LiquidMetrix WorkStation Post Trade Analysis
LiquidMetrix Trade Benchmarking We analyse a trade: Buy 46 SSAB shares for SEK 100.1. To benchmark the trade we rebuild all order books for venues where SSAB trades on. We benchmark against the best volume weighted price available for an aggressive order at the time of the trade. In this case the trade happened at the best price of SEK 100.1 (quoted by multiple venues).
Compliance Looking for outliers List of the worst outliers, i.e. trades that were executed on one venue whilst a better aggressive price was available for that trade on a different venue. The example shows a sell trade for 188 shares in Lundin Petroleum that was done on Nasdaq OMX (XSTO) but could have been done for a slightly better price on Burgundy.
Drilling deeper... Drilling deeper we can see that the trade could have been done on Burgundy. Burgundy was offering 1000 shares for a better price of SEK 77.75. The other 5 venues were all offering SEK 77.70
... and deeper... Here is the exact order book state of all venues at the time of the trade... The 1,000 share bid on Burgundy was present in the book for about 1 minute before the trade and remained on book for several seconds after the trade. So this is a fairly clear outlier. However, for perspective the miss was SEK 0.05 * 188 shares = SEK 9.44
Aggregate Execution Quality Analysis 4,179 trades worth SEK 255m About 2% of trades by number could have been improved. The total price improvement this represents in value is about SEK 1,800 or about 0.07BPS.
Aggregate Report by Instrument Compare the relative performance by instrument for instance: Modern Times Group has 6% outliers. ABB Ltd has 0% outliers.
