with more advanced, research-based material, suitable for Honours or Master level research students, or for PhD candidates. The material is self-explanatory and can also be used for self-study, preferably in conjunction with assigned readings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Area of Research and the Object of Investigation In this thesis we will investigate trading strategies in illiquid markets from a market microstructure perspective. Market microstructure is the academic term for the branch of financial economics that investigates trading and the organization of security markets, see, e. g. , Harris (2002). Historically, exchanges evolved as a location, where those interested in buy ing or selling securities could meet physically to transact. Thus, traditionally security trading was organized on exchange floors, where so-called dealers arranged all trades and provided liquidity by quoting prices at which they were willing buy or sell. Consequently, the initial surge of the market mi crostructure literature focused predominantly on this type of market design, which is often referred to as quote-driven. Nowadays, the interest is shifting towards order-driven markets. Beginning with the Toronto Stock Exchange in the mid 1970s and increasing in fre quency and scope, this market structure has emerged as the preeminent form of security trading worldwide. In order-driven markets, exchanges arrange trades by matching public orders, often by employing automatic execution systems. Introduction A major difference between a quote-driven and an order-driven market arises from the transparency pre- and post-trade. The pre-trade transparency con cerns the question whether the order book is visible to the keeper only, or whether it is open to the public.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled MARKET MICROSTRUCTURE OF AN ORDER DRIVEN MARKET submitted by Ming-yan, William, Cheung for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2004. In this thesis, we conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of a prototype pure order-driven market, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Specifically, we explore two main market microstructure issues in this order-driven stock market. The first issue is the use of trading activity to explain spread and the second issue is the dynamic relationship between limit and market order in the order flow composition. We propose two concepts in each for each issue, namely the Order aggressiveness and Order flow cycle. First, we find that the intraday spread exhibit two U-shaped patterns in the morn- ing and the afternoon. We solve the puzzle of volume effect on spread as our results show that in an order-driven market, the spread is lower when the transaction volume is higher in last period. This means the transaction volume is reflecting more of the econ- omy of scale in transaction cost, than information asymmetry among traders since the higher asymmetry should widen the spread. We introduce the order aggressiveness as an alternativemeasureoftradingactivityandarguethatitworksbetterinreflectingtheliq- uidity demand and thus, degree of asymmetric information among traders. Furthermore, the estimated order processing component in spread is about 33% while the estimated asymmetric information component is only 14%, suggesting that order processing cost is the major binding component of spread in the Hong Kong stock market. Also, the asymmetric information component in the Hong Kong stock market is much lower than that in specialist or dealership markets.In the second part of the thesis, we examine the effect of different market status and time-of-a-day factor on the order flow ocmposition. We propose the concept of Cycle of Order Flow on top of traditional order flow composition and derive useful hypotheses. We find that increase in number of limit orders attracts trades, then this consumption of liquidity attracts limit orders, which completes the cycle of order flow. The spread has a significant negative effect on number of market orders while the order size has significant negativeeffectonthenumberoflimitorders. Thenumberofblocktradingincreaseswith more limit order at- or within-the-quote while the number of small size trading decreases with more limit orders available within-the-quote. In an pure order-driven market, without any market makers, although the market participants are only trading for their own beliefs and benefit, our analysis show that their limit and market orders make up the market and create an equilibrium between demand and supply of liquidity, consequently construct the cycle of order flow.
