3 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Liquidation via Limit Orders An investor wishes to liquidate a large position. To have a guaranteed execution price, use limit orders. No guaranteed execution time: trading frequency depends on the spread between limit price and bid price. Objective: maximize total revenue by a fixed liquidation date T. Use a queue representation of limit order book. Study a stochastic control problem where the investor controls the frequency of trading. Leads to nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations. 3 / 23

5 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Price Model (P t ): bid price process. Assume e rt P t is a martingale. (N t ): counting process of order fills and τ k the corresponding arrival times, N t = k 1 {τ k t}. Each order is unit size. Λ t : (controlled) intensity of order fill. s t 0: spread between the bid price and the limit order of the investor. N t t 0 Λ s ds is a martingale and expected revenue is [ n ] E e rτ i (P τi + s τi 1 {τi T }). i=1 4 / 23
6 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Background Unaffected price is a martingale. No price impact, however, trade intensity depends on the strategy. Inspired by the model of Stoikov and Avellaneda (2009). Our view of the LOB as a system of Poisson processes is similar to recent work by Cont and co-authors on multi-queue formulations. In previous work (BL11) considered a similar case but without control over the spreads. 5 / 23
7 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Optimization Problem Start with n shares to sell. Maximize expected revenue until T : E [ n i=1 e rτ i (Pτi + s τi 1 {τi T }) ]. Assume intensity of order fills is Λ(s t ). Remaining shares at T are liquidated at the bid price. Since e rt P t is a martingale, ignore the baseline revenue np 0. Maximize expected profit due to limit orders: [ n ] V (n, T ) := sup E e rτ i s τi 1 {τi T }. (s t ) S T S T is the collection of F-adapted controls, s t 0 with F t := σ(n s : s t). i=1 6 / 23
8 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Inventory Process X t : remaining inventory at time t with X 0 = n. X t := X 0 N t is a death" process with intensity Λ(s t ). Re-write [ ] [ T τ(x) ] T τ(x) V (n, T ) = sup E e rt s t dn t = sup E e rt s tλ(s t) dt. (s t ) S T (s t ) S T 0 0 τ(x) := inf{t 0 : X t = 0} is the time of liquidation. Boundary conditions are V (n, 0) = 0 n (terminal condition in time) V (0, T ) = 0 T (exhaustion). 7 / 23
9 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books PriceExtensions Model Inventory Process Nonlinear ODE Using standard methods, value function is the viscosity solution of { } V T + sup Λ(s) (V (n 1, T ) V (n, T ) + s) rv (n, T ) = 0, s 0 with boundary conditions V (0, T ) = V (n, 0) = 0 and V T denoting partial derivative wrt time-to-expiration. Optimal control is of Markov feedback type, st = s(xt, T t). Focus on: Special functional forms of Λ(s) that admit closed-form solutions. The fluid limit where order size 0 and trade intensity is Λ(s)/. 8 / 23

Then ( V (n, T ) = c n 1 e rαt ) ( ) 1/(α 1) 1/α λ, s (n, T ) = (1 e rαt ) 1/α, αrc n with c n satisfying the recursion where A α := (α 1)α 1 α α. rc n = A α λ(c n c n 1 ) 1 α, n 1, c 0 = 0, 9 / 23
11 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books Explicit Extensions Solutions Continuous Selling Limit Solution Structure Empirical tests suggest that α [1.5, 3]. V (n, T ) is concave in n. n s (n, T ) is decreasing. Λ(s (n, T )) = everything by T. C(n) 1 e rαt On infinite horizon, lim T V (n, T ) = c n. Also have an explicit solution when r = 0. so P(σ i T τ i 1 ) = 1 for all i n. Liquidate 10 / 23
12 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books Explicit Extensions Solutions Continuous Selling Limit Continuous Selling Limit Consider the problem where shares are sold at increments and Λ (s) := Λ(s)/. The corresponding value function V (x, T ) with x {0,, 2, }, T R + is the viscosity solution of V T λ + sup s 0 s α (V (x, T ) V (x, T ) + s ) rv = 0. (1) As 0, the limiting PDE is v T + sup s 0 λ s vx s α explicit solution rv = 0, which has v(x, T ) = ( ) 1/α λ x (α 1)/α ( 1 e rαt ) 1/α. rα The optimizer above is s (0) (x, T ) = ( ) λ 1/α 1 ( ) αr x 1 e rαt 1/α. 1/α 11 / 23

Corollary Let us denote by s ( ) the pointwise optimizer in (1). Then we have that s ( ) s (0) uniformly on compacts. Clearly, the marginal spread will go to zero as n.

Realistically, order fill intensity might be finite even at zero spread. Also, the LOB tail for large spreads might be thinner. Consider Λ(s) = λe κs. 15 / 23

Then for x = n, the value function V (x, T ) with boundary condition V (x, 0) = V (0, T ) = 0 is V (x, T ) = n ( ) j κ log 1 λt, s (n, T ) = 1 j! e κ + V (n ) V ((n 1) ). j=0 As 0, V (n, T ) v(x, T ) uniformly on compacts, where v(x, T ) solves the nonlinear first order PDE v T (x, T ) = λ κ e 1 κvx (x,t ), v(0, T ) = v(x, 0) = / 23

Have the bounds ( ) x λ κ log x T v(x, T ) λ κe T. Cannot guarantee liquidation by T. Impossible to do so when x > λe 1 T. 17 / 23
20 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books FiniteExtensions Horizon Infinite Horizon Explicit Solution III: Infinite Horizon Proposition For exponential-decay LOB with T = + and discounting rate r > 0 we have V (x) = ( (λr κ W 1 1 exp κ V (x ) 1) ), x {0,, }. where W is the Lambert-W function. As 0, V (x) v(x) uniformly on compacts where ( ) eκrv(x) li λ := erx y, li(y) := λ 0 1 log t dt. 18 / 23

We take r = 0.1 and depth functions Λ(s) {s 2, s 3, e 1 s }, which have been normalized such that Λ(1) = 1 in all three cases. The plot shows the resulting fluid limit spreads s (0) (x). 19 / 23
22 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books Extensions General Limit Order Book Shapes Our fluid limit Convergence Theorem holds for general shapes of limit order books. Furthermore if s Λ(s) is decreasing and then: both V and v are concave; s ( ) and s (0) are decreasing; s ( ) s (0) uniformly on compacts. Λ(s)Λ (s) (Λ (s)) 2 < 2, s R +, 20 / 23
23 Limit Order Book Model Power-Law Intensity Law Exponential Decay Order Books Extensions Other Extensions Liquidity might be stochastic. As a first approximation, have closed-form solution to a power-law LOB with regime-switching Λ(s, t) = λ Mt /s α where (M t ) is a two-state indep. Markov chain. Can also consider multiple trading venues. For instance, continuous trading on exchange C, discrete orders of on exchange L. Obtain a nonlinear delay ODE.
