Abstract

The speaker used a unique trading dataset of one week to analyze the behavior of high-frequency traders. About 8% of institutional traders intentionally or unintentionally first enter and then quickly cancel a buy (or sell) limit order without actually buying (or selling) before the trader actually sells (or buys) a security, and 45% of the institutions use this strategy at least once during the week. The total number of executions that is carried out by this strategy accounts for about 8% of all the executions of institutional traders for the purpose of proprietary trading. In this lecture, the speaker will show that the p-value for testing that all this behavior is a random event, and thus unintentional, is extremely small, equal to the probability of observing a 53-standard deviation event. Therefore, most likely at least part of the behavior is intentional and an indication of so-called “spoofing”, an attempt to manipulate prices. He will also show that on average, spoofing raises the return of a one-hour trade by 3 basis points and decreases the return of a three-hour trade against the spoofers by 6 basis points.

This is a joint work with Prof Xianhua Peng.
