About Time

Posted on

Stand-up comedy and trading have a surprising amount in common. Both rely on strong communication but can have unpredictable results depending on your audience. Most important though is the secret of comedy… timing.
Timing is arguably the most important part of any trading decision; it can often take days between a PM making a trading decision and it being implemented in the market. In fast moving markets a delay of even an hour or so can wipe out any improvements made through trading.
On the sell-side timing is equally important, even if a broker doesn’t have a say over when an order is placed, they often control how quickly it is executed and whether to front- or rear-weight the trading.
In this paper we look at how we can break down common performance metrics to show the benefits (or cost) of timing. This can help clients understand whether it is the algo itself that’s performing well or simply their choice of strategy.

3Aller au-delà du point de base Le stand-up et le trading ont beaucoup de choses en commun.

Nous introduisons… La liquidité variable en continu

Posted on

Combien de vitesses a votre voiture ? 5, peut-être 6 ? Pour une conduite décontractée, c’est amplement suffisant ; toutefois, si la conduite devient plus complexe, le besoin de plus de contrôle se fait sentir. Les pilotes de F1 en ont en fait 8 , et à l’époque où je fréquentais une ferme, 24 étaient la norme pour un tracteur. De nos jours, de nombreux véhicules s’en sortent avec des vitesses traditionnelles. La transmission à variation continue permet un contrôle des rapports de vitesse à l’infini.

Maintenant, de combien de stratégies de recherche de liquidités disposez-vous ? Cinq, voire six ? Vous voyez où cela nous mène…

Dans ce document, nous vous présentons une nouvelle approche de la définition des stratégies de liquidité et nous vous démontrons comment une approche réfléchie de l’accès aux venues peut offrir une bien meilleure expérience au trader.

Introducing… Continuously Variable Liquidity

Posted on

How many gears does your car have? 5, maybe 6? For casual driving that’s plenty, but as the complexity of driving goes up so does your need for control. F1 drivers currently have 8, and back in my farming days 24 was pretty standard on a tractor. Nowadays many vehicles are now doing away with traditional gears all together. Continuously Variable Transmission gives you infinite control over the gear ratio.

Now, how many liquidity seeking strategies do you have access to? 5, maybe 6? You see where this is going…

In this paper we introduce a new approach to defining a liquidity strategy and show how a thoughtful approach to venue access can provide a vastly better experience to the trader.
