27 QUANTITY (SHARES) Example: Matching Engine Dynamics TIME 11 Bid-Ask Spread $- $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 $8.00 $9.00 $10.00 Bids (Buy Orders) Asks (Sell Orders) Asks Executed Order Execution Order to Buy 4 shares at $6.00 There already exists an order to sell at this price Matching engine matches buy to sell to make a trade Ask limit order at $6.00 is partially executed

28 QUANTITY (SHARES) Example: Matching Engine Dynamics TIME 11 Bid-Ask Spread $- $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 $8.00 $9.00 $10.00 Bids (Buy Orders) Asks (Sell Orders) Order Execution Order to Buy 4 shares at $6.00 There already exists an order to sell at this price Matching engine matches buy to sell to make a trade Ask limit order at $6.00 is partially executed Bid-ask spread does not change

31 QUANTITY (SHARES) Example: Matching Engine Dynamics TIME 12 Bid-Ask Spread Price $- $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 $8.00 $9.00 $10.00 Price Change Price of stock changes to $4.00 (discontinuously) as a result of last trade Price is piecewise constant function of time Bids (Buy Orders) Asks (Sell Orders)

32 QUANTITY (SHARES) Example: Matching Engine Dynamics TIME 13 Price Bid-Ask Spread Another Limit Order Offer to buy at $5.00, limit 7 Bid-ask spread narrows again Price remains at last trade, which is $ $- $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 $8.00 $9.00 $10.00 Bids (Buy Orders) Asks (Sell Orders)
