Download or read book A Direct Test of Methods for Inferring Trade Direction from Intra Day Data written by Thomas J. Finucane and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study directly tests the ability of several competing methods to identify market buy and sell orders using intra-day quote and trade prices, and identifies factors that affect the accuracy of the methods. Lee and Ready's (1991) algorithm performs about the same as the tick test, but the performance of both methods is worse than expected. The results show that the use of either algorithm to classify trades can lead to significantly biased estimates of effective spreads and signed volume, but the tick test provides better estimates of effective spreads and signed volume than Lee and Ready's method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retail traders share many common experiences as they navigate the perilous waters when trading financial instruments. Whether it’s stocks, bonds, options, futures or currencies, we have all experienced the seemingly endless contradictions and reversals of pundits, the strategy failures of “Trading Gurus” and the breakdowns of the chart indicators we rely upon most. We are conditioned to rely on subjectivity, when what we need most are objective truths to minimize risk and maximize opportunity. Quantitative Analysis, or Quant Trading has been out of reach of the retail trader and small family office due to the complexity of the method and the tools required - that is until now. In this book you will find a true compass, by learning a method based only on empirical facts and not opinion, to help you predict price direction. Knowing price direction is one of the single most important factors in trading success. Quantitative Directional Trading is a method and a set of tools contained in a cloud platform that you can rely on to show you the behavior of historical price conditions and help you predict their future movements. The Quantitative Directional Trading method helps us to get to this level of truth through a process of price mapping of hundreds of thousands of data points in the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000– to see under what conditions price is likely to behave in similar ways. This book explains a simple method & provides the resources that can be effectively used by the everyday Retail Trader or Family Office, trading full or part time, and used with existing trading strategies or stand alone, to better control risk and improve trading outcomes. It also provides an introduction to the QuantDirection Platform and the QuantFoundation.

Download or read book Trade Direction in Order Driven Markets Definition Inference and Evidence written by Shing-yang Hu and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a new definition for trade direction to capture the information effect in order-driven markets. To define the trade direction, the existing literature uses quote-matching rules to identify whether it is the buyer or the seller initiates or triggers a trade. The quote-matching rule is well suited for a quote-driven market, but not so for an order-driven market. In a continuous auction and order-driven market, orders that are submitted based on information but do not trigger a trade will not be counted using the quote-matching rule. Also, in a call auction order-driven market, one cannot identify who triggers the trade because the timing of order clearance does not depend on the arrival of any specific order.To deal with these issues, we propose to define the trade direction based on the sign of the net order arrived between two transactions, that is the relative size of the buy and sell orders. If the buy order arrived between two transactions is larger than the sell order, we say the trade is buyer dominated and define the trade direction to be positive. Based on the new definition, we develop ATT (Augmented Tick Test) rules to infer the trade direction. To examine the validity of this new trade direction, we apply our ATT rules to the transaction data observed in the Paris Bourse and the Taiwan Stock Exchange and find that ATT rules have information content. Furthermore, using the ATT rule and quote-matching rule together allows us to decompose the trade-related return into permanent and temporary components. The ATT rule is better at capturing the permanent component, while the quote-matching rule is better at capturing the temporary component.
