英文摘要:
We present a novel approach to describing the microstructure of high frequency trading using two key elements. First we introduce a new notion of informed trader which we starkly contrast to current informed trader models. We describe the exact nature of the `superior information\' high frequency traders have access to, and how these agents differ from the more standard `insider traders\' described in past papers. This then leads to a model and an empirical analysis of the data which strongly supports our claims. The second key element is a rigorous description of clearing conditions on a limit order book and how to derive correct formulas for such a market. From a theoretical point of view, this allows the exact identification of two frictions in the market, one of which is intimately linked to our notion of `superior information\'. Empirically, we show that ignoring these frictions can misrepresent the wealth exchanged on the market by 50%. Finally, we showcase two applications of our approach: we measure the profits made by high frequency traders on NASDAQ and re-visit the standard Black - Scholes model to determine how trading frictions alter the delta-hedging strategy.

中文摘要:
我们提出了一种使用两个关键元素描述高频交易微观结构的新方法。首先,我们引入了知情交易者的新概念,这与当前的知情交易者模型形成了鲜明的对比。我们描述了高频交易者所能获得的“高级信息”的确切性质,以及这些代理人与过去论文中描述的更标准的“内幕交易者”有何不同。这就产生了一个模型,并对数据进行了实证分析,这有力地支持了我们的观点。第二个关键要素是严格描述限额指令簿上的结算条件,以及如何推导此类市场的正确公式。从理论角度来看,这允许准确识别市场中的两个摩擦,其中一个与我们的“高级信息”概念密切相关。从经验上看,我们表明,忽视这些摩擦可以将市场上交换的财富歪曲50%。最后,我们展示了我们方法的两个应用:我们衡量纳斯达克高频交易员的利润,并重新访问标准的布莱克-斯科尔斯模型,以确定交易摩擦如何改变delta对冲策略。
