17 1. Linear impact, general resilience Strategy: N + 1 market orders: ξ n shares placed at time t n s.th. a) 0 = t 0 t 1 t N = T (can also be stopping times) b) ξ n is F tn -measurable and bounded from below, c) we have N ξ n = X 0 n=0 Sell order: ξ n < 0 Buy order: ξ n > 0 5

19 Cost per trade c n (ξ) = At n+ A t n Bt n+ B t n yq dy = q 2 (A2 t n + A 2 t n ) for buy order ξ n > 0 yq dy = q 2 (B2 t n + B 2 t n ) for sell order ξ n < 0 (positive for buy orders, negative for sell orders) Expected execution costs [ N C(ξ) = E n=0 ] c n (ξ) 7
20 A simplified model No bid-ask spread St 0 = unaffected price, is (continuous) martingale. S t = S 0 t + 1 q ξ n ψ(t t n ). t n <t Trade ξ n moves price from S tn to S tn + = S tn + 1 q ξ n. Resulting cost: c n (ξ) := St n+ S t n yq dy = q 2 [ S 2 tn + S 2 t n ] = 1 2q ξ2 n + ξ n S tn (typically positive for buy orders, negative for sell orders) 8
21 Lemma 1. Suppose that S 0 = A 0. Then, for any strategy ξ, c n (ξ) c n (ξ) with equality if ξ k 0 for all k. Thus: Enough to study the simplified model (as long as all trades ξ n are positive) 9
22 Lemma 1. Suppose that S 0 = A 0. Then, for any strategy ξ, c n (ξ) c n (ξ) with equality if ξ k 0 for all k. Thus: Enough to study the simplified model (as long as all trades ξ n are positive) 9
23 Lemma 2. In the simplified model, the expected execution costs of a strategy ξ are [ N C(ξ) = E n=0 ] c n (ξ) = 1 2q E[ C ψ t (ξ) ] + X 0S 0 0, where C ψ t is the quadratic form C ψ t (x) = N m,n=0 x n x m ψ( t n t m ), x R N+1, t = (t 0,..., t N ). 10
24 First Question: What are the conditions on ψ under which the (simplified) model is viable? Requiring the absence of arbitrage opportunities in the usual sense is not strong enough, as examples will show. Second Question: Which strategies minimize the expected cost for given X 0? This is the optimal execution problem. It is very closely related to the question of model viability. 12
25 The usual concept of viability from Hubermann & Stanzl (2004): Definition A round trip is a strategy ξ with N ξ n = X 0 = 0. n=0 A market impact model admits price manipulation strategies if there is a round trip with negative expected execution costs. 13
26 In the simplified model, the expected costs of a strategy ξ are C(ξ) = 1 2q E[ C ψ t (ξ) ] + X 0S 0 0, where C ψ t (x) = N m,n=0 x n x m ψ( t n t m ), x R N+1, t = (t 0,..., t N ). There are no price manipulation strategies when C ψ t definite for all t = (t 0,..., t N ); is nonnegative when the minimizer x of C ψ t (x) with i x i = X 0 exists, it yields the optimal strategy in the simplified model; in particular, the optimal strategy is then deterministic; when the minimizer x has only nonnegative components, it yields the optimal strategy in the order book model. 14
27 Bochner s theorem (1932): C ψ t is always nonnegative definite (ψ is positive definite ) if and only if ψ( ) is the Fourier transform of a positive Borel measure µ on R. C ψ t is even strictly positive definite (ψ is strictly positive definite ) when the support of µ is not discrete. 15
28 Bochner s theorem (1932): C ψ t is always nonnegative definite (ψ is positive definite ) if and only if ψ( ) is the Fourier transform of a positive Borel measure µ on R. C ψ t is even strictly positive definite (ψ is strictly positive definite ) when the support of µ is not discrete. Seems to completely settle the question of model viability; for strictly positive definite ψ, the optimal strategy is ξ = x = X 0 1 M 1 1 M 1 1 for M ij = ψ( t i t j ). 15
29 Examples Example 1: Exponential resilience [Obizhaeva & Wang (2005), Alfonsi, Fruth, S. (2008)] For the exponential resilience function ψ(t) = e ρt, ψ( ) is the Fourier transform of the positive measure µ(dt) = 1 π Hence, ψ is strictly positive definite. ρ ρ 2 + t 2 dt 16
30 Optimal strategies for exponential resilience ψ(t) = e ρt $%# $%# $ $ "%# "%# "!! " # $! &'($" $%# "!! " # $! &'($# $%# $ $ "%# "%# "!! " # $! &'(!" "!! " # $! &'(!# 17
31 The optimal strategy can in fact be computed explicitly for any time grid [Alfonsi, Fruth, A.S. (2008)]: Letting X 0 λ 0 = 1 M 1 1 = X a 1 + N n=2 the initial market order of the optimal strategy is x 0 = λ a 1,, 1 a n 1+a n the intermediate market orders are given by ( x 1 n = λ 0 a ) n+1, n = 1,..., N 1, 1 + a n 1 + a n+1 and the final market order is x N = λ a N. all components of x are strictly positive 18
32 For the equidistant time grid t n = nt/n the solution simplifies: x 0 = x N = X 0 (N 1)(1 a) + 2 and x 1 = = x N 1 = ξ 0(1 a). #$! #$! # # "$! "$! "!! "! #" #! %&'#" #$! "!! "! #" #! %&'#! #$! # # "$! "$! "!! "! #" #! %&'(" "!! "! #" #! %&'(! 18
33 The symmetry of the optimal strategy is a general fact: Proposition 3. Suppose that ψ is strictly positive definite and that the time grid is symmetric, i.e., t i = t N t N i for all i, then the optimal strategy is reversible, i.e., x t i = x t N i for all i. 19
34 Example 2: Linear resilience ψ(t) = 1 ρt for some ρ 1/T The optimal strategy is always of this form: & ()*+,-./1()*(0.3 % $ ()*+,-./1,201 #! "!!!! "! # $ % & ' ()*+,-./+*(01 It is independent of the underlying time grid and consists of two symmetric trades of size X 0 /2 at t = 0 and t = T, all other trades are zero. 20
35 More generally: Convex resilience Theorem 4. [Carathéodory (1907), Toeplitz (1911), Young (1912)] ψ is convex, decreasing, nonnegative, and nonconstant = ψ( ) is strictly positive definite. 21

