4. 3. Optimal Order Placement Using Markov Models of Limit Order Books

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Max Oliveberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Optimal order placement; Limit order book; Markov; Optimal orderläggning; Orderbok; Markov;

   Abstract : We study optimal order placement in a limit order book. By modelling the limit order book dynamics as a Markov chain, we can frame the purchase of a single share as a Markov Decision Process. Within the framework of the model, we can estimate optimal decision policies numerically. The trade rate is varied using a running cost control variable. READ MORE

5. 4. Predictive Modeling and Statistical Inference for CTA returns : A Hidden Markov Approach with Sparse Logistic Regression
