Strategic Foundation for the Tail Expectation in
Limit Order Book Markets
 
 
       

A Talk by Dr. Lawrence R. Glosten


Abstract

We analyze the strategic interactions of liquidity suppliers quoting on a limit order book.  In an environment with noise traders and informed traders trading on news we show that there is an equilibrium that feature quoters using mixed strategies; each offering the same quantity of shares at random prices (and, of course, random bid prices).  These random prices with the associated quantities form the market quotes and the depth of book, or price schedule.  There are equilibria with a smaller number of quoters quoting a larger number of shares and equilibria with a larger number of quoters quoting a smaller number of shares.  Considering a sequence of equilibria with the number of quoters getting large, we establish that the stochastic equilibrium price schedule converges to the zero profit deterministic competitive price schedule.  An offer (or bid) is characterized as the expectation of the future value conditional on the offer being picked off by a larger buy (or sell) order.

About the Series

The IAQF's Thalesians Seminar Series is a joint effort on the part of the IAQF (www.iaqf.org) and the Thalesians (www.thalesians.com). The goal of the series is to provide a forum for the exchange of new ideas and results related to the field of quantitative finance. This goal is accomplished by hosting seminars where leading practitioners and academics present new work, and following the seminars with a reception to facilitate further interaction and discussion.