37 Example 4: Trigonometric resilience The function cos ρx is the Fourier transform of the positive finite measure µ = 1 2 (δ ρ + δ ρ ) Since it is not strictly positive definite, we take ψ(t) = (1 ε) cos ρt + εe t for some ρ π 2T. 26
38 Trigonometric resilience ψ(t) = cos(tπ/2t ) e t $! (! #" $" $! #! #" " #! "!!!"!"! " #! %&'$!!#!! " #! %&'$! 27
39 Example 5: Gaussian resilience The Gaussian resilience function ψ(t) = e t2 is its own Fourier transform (modulo constants). The corresponding quadratic form is hence positive definite. Nevertheless... 28

45 Definition [Hubermann & Stanzl (2004)] A market impact model admits price manipulation strategies in the strong sense if there is a round trip with negative expected liquidation costs. Definition: A market impact model admits price manipulation strategies in the weak sense if the expected liquidation costs of a sell (buy) program can be decreased by intermediate buy (sell) trades. 34
46 Question: When does the minimizer x of x i x j ψ( t i t j ) with x i = X 0 i,j i have only nonnegative components? Related to the positive portfolio problem in finance: When are there no short sales in a Markowitz portfolio? I.e. when is the solution of the following problem nonnegative x Mx m x min for x 1 = X 0, where M is a covariance matrix of assets and m is the vector of returns? Partial results, e.g., by Gale (1960), Green (1986), Nielsen (1987) 35
47 Proposition 5. [Alfonsi, A.S., Slynko (2009)] When ψ is strictly positive definite and trading times are equidistant, then x 0 > 0 and x N > 0. Proof relies on Trench algorithm for inverting the Toeplitz matrix M ij = ψ( i j /N), i, j = 0,..., N 36
48 Theorem 6. [Alfonsi, A.S., Slynko (2009)] If ψ is convex then all components of x are nonnegative. If ψ is strictly convex, then all components are strictly positive. Conversely, x has negative components as soon as, e.g., ψ is strictly concave in a neighborhood of 0. 37
49 Qualitative properties of optimal strategies? 41
50 Qualitative properties of optimal strategies? Proposition 8. [Alfonsi, A.S., Slynko (2009)] When ψ is convex and nonconstant, the optimal x satisfies x 0 x 1 and x N 1 x N 41
51 Proof: Equating the first and second equations in Mx = λ 0 1 gives N x j ψ(t j ) = j=0 N x j ψ( t j t 1 ). j=0 Thus, x 0 x 1 = N N x j ψ( t j t 1 ) x j ψ(t j ) j=0, j 1 N = x 0ψ(t 1 ) x 1ψ(t 1 ) + j=2 j=1 (x 0 x 1)ψ(t 1 ), by convexity of ψ. Therefore (x 0 x 1 )(1 ψ(t 1 )) 0 x j [ ψ(tj t 1 ) ψ(t j ) ] 42

