Financial Events Recognition in Web News for Algorithmic Trading

Due to its high productivity at relatively low costs, algorithmic trading has become increasingly popular over the last few years. As news can improve the returns generated by algorithmic trading, there is a growing need to use online news information in algorithmic trading in order to react real-time to market events. The biggest challenge is to automate the recognition of financial events fro...

Algorithmic Trading and Information

We examine algorithmic trades (AT) and their role in the price discovery process in the 30 DAX stocks on the Deutsche Boerse in January 2008. AT liquidity demand represents 52% of volume and AT supplies liquidity on 50% of volume. AT act strategically by monitoring the market for liquidity and deviations of price from fundamental value. AT consume liquidity when it is cheap and supply liquidity...

Intention-Disguised Algorithmic Trading

We propose a general model underlying the problem of designing trading strategies that leak no information to frontrunners and other exploiters. We study major scenarios in the market and design a family of algorithms that can be proven to leak no information in important scenarios. These algorithms can serve as building blocks for more challenging real-world scenarios beyond our current scope....