54 Proposition 9. [Alfonsi, A.S., Slynko (2009)] Suppose that ψ(t) = (1 kt/t ) + and that k divides N. Then the optimal strategy consists of k + 1 equal equidistant trades. &" * % ) $ ( # '! & "!! "! # $ % &" &! +,-&"".-/,&" Proof relies on Trench algorithm 45

62 f(x) = shape function = densities of bids for x < 0, asks for x > 0 B 0 t = unaffected bid price at time t, is martingale B t = bid price after market orders before time t D B t = B t B 0 t If sell order of ξ t 0 shares is placed at time t: D B t changes to D B t+, where D B t+ f(x)dx = ξ t and D B t B t+ := B t + D B t+ D B t = B 0 t + D B t+, = nonlinear price impact 48
63 A 0 t = unaffected ask price at time t, satisfies Bt 0 A 0 t A t = bid price after market orders before time t D A t = A t A 0 t If buy order of ξ t 0 shares is placed at time t: D A t changes to D A t+, where D A t+ f(x)dx = ξ t and D A t A t+ := A t + D A t+ D A t = A 0 t + D A t+, For simplicity, we assume that the LOB has infinite depth, i.e., F (x) as x, where F (x) := x 0 f(y) dy. 49
64 If the large investor is inactive during the time interval [t, t + s[, there are two possibilities: Exponential recovery of the extra spread D B t = e t s ρ r dr D B s for s < t. Exponential recovery of the order book volume E B t = e t s ρ r dr E B s for s < t, where E B t = 0 f(x) dx =: F (D B t ). D B t In both cases: analogous dynamics for D A or E A 50
65 Strategy: N + 1 market orders: ξ n shares placed at time τ n s.th. a) the (τ n ) are stopping times s.th. 0 = τ 0 τ 1 τ N = T b) ξ n is F τn -measurable and bounded from below, c) we have Will write N ξ n = X 0 n=0 (τ, ξ) and optimize jointly over τ and ξ. 51
66 When selling ξ n < 0 shares, we sell f(x) dx shares at price Bτ 0 n + x with x ranging from Dτ B n to Dτ B n + < Dτ B n, i.e., the costs are negative: c n (τ, ξ) := D B τ n+ (B 0 τ n + x)f(x) dx = ξ n B 0 τ n + D B τ n+ xf(x) dx D B τn D B τn When buying shares (ξ n > 0), the costs are positive: c n (τ, ξ) := ξ n A 0 τ n + D A τ n+ D A τn xf(x) dx The expected costs for the strategy (τ, ξ) are [ N C(τ, ξ) = E n=0 ] c n (τ, ξ) 52
67 Instead of the τ k, we will use (1) α k := τk τ k 1 ρ s ds, k = 1,..., N. The condition 0 = τ 0 τ 1 τ N = T is equivalent to α := (α 1,..., α N ) belonging to A := { α := (α 1,..., α N ) R N + N α k = k=1 T 0 } ρ s ds. 53
68 A simplified model without bid-ask spread S 0 t = unaffected price, is (continuous) martingale. S tn = S 0 t n + D n where D and E are defined as follows: E 0 = D 0 = 0, E n = F (D n ) and D n = F 1 (E n ). For n = 0,..., N, regardless of the sign of ξ n, E n+ = E n ξ n and D n+ = F 1 (E n+ ) = F 1 (F (D n ) ξ n ). For k = 0,..., N 1, The costs are E k+1 = e α k+1 E k+ = e α k+1 (E k ξ k ) c n (τ, ξ) = ξ n S 0 τ n + Dτ n+ D τ n xf(x) dx 54
69 Lemma 10. Suppose that S 0 = B 0. Then, for any strategy ξ, Moreover, where c n (ξ) c n (ξ) with equality if ξ k 0 for all k. [ N C(τ, ξ) := E n=0 C(α, ξ) := ] c n (τ, ξ) N n=0 [ ] = E C(α, ξ) Dn+ D n xf(x) dx is a deterministic function of α A and ξ R N+1. X 0 S 0 0 Implies that is is enough to minimize C(α, ξ) over α A and ξ { x = (x 0,..., x N ) R N+1 N x n = X 0 }. n=0 55
70 Theorem 11. Suppose f is increasing on R and decreasing on R +. Then there is a unique optimal strategy (ξ, τ ) consisting of homogeneously spaced trading times, τ i+1 τ i ρ r dr = 1 N T 0 ρ r dr =: log a, and trades defined via and as well as Moreover, ξ i F 1 (X 0 Nξ0 (1 a)) = F 1 (ξ0) af 1 (aξ0), 1 a ξ 1 = = ξ N 1 = ξ 0 (1 a), ξ N = X 0 ξ 0 (N 1)ξ 0 (1 a). > 0 for all i. 56
71 Taking X 0 0 yields: Corollary 12. Both the original and simplified models admit neither strong nor weak price manipulation strategies. 57
